Donald Trump Jr. has revealed his top pick for his father’s Secretary of State if he were to win the 2024 Presidential race, and it’s someone quite controversial. In a recent podcast episode, he expressed his desire to see Laura Loomer, a conspiracy theorist and internet personality, in the role. He praised Loomer’s tenacity and stated that he would love to see her as press secretary to witness the chaos it would cause in Washington, D.C.
However, Loomer’s track record and views have drawn significant criticism. She has made unsuccessful attempts to run for public office and has been known for her anti-Muslim views and promotion of conspiracy theories related to mass shootings. Loomer has claimed that certain mass shootings in 2018 were staged and involved crisis actors, among other unfounded allegations.
Furthermore, Loomer has been banned from multiple platforms including Uber, Lyft, Clubhouse, Facebook, and Instagram. Twitter also banned her, but her account was reinstated after Elon Musk purchased the platform.
In addition to Loomer, Donald Jr. mentioned other potential candidates for his father’s administration, including Kash Patel and Mike Davis. Patel previously served as chief of staff to the United States secretary of defense during Donald Trump’s presidency, while Davis is the founder of the Article III Project.
While Donald Jr.’s endorsement of Loomer may raise eyebrows, it remains to be seen if his father will consider her for any role in a potential future administration.
