She is the loudest, most aggressive pro-Israel voice in Donald Trump‘s orbit.
So when Laura Loomer leaned in close to the President two months ago and warned him that the American public was giving up on the Jewish State, his two-word reply landed like a thunderclap, carrying an ominous message for Benjamin Netanyahu.
‘You’re probably going to be the last pro-Israel President we ever have,’ Loomer recounted telling Trump, in an interview with the New York Times.
Trump, she says, replied: ‘You’re right.’
The White House pointedly did not deny the exchange. Spokeswoman Anna Kelly instead offered a boilerplate response that Israel ‘has always been a great ally to the United States’ and that its military was an ‘incredible partner’ in Iran.
Even Loomer, the far-right firebrand who has made it her mission to purge MAGA of anyone who wavers on Israel, concedes there has been a marked shift in public opinion, notably among Republicans.
She went so far as to suggest Israel should accept the elimination of US military aid, currently a $38 billion 10-year package set to expire in 2028.
Facing skeptical questions from MAGA-aligned college students about US support for Israel, JD Vance recently suggested his support for Jerusalem is not unequivocal.
‘Israel, sometimes they have similar interests to the United States, and we’re going to work with them in that case. Sometimes, they don’t have similar interests,’ he said at the University of Mississippi in October.
That this is a top story this morning and that Laura Loomer is a significant part of it is amazing and also a deep sign of the times. She is a bizarre character to be speaking with the president of USA at all and also to be a center-piece of the apparent decline of Israel. All of this provides even more credence to this video and others like it from the Promethean group. ABN
