Trump Attempts To Distance Himself From Laura Loomer But People Are Not Letting Him Off The Hook

This didn't end well for him.

Apparently Donald Trump is beginning to understand that hanging around Laura Looney, er, Loomer is not such a hot idea after all. This woman may well be the ultimate conspiracy theorist and she’s nuttier than a Payday bar. I guess he’s finally figured that out.

He’s putting the slightest distance between Miss “I hate everyone who isn’t like me” and himself. Which he announced in another rant on Truth Social. That subsequently caught the attention of MeidasTouch.com editor-in-chief Ron Filipkowski, who rarely misses anything Trump ever says.

“Trump attempts to distance himself somewhat from Laura Loomer,” Filipkowski posted on X (formerly Twitter).

Yeah, this looks like Trump is putting on the brakes here. Essentially that’s what “Laura Loomer doesn’t work for the Campaign. She’s a private citizen and longtime supporter,” means. And of course, “I disagree with the statements she made but, like the many millions of people who support me, she’s tired of watching the Radical Left Marxists and Fascists violently attack and smear me”…blah blah blah blahblah. Because yes, Trump ridiculously conflates Marxists and Fascists when these groups are diametrically the opposite of each other.

I’m going to put this in the simplest terms I can. So I’m referring to the good ol’ Merriam-Webster Dictionary, which defines Marxism as “the political, economic, and social principles and policies advocated by Marx
especially: a theory and practice of socialism (see socialism sense 3) including the labor theory of value, dialectical materialism, the class struggle, and dictatorship of the proletariat until the establishment of a classless society.”

And Fascism is described as “a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.”

These two ideologies can hardly be more different, but Trump is an ignorant fool, so of course he conflates the two. We already know he’s fond of the idea of fascism since he’s already said he’d like to be a dictator (for a day, anyway). But a capable president would understand the differences between these beliefs.

Capable isn’t a word I’d use to describe Trump. And the fact that he’s cooling his jets with Loomer, a far-right racist and anti-Muslim fascist if there ever was one, proves this point. A point, I might add, that was not lost on social media users.

@climatetechkev adds:

“A comment about distancing himself from Loomer ended with calling the governor of our largest state ‘Newscum’… he is the least presidential among us.”

“Trump is cornered like a rat with nowhere to run. He’s desperately resorting to extremes of racism and misogyny, and can’t even denounce Laura Loomer’s racist comments,” @FreeDemocracy observed.

@We_The_Free84 added:

“Loomer is not working for the campaign? Really? Who’s with a big horn campaigning for Trump? Who’s traveling with the old man in his private jet? Who’s the cook who wanted to kill Ron DeSantis? Loomer is providing sexual favors to Trump too. Who’s been by his side like a glue stick? It’s not Melania or Alina Habba. It’s the MAGA lunatic Laura loser Loomer.”

Trump is grasping at straws while giving everyone the fuzzy end of the sucker. Obviously as noted by the social media users above, people already see through him.
