Trump Says Laura Loomer Can Be a Little Nasty,' But Is Always Nice' to Him: That's All That Matters'

"While touting the success of the extraordinarily red state of Florida, Trump reflected on one year ago, when we were a dead country. Now, he said, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar are investing two trillion dollars each into the United States. So we took in six trillion, Trump claimed. That's why we have 18, because we took six from three countries. That helps, right? Laura? Is that right? Trump said, gesturing to Loomer in the crowd."

"Hi, Laura, the president continued on Friday, amidst cheers from the crowd. Boy, you are something. What spirit you have. Laura Loomer. Thank you, honey, for being here. I appreciate it. You know, she can be a little nasty, but to me, she's always nice, and that's all that matters, Trump said. I want her to stay that way, too."

"Earlier on Friday, Loomer actually slammed the president for meeting with former Fox host Tucker Carlson in the West Wing, writing, Every time Tucker Qatarlson visits the White House, GOP voter turnout decreases. In a follow-up post, she added, Looks like the 2 million Iranian American voters will be sitting out in the midterms, insinuating that Carlson's July interview with the president of Iran somehow influenced Trump not to use military force as the country continue[s] to murder thousands of innocent people."

President Donald Trump praised right-wing commentator Laura Loomer during a Palm Beach boulevard renaming event, calling her occasionally nasty but always nice to him. Trump claimed Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar are each investing two trillion dollars into the United States, asserting a total of six trillion and linking that to having "18." A November Bloomberg investigation found the actual investment promises are significantly smaller, raising questions about the size, durability, and real economic impact of the claimed influx. Loomer has criticized Trump over his meeting with Tucker Carlson and has been described as acting as a de facto national security adviser.
