In a dramatic turn of events, Laura Loomer, who first made headlines in 2017 for disrupting a Shakespearean play that depicted Julius Caesar as a Trump-like figure, has risen to prominence as a key influence in Donald Trump’s inner circle. Loomer's outburst at the play—where she condemned what she perceived as "assassination porn"—marked the beginning of her high-profile role in right-wing politics.

Since then, Loomer has cemented her position as a prominent far-right voice, frequently accompanying Trump to events, including a recent presidential debate in Philadelphia and a September 11 memorial, despite her controversial claims about the attacks. Her presence has been notably influential; she has even been at Trump’s side following his second attempted assassination, actively spreading related conspiracy theories on social media.
