Noah Berlatsky: Trump's love for Laura Loomer is disqualifying

Last week was one of the worst so far for Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign.

Trump’s bad week began Tuesday, when Vice President Harris made him look ridiculous and pathetic in their presidential debate. She was widely acknowledged as the winner even by conservatives, and her success was reflected in a post-debate polling bump. Trump, meanwhile, was widely mocked and ridiculed for spreading a racist hoax to fear-monger about Haitian migrants.

Trump hoped to change the narrative with a series of appearances that were supposed to focus on the economy and border security. But instead, he mostly made headlines for trying to explain his close relationship with 31-year-old far-right failed congressional candidate, conspiracy theorist, and white nationalist Laura Loomer.

Trump, of course, spends time with vicious bigots all the time, including when he’s hanging out by himself. Even by MAGA standards, though, Loomer is a disturbing and disgusting specimen — so much so that even Republican leaders and Trump loyalists have publicly urged the former president to distance himself from her.

Loomer’s constant and still unexplained presence by Trump’s side underlines his fascism, his poor judgement, and his manifest unfitness for office. The thought of a Trump presidency is terrifying for many reasons. But no one prepared to listen to advice from Laura Loomer should be elected to a water reclamation district board, much less to the presidency of the United States.

1. More than 'by Trump's side'. Welded to his hip. Did we ever see him this close to Melania?
