Trump flies with far-right activist Laura Loomer on VIP Marine One to Alabama

Donald Trump traveled to Mobile, Alabama on Marine One accompanied by right-wing activist Laura Loomer and aide Natalie Harp.

Donald Trump returned to the White House from a campaign event in Mobile, Alabama aboard Marine One, accompanied by far-right figure Laura Loomer and aide Natalie Harp, who entered through a separate door. Loomer, who describes herself as a “pro-white nationalist,” has become a regular informal adviser to Trump despite her controversial statements. In his lengthy address, Trump lauded Loomer, calling her a “killer” and a “great Republican strategist,” and hinted at recent tensions with her.

The president’s appearance in a traditionally safe GOP state underscored concerns about the upcoming midterms. After the trip, Loomer thanked Trump on X, emphasizing her pride in being praised. The White House has not responded to requests for comment.

Why it matters

The president’s public endorsement of an extremist activist highlights the influence of fringe figures on mainstream politics.
