A fierce ally of Donald Trump Sunday sounded the alarm about what she sees as a detrimental alliance the president has made.
Trump has previously enraged some parts of his Make America Great Again (MAGA) base with his embrace of Qatar, a Middle Eastern nation that played a role in Israel-Hamas negotiations. Far-right Trump fans condemn Qatar for its links to nations that sponsor terrorism.
Laura Loomer, a MAGA influencer who has been dubbed "The Trump Whisperer" due to her close ties to the president, is one such individual who doesn't like how close Trump has become with the Middle Eastern country.
Early Sunday morning, she dropped a lengthy screed on the subject of Qatar.
"I really wish President Trump would come to terms with the fact that Qatar is not our ally," she wrote on X. "I would also really like to see the Emiratis and the Saudis pledge to triple their investment commitments into the US to wedge out Qatar under the condition that President Trump designates the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign Islamic terrorist organization when Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud (MBS) visits the White House and meets with President Trump this month."
She continued:
"Obviously I don’t speak for President Trump, but why would we want or need to be handcuffed by Qatar, a global sponsor of Muslim Brotherhood and Iranian proxy terrorism? Why would we want Qatar to have any leverage or influence over the US simply because of money and a $400 million plane?"
The influencer then added, "I’m sure there’s plenty of Money to replace the Qatari commitments."
"The reality is, until the United States tells Qatar to go pound sand, we are not going to see an enforceable Trump admin initiated designation of the Muslim Brotherhood, because a designation of the Muslim Brotherhood would mean having to cut ties with Qatar since Qatar funds the Muslim Brotherhood and HAMAS," she wrote. "This would also mean that we would have to shut down the Qatari embassy in Washington DC that likely wishes they could bribe every single politician in DC to support Qatar and oppose designating the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign Islamic terrorist organization."
