    Some people will sincerely believe Vance, and then be offended that Democrats think they’re stupid.

    Let’s assume that she isn’t, being generous and disregarding OP’s photos for a moment.

    If both Trump and Vance are echoing this “pet-eating” stuff that she has said, it doesn’t really matter whether she’s affiliated or not, does it? The campaign is about putting two people – Trump and Vance – in office. Any formal affiliation that Loomer has is only meaningful insofar as it affects what Trump or Vance (or, I guess, the Trump-Vance campaign) is doing. And it really does seem that what she’s doing is affecting all three. Or that she’s drawing from campaign planners via a backchannel, which is again functionally equivalent to being formally-affiliated with the campaign in terms of what anyone would care about.

      Why is it an issue that she is affiliated with Trump?

      If anything, this is a great development for Democrats. Loomer is incompetent. So we should hope that Trump is listening to her

    “Look, Laura Loomer is not affiliated with the Trump campaign. She said something about curry in the White House that I first read about this morning actually, because I knew that you would ask me about it…” [emphasis my own]

    These guys are terrible liars. Between him and Trump, they sound like they have no idea what is going on.

    JD Vance is not affiliated with any semblance of objective truth and reality. Most of us have Internet access buddy, you can’t gaslight this kinda stuff away

    And whether you’re eating curry at your dinner table or fried chicken, things have gotten more expensive thanks to her policies.

    Oh very interesting choice of contrasting meal. It isn’t contrasting Trump, who famously likes his hamberders, so I wonder what it is meant to contrast.

    “Loomer is not affiliated with games, playing games and/or wanting to play games. She has never owned a tricycle and she wouldn’t even know how to operate one if given the opportunity.”

      Your comment implies that it’s accidental and undesired, whereas in reality they’re deliberately painting it on.

    We all knew this was coming. I have never meet her. I don’t know her. Who is she again? The old Trump Gas Light.
