Does anyone else find the idea that a veteran crackpot conspiracy theorist like #Trump is being “influenced” by Laura #Loomer to be comical? How do we know he isn’t influencing her?

Via @emptywheel:
“The prob isn’t Laura #Loomer. She’s little diff than all the other extremists who remain in #Trump’s good graces by performing near-perfect sycophancy
The prob is precisely what Walz warned: Trump’s narcissism & his ego make him weak, vulnerable to any person willing to use flattery to win their objectives
Trump’s aides are making same argument Walz is: that Trump doesn’t have the self-control to protect against extremists making him their ready tool”
