Trump news — live: Report Trump hiring ‘Islamophobe’ Laura Loomer sparks furious row with Marjorie Taylor Greene

A furious row has erupted in MAGA world after Donald Trump reportedly told aides to give “proud Islamophobe” Laura Loomer a role in his 2024 campaign.

Some Trump aides are said to have been concerned that such a hire would cause a backlash, given her history of inflammatory statements and embrace of fringe movements.

On Friday afternoon that backlash erupted, leading to a spat on Twitter between Ms Loomer and Georgia Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene, with prominent far-right figures joining in.

The row comes the day after an interview between Stormy Daniels and Piers Morgan aired in which she expressed some sympathy for Mr Trump but also called his arrest over the hush money payments to her and other  “progress for women”. In a lighter moment, she joked that he still owed her dinner.

The former president meanwhile raged at the Biden administration’s review of Afghanistan, which blamed him for the chaos that unfolded as the US left the country in August 2021.

His Truth Social rant followed Mr Trump describing his arrest and arraignment as the “Best Day in History” – when he became the first current or former US president ever charged with a crime.

Key Points

• Trump lashes out at Biden after White House blames him for Afghanistan chaos

• Stormy Daniels says she gets ‘suicide bomber’ style death threats

• Trump forced to admit he is one inch shorter than he claims

• Trump claims indictment ‘unbelievable experience’ and ‘Best Day in History’

Trump moves to hire ‘proud Islamophobe’ Laura Loomer, report says

20:07 , Oliver O'Connell

According to reports by The New York Times, Donald Trump has told aides to hire Laura Loomer, a far-right and anti-Muslim activist with a history of expressing bigoted views, for a campaign role.

The paper cites four people familiar with the plans.

Mr Trump and Ms Loomer met recently and he directed advisers to give her a role in support of his 2024 candidacy, two of the people familiar with the move told the Times.

It is unclear whether she would serve on his campaign or the main super PAC backing his presidential bid.

Ms Loomer attended the former president’s speech at Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday night.

Some of Mr Trump’s aides are said to have concerns that such a hire will cause a backlash, given her history of inflammatory statements and her embrace of the Republican Party’s fringes.

She once described Islam as a “cancer” and tweeted under the hashtag “#proudislamophobe,” and she has also celebrated the deaths of migrants crossing the Mediterranean.

On Friday afternoon that backlash erupted, sparking a furious row on Twitter between Ms Loomer and Georgia Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene, with prominent far-right figures joining in to support Ms Loomer.

This morning on Truth Social

14:41 , Oliver O'Connell

Former president Donald Trump flexed his fingers and fired up his Truth Social machine this morning to kickstart the day with a few dubiously capitalised rants featuring a bizarre use of quotation marks.

First, he claimed that lots of DeSantis campaign staffers were jumping ship:

We’re getting lots of job requests from people currently working for the Social Security/Medicare cutting (JUST WATCH!) DeSanctimonious Campaign. Ron’s Poll numbers are dropping so fast and furious that many people are speculating he’s not going to run. Just hired “Kiss of Death” Jeff Roe, who dropped YoungKim, to see if he can help (he will only help make Ron poor!). I’m leading in Texas by 42 points, Iowa and New Hampshire by a lot, overall by close to 40, and by 10 against Scamer Joe Biden!

Then he unloaded on “Stupid People”:

The good ol’ USA is losing so much, so fast, that at the end of the 1 1/2 years remaining in the most incompetent administration in history, we may not even have a Country left. There’s an INVASION at our Border, we’re about to lose our “Dollar” as the World Standard, and we could, because of “Stupid People,” end up in World War lll. The only things they do well is CHEATING ON ELECTIONS, DISINFORMATION CAMPAIGNS, and WEAPONIZING THE JUSTICE SYSTEM. We are a Nation in Decline, a Failing Nation!!!

He rounded out the breakfast-time rant with:

Here’s the new DISINFORMATION chant from the people destroying our Country - IT’S TRUMP’S FAULT!!!

This is not new.

Trump attacks Fox News - then uses the network in fundraising plea

14:00 , Megan Sheets

Donald Trump launched a fresh attack on his former favourite network late Thursday night over polling numbers that apparently didn’t fit his narrative.

“Why is FoxNews using Fake News CNN POLLS? Because they are Fake, even though I am leading by a lot, but not nearly as good as other polls,” he wrote on Truth Social. “Leading Biden by 9 points, leading Social Security cutting DeSanctimonious by 35 points. MAGA!”

Hours later, the former president put out a new plea for donations - via a video featuring Fox News coverage.

The video spliced together voiceovers of pundits including Sean Hannity dismissing the indictment against Mr Trump with dramatic scenes of Manhattan behind it - followed by heroic music and footage of his supporters.

In the eloquently-worded caption of his Truth Social post, Mr Trump wrote: “If you are doing poorly, as so many of you are, do not send anything.

“If you are doing well, which was made possible through the great policies of the Trump Administration, send your contribution to donaldjtrump.com/.

“We have to take back our Country and, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

Stormy Daniels reacts to Trump's favourite derogatory nickname for her

13:30 , Megan Sheets

A quick look at Stormy Daniels’ Twitter feed proves she has never been one to shy away from ugly nicknames given by her critics - in fact she enjoys using them to fire back.

Now, the adult film star has addressed Donald Trump’s favourite nickname for her: “Horseface.”

Speaking to Piers Morgan in a wide-ranging interview aired Thursday night, Ms Daniels said the name says more about Mr Trump than it does about her.

“This is our president of the United States, ladies and gentleman, outing to the world that he has a penchant for bestiality, because this is a guy who chased me for sex repeatedly, and then says I look like a horse?” she quipped.

Ex-national security officials have reportedly told prosecutors and a grand jury that they told former President Donald Trump on several occasions that he wasn’t allowed to seize voting machines after the 2020 election.

Former top Homeland Security official Ken Cuccinelli was asked about discussions within the Trump administration regarding the agency taking control of voting machines when he spoke in front of the grand jury previously this year, CNN reported on Thursday.

Mr Cuccinelli told the jury that he “made clear at all times” that DHS couldn’t take measures like that, one person told the outlet.

While Donald Trump’s historic appearance in a New York courtroom on criminal charges may have been a dark day for the former president, his arrest has been a boon for his tormentor Stormy Daniels.

“I thought he was going to get away with not being held accountable. When I found out it was coming, or potentially coming I thought I would feel excited or vindicated but it was kind of anticlimactic,” she told Morgan on TalkTV.

Stormy replied: "Yeah. And he had shown me pictures of his wife and son. We were just talking about how cute he was. Not any different than if we showed pictures right now of each other's kids. Like, look at his little outfit, you know?"

Morgan added: “Someone Tweeted you last week and said why did you sleep with him even though you knew he had a wife? And you replied, why did he invite me to his room, take off his clothes, and corner me when I came out of the bathroom even though he knew he had a wife?”

She replied: “Exactly. I mean that sums it up. Why is anyone responsible for somebody else's behaviour in their marriage? I didn’t take a vow to anybody. It’s this whole thing where you blame the other woman but in the other scenario, you really blame the other guy, you know what I mean?"

After their sexual encounter, Daniels said she left within five minutes and felt bad about it, wondering if she had encouraged him.

They met on multiple other occasions at events but she never allowed herself to be alone with him again.

She has since been criticised online for going to a married man’s room, to which she responds: why did he invite me to his room and get on the bed in his underwear?
