In a bizarre and unsettling video that recently surfaced, far-right activist Laura Loomer is seen interacting with Donald Trump, reinforcing her role as one of his most fervent supporters. The video, which has been described as “creepy AF” by yours truly, features Loomer gazing adoringly at Trump, telling him, “You’re the best, I love you,” in a way that left many viewers uncomfortable. The footage, shared widely across social media, has only added to the growing conversation around Loomer’s intense allegiance to the former president.
Loomer, a known conspiracy theorist and failed congressional candidate, has aligned herself closely with Trump over the years. She frequently defends him and echoes his claims of election fraud, particularly following the 2020 presidential election. Her connection to Trump appears to have grown deeper, with reports of her attending his rallies, events, and even spending time on his private plane. We’ve written quite a bit about Loomer HERE.
The viral video clip adds another layer to Loomer’s long-standing loyalty to Trump. Sitting across from Trump, who is wearing his signature “Make America Great Again” hat, Loomer speaks to him in a tone that many have described as unsettlingly intimate. Her declaration of love, coupled with Trump’s casual demeanor, has led to waves of criticism and ridicule on social media. The interaction, captured in a casual setting, reflects not only Loomer’s adulation of Trump but also her continued relevance within his circle.
For Loomer, this video is just another example of how she has built her political brand around Trumpism. Loomer first gained notoriety through her extreme views, particularly on immigration and Islam, and her efforts to expose what she calls “Big Tech censorship” after being banned from multiple social media platforms. However, she has found a renewed sense of purpose within Trump’s sphere, often positioning herself as a victim of the so-called “Deep State” and a defender of Trump’s cause.
Asked about Laura Loomer and concerns from some of his allies about her spending more time with him, Trump says she is a supporter and that he cannot control what she says.

Here’s our attempt at a transcript from the video:
Interviewer: “What would you say to your Republican colleagues or your allies who are concerned about your close relationship with Laura Loomer?”
Donald Trump: “Well, I don’t know what they would say. Laura’s been a supporter of mine, just like a lot of people are supporters, and she’s been a supporter of mine. She speaks very positively of the campaign. I’m not sure why you asked that question, but Laura’s a supporter. I don’t control Laura. Laura has to say what she wants. She’s a free spirit. Well, I don’t know. I mean, look, I can’t tell Laura what to do. Laura’s a supporter. I have a lot of supporters, but I don’t know what exactly you’re referring to.”
(Interruption) “Would smell like curry. That’s okay. Yeah, please.”
Donald Trump: “I just don’t know. Laura’s a supporter. I don’t know. She is a strong person. She’s got strong opinions, and I don’t know what she said, but that’s not up to me. She’s a supporter. Please.”
Interviewer: “K. A lot of people do.”
Donald Trump: “It’s a very big plane. Well, I have to see what the remarks are. You’re telling me, for the first time, we’re here discussing the destruction of San Francisco and California by a person that’s running for president, so I don’t even know what you’re talking about. I do know that she may have said something based on what you’re telling me, but I don’t know what she said. But I’ll go take a look and I’ll put out a statement later on, but I really don’t know. Please.”
Despite her controversial reputation, Loomer has managed to stay in Trump’s good graces. He has even endorsed her during her run for Congress in Florida, despite her losing the race to incumbent Lois Frankel. Trump’s willingness to maintain relationships with fringe figures like Loomer suggests that he continues to embrace even the most controversial supporters as part of his broader political strategy.
The video itself may have seemed like a harmless exchange between a political figure and one of his supporters, but the internet’s reaction has been far less forgiving. Descriptions of the encounter range from “cringe-worthy” to “creepy,” with many pointing out the almost fanatical devotion Loomer seems to exhibit toward Trump. This isn’t the first time Trump has found himself at the center of awkward interactions with women, but Loomer’s high-profile support for him in far-right circles makes the video stand out.
Rumours Donald Trump & Laura Loomer having an affair seem very likely to be true.
Loomer is a Trump loving lunatic who recently made an extremely offensive comment regarding Kamala Harris.

As Trump navigates ongoing legal battles and attempts to reassert his dominance in the Republican Party, it’s figures like Loomer who help maintain his connection to the most extreme elements of his base. The viral video of Loomer professing her admiration for Trump is just one more chapter in a strange and ever-evolving relationship between a controversial president and one of his most loyal—and sometimes unsettling—followers.
This video will likely continue to circulate among Trump’s critics and supporters alike, feeding into the narrative of Trump’s complicated and often bizarre interactions with those in his orbit. Meanwhile, Loomer’s undying support for Trump remains one of the defining features of her public persona, even as she continues to face backlash for her far-right views and conspiracy-laden rhetoric.
