It would be irresponsible not to speculate

Trump has been devoting a lot of time and attention to a particular superfan:

Zoom in: Loomer, a twice-failed congressional candidate in Florida, is frequent guest of Trump’s at Mar-a-Lago, has called the 9/11 attacks an “inside job,” and described herself as a “proud Islamophobe.” She has 1.2 million followers on X.

• She has spent significant time with the ex-president this week, flying on his plane to the debate in Philadelphia and appearing with him on the sidelines of the 9/11 memorial ceremonies in New York City and Shanksville, Penn., on Wednesday.
• Her presence at the 9/11 ceremonies in particular drew groans from several Republicans who back Trump. “I don’t understand what the issue is about me going to the 9/11 memorial,” Loomer told CNN, adding that those at the ceremony were “very happy to see me.”
• Critics also noted that this week, Loomer was among those making false posts on X about immigrants killing and eating dogs and cats in Ohio — a claim that Trump made in Tuesday’s debate.

The Trump-Loomer admiration fest is well documented. He’s given her shout-outs while on stage at his rallies, and sent her handwritten notes in response to her tweets.

• “Laura — I hear you! Sounds good to me,” Trump wrote in August 2023 next to a printed out Loomer tweet that read: “Traitors in your own camp is danger I will sniff them all out in 2025.”

This is why Trump is hanging out with Laura Loomer. Watch them with their hands all over each other at Mar-a-Lago. Note: He’s married. pic.twitter.com/GKdSMjDnvD— Mike Sington (@MikeSington) September 12, 2024

She’s just a free spirit is all.

Far be it from me to suggest that Donald Trump would ever consider straying from the vows he made to the spouse who will not appear with him on the campaign trail and does not currently seem to be residing in the same state, but…it’s out there!

Needless to say, Loomer becoming an inner-ring Trump sycophant is an excellent illustration of Trump’s total unfitness for office even if their relationship is strictly platonic.

They're trying to spread rumors of an affair to cover up that Loomer is now Trump's campaign advisor https://t.co/J6WLqA8vai— Josh Marshall (@joshtpm) September 13, 2024
