Laura Loomer is replacing Melania Trump: If You Thought Things Couldn’t Get Any Worse for Trump.

If there was one relatively low-key figure in Donald Trump’s inner circle who kept a relatively dignified profile, it was Melania Trump.

Sure, her time as First Lady was marked by questionable choices, most notably the infamous “I Don’t Care, Do You?” jacket. However, compared to the unrelenting chaos surrounding her husband’s administration, she was an understated and restrained figure.

However, in a troubling new development, it seems Melania Trump has disappeared from Trump’s public life, and a dangerous figure has taken her place: Laura Loomer.

For those unfamiliar, Loomer is a far-right provocateur, conspiracy theorist, and internet troll who has gained notoriety for her inflammatory, often racist statements.
