WASHINGTON, DC: Far-right political activist and conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer showed off her support for Donald Trump by sharing a new picture of them locked in an embrace on Wednesday, October 23.
The photo, which was uploaded on X (formerly Twitter), fanned existing rumors of the two having an affair, though Loomer has maintained that it was not the case, as per Nicki Swift.
Her post included a sarcastic remark aimed at Trump's political opponents, as the caption read, "Enjoy this pic of me hugging Hitler."

Laura Loomer has been a staunch advocate of Donald Trump
Apart from being a vocal Donald Trump supporter over social media and her podcast, Laura Loomer has made frequent appearances alongside the former president on his campaign trail for the 2024 election. She even flew on his private jet to the ABC News presidential debate and accompanied him to a 9/11 memorial service.
Trump has been overtly fond of Loomer, and referred to her as a "free spirit." He apparently did consider giving her a legitimate role in his campaign but changed his mind after facing backlash from fellow GOP leaders.
Loomer's influence in the Trump campaign is hard to miss. On Friday, she tweeted a warning to people who may cross the GOP nominee and called for accountability from his supporters.
The 31-year-old wrote, "In 2 weeks, every disloyal traitor will pretend like they have always been Donald Trump’s best friend. We won’t let them get away with it."
She added, "Once we win, we need to see some accountability so that we can create a barrier between Donald Trump and those who only seek to use him and abuse him. A lot of very bad people will try to wiggle their way into President Trump’s orbit and we have to block them all."

On an episode of his HBO show in September, the comedian had remarked, "I think maybe Laura Loomer’s in an arranged relationship to influence the election because she’s very close to Trump."
He added, "She’s 31, looks like his type. Who’s Trump f***ing? Because I said, it’s not nobody. He’s been a dog for too long. And it’s not Melania. I think we may have our answer this week. I think it might be Laura Loomer."
