Trump Reshuffles National Security Team Following Laura Loomer Meeting

The controversial activist’s growing influence raises concerns as Trump replaces key advisors with isolationist-leaning figures.

Donald Trump dismissed or reassigned several National Security Council members after meeting with Laura Loomer on April 2, 2025.
Loomer, known for her inflammatory rhetoric and conspiracy theories, criticized the loyalty of advisors, including National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, during the meeting.
Trump has acknowledged listening to Loomer's recommendations and praised her as a 'great patriot,' despite her divisive reputation.
Loomer has been banned from multiple platforms for hate speech and spreading false information, yet her proximity to Trump is increasing.
The reshuffle reflects a broader shift in Trump’s foreign policy team, replacing 'neoconservative' advisors with figures aligned with isolationist policies.
