Sources in and around convicted felon former President Trump’s campaign tell NBC they’re just going to give up on getting him to cut ties with racist MAGA psychopath Laura Loomer because they value their paychecks more than speaking out against an influence more malign than them that could doom his bid, forget about anything like simple moral virtue demanding that freak be exiled.

“The people that have the authority to stop it are hanging on to their jobs,” a former Trump 2020 campaign official said. “So are you going to pick that fight with him?” the source continued.

An anonymous, Trump-allied Republican senator said Trump is “often drawn to people who like and promote him. It’s really dumb.” This asshole needed anonymity to call him the “D” word, lol. Another GOP senator said “Everybody’s stunned that he would bring her down on his plane to the debate but even more stunned that she would be riding with him on the 9/11 anniversary. That kind of stuff will create a distraction you can’t overcome.” Asked if Trump aides are enabling Loomer for fear of losing their jobs, the senator said, “There’s a lot of that in almost every campaign, but definitely this campaign.” Note that the senator didn’t actually provide any similar examples from other campaigns.

Loomer herself responded to a reporter seeking comment with “Why do you want to speak to me? I don’t work for President Trump.” A Trump campaign aide, who also required anonymity, said the same, that Loomer is “not a member of our staff.” Not hard to imagine that the fear is that bringing the matter up to Trump would immediately result in Loomer being added to the payroll.
