To the surprise of no one
Oh no oh no there’s a wacko hanging around with Trump, that will ruin everything.
The presence of hard-right conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer alongside Donald Trump on the campaign trail in recent days has raised questions, including from some Republicans, about the influence the controversial former congressional candidate may have on him.
Seriously! Because otherwise he would be entirely rational and thoughtful and able to utter a coherent sentence.
[O]n Tuesday, [Loomer] travelled to Philadelphia on board Trump’s plane for the presidential debate in the city. Perhaps the most memorable moment of that debate came when Trump repeated a baseless claim that illegal immigrants from Haiti have been eating domestic pets in a small Ohio city. “They are eating the pets of the people that live there,” he said.
City officials later told BBC Verify that there have been “no credible reports” this has actually happened. Trump said he was repeating claims he had heard on television, but the theory was aired by Ms Loomer just a day before the debate. On Monday, the fringe pundit and social media influencer repeated the claims to her 1.2m followers on X.
While the level of access Ms Loomer has to Trump is unclear, and his running mate JD Vance has also spread the baseless theory, Ms Loomer’s post and her presence in Philadelphia has led some Republicans to blame her for the former president making the unfounded claim on stage.
Right, because normally he doesn’t make unfounded claims at all ever.
Another outspoken Trump supporter, Marjorie Taylor Greene, took issue with Ms Loomer this week over her comments questioning Harris’s race and a post in which she said the White House “will smell like curry” if Harris – who is partly of Indian descent – is elected. Greene said Ms Loomer’s comments were “appalling and extremely racist” and did “not represent who we are as Republicans or MAGA” – prompting a flurry of furious messages in her direction.
That’s great. The Trump maniacs are now brawling over who is the most maniacal. The answer is: ALL OF YOU.
That would be AMAZING!
Now I’m hungry.
What about those taco trucks on every corner that we were supposed to get if Hillary won? Is that still a possibility?
Fortunately we don’t have to go to the White House to get our Indian food–there’s a great place just a few blocks away. But if she decides to start serving Jamaican food, I’m there.
Ah the difference between the Old Country and the New World. A place in the UK that didn’t smell of curry would be weird. Even our white nationalists eat it. The dullest small town will have a curry house.
Curry flavor as opposed to people trying to curry favor….
KBPlayer. But…but…what do the purveyors of meat puddings and boiled potatoes do in the face of this unfair competition ?
Now I can’t decide – a White House that smells like curry, or taco trucks on every corner? Which do I want more? I think I’ll vote for the curry, but my husband is definitely on board for the taco trucks. He doesn’t like curry. I can’t imagine…
Even if you’re close enough to the White House to smell the curry, you’d probably never get invited in. Whereas with the trucks, you’d always have a taco handy if you craved one.
Well since her husband is a Brooklyn Jew maybe it’ll be curry knishes… Is that allowed even?
If the republicans win, will the VP residence smell like curry? Usha Vance is Indian.
