Big day for far-right activist Laura Loomer and her attempts to get closer to Trump.
Trump was considered hiring her earlier this year, a plan that was apparently called off after it leaked to the NYT and MTG slammed it. But now he's inviting her to watch golf with him. pic.twitter.com/AW8ZWpGIKV

Thread: Trump this morning amplified on Truth Social at least 7 different QAnon-promoting accounts a total of 16 times, including amplifying an image featuring a "Q+" (what some QAnon supporters refer to Trump as). Below are images showing this. pic.twitter.com/yaBciHy8AE

It absolutely should be a bigger story that Trump constantly amplifies QAnon accounts and posts. Kudos to @AlKapDC for tracking this.
But Trump has done this for years, so the outrage declined as the novelty wore off. Trump encouraging extremists became a "dog bites man" story. https://t.co/xqcCrWj9fL
