Weird news came out of Trumpworld yesterday - apparently Trump wants to bring Laura Loomer onto his 2024 presidential campaign. Maggie Haberman, Trump's personal stenographer, is reporting that Trump really wants to hire the ultra far-right and anti-Muslim nutjob to help his campaign. Why? No idea.

Apparently Trump met with her recently and somehow she convinced him that she would be a great addition to his campaign. She has not been hired yet, but the mere mention of it caused a MASSIVE backlash in MAGA world, starting with none other than Marge Three Toes:

Laura Loomer is mentally unstable and a documented liar.

She can not be trusted.

She spent months lying about me and attacking me just because I supported Kevin McCarthy for Speaker and after I had refused to endorse her last election cycle.

She loves the alleged FBI… pic.twitter.com/1D78hU59Z0

Loomer was cagey when contacted by reporters, saying: “Out of respect for President Trump, I’m not going to comment on private conversations that I had with the president. The president knows I have always been a Trump loyalist and that I’m committed to helping him win re-election in 2024. He likes me very much. And it’s a shame that he’s surrounded by some people that run to a publication that is notorious for attacking him in order to try to cut me at the knees instead of being loyal to President Trump and respecting their confidentiality agreements.”

Confidentiality agreements? What is she talking about?

So why Loomer? Why now? Well, apparently she has been vying for Trump's attention by posting on social media directly attacking Ron DeSantis and his wife. Flattery will apparently get you somewhere.

Twitter has thoughts:

BREAKING: It's being reported that Former President Donald Trump looking to hire Laura Loomer to work for his campaign.

This is the same Laura Loomer who handcuffed herself to the Twitter building after Twitter banned her from their platform. This is the same Laura Loomer who… pic.twitter.com/8A1GDFIwH6

Apparently Marjorie Taylor Greene plays by Highlander rules. She just criticized Laura Loomer whom Trump wants as an advisor. There can be ONLY ONE hateful unhinged anti-semitic Islamophobic woman next to Trump. There can be ONLY ONE.

NEW: Trump’s staff is trying to stop him from hiring infamous bigot Laura Loomer.

“Hell fucking no,” is how one Trump campaign official put it. https://t.co/KQoneljTHX

If you need a job and you happen to be an unhinged, hateful bigot with a history of absurd statements and theatrical antics you'd be a perfect advisor for Donald Trump. He wants Laura Loomer. The bar is low. Apply, folks!

There can only be one dumb, hateful, bigoted moron working with Donald Trump. Marge is determined to keep that title.

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!
