In a striking statement on his Rumble show on Thursday, Donald Trump Jr. voiced his preference for Laura Loomer, a figure known for her far-right conspiracy theories, to assume the role of White House press secretary in the event of his father Donald Trump's potential return to the presidency.
Loomer, who openly identifies as an "Islamophobe," has been involved in spreading misleading narratives about significant events, including mass shootings and the Covid-19 pandemic, and her controversial statements have led to her being barred from several social media platforms.
According to a report by Mediaite, Trump Jr. said, “She’s a bulldog, man, I will say that. She gets after it. I’d love to see her as press secretary just to watch D.C. just explode. There’s a couple of people that you could put in positions like that, you know.”
Beyond endorsing Loomer, Trump Jr. also expressed his wish to see Kash Patel and Mike Davis appointed as interim attorney generals in the Department of Justice under a potential Trump administration.
His suggestions are seen as an attempt to shake up political norms and challenge his family's adversaries.
The proposition of appointing Loomer, a divisive figure, to such a prominent position underscores the ongoing efforts to disrupt the political landscape in Washington, D.C., and align it with the Trump family's political stance and tactics.
