A prominent ally of President Donald Trump says she won’t apologize for making money off her reputation.
Self-described journalist and activist Laura Loomer reportedly accepted thousands of dollars in undisclosed payments to write social media posts to her 1.9 million followers on X for clients who sought to reach the president, The Washington Post reported, citing former Trump campaign adviser Alex Bruesewitz and three anonymous sources. Loomer has been an influentialvoice among those in the president’s circle during his second term, having personally delivered information to him about National Security Council staffers she considered disloyal in April 2025 and urged him to fire them.
Loomer reportedly received $3,000 to $5,000, if not more, per commissioned social media post, according to the Post, citing two anonymous sources.

She and her media company, King Breaker Media, also appear to have received more than $60,000 across four payments since May 2025, according to bank records reviewed by the Post. These transactions may have served as payment for her X posts, two sources told the outlet, though the available financial records did not denote an explicit purpose.
“I’m not some influencer that makes money from tweeting. My business is public affairs and opposition research,” Loomer said in an interview with the Post. She also denied the allegation she asks for $5,000 per tweet.
“Thank you to the Washington Post for promoting my public affairs company and my opposition research firm today in an effort to demonize me for… *checks notes* being effective,” Loomer wrote Saturday in an X post responding to the Post’s report. “Turns out it’s not illegal in America to make a living, and it’s not illegal to have a business doing public affairs and opposition research.”
Loomer is like a “nuclear bomb,” an anonymous source told the Post.
“A great Republican strategist, a great person, a killer when she’s angry at you,” Trump similarly said of Loomer at an Oct. 2 campaign rally.
Loomer is an advocate of the Iran War, which critics such as Tucker Carlson and former Republican Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene argue was a betrayal of the America First movement.
“WaPo claims in their smear article about me that I am a ‘nuclear bomb.’ They are right,” Loomer added. “You can hire me, or your opposition will.”
Neither Loomer, Bruesewitz, nor the White House immediately responded to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s requests for comment.
Loomer accused Bruesewitz of paying conservative influencers for their social media posts through his firm, X Strategies, in another X post. She believes Bruesewitz disagrees with her politically and was “lashing out,” the Post reported.
Bruesewitz’s company paid Loomer for policy-related tweets in 2025, according to the Post. Loomer, however, claims she was paid to conduct one page of research for him.
“I’m not against creators getting paid, I just think it’s probably time for political influencers to disclose what opinions they are being paid for,” Bruesewitz said in a Saturday post to X responding to Loomer.
“Our discourse would be healthier if those arrangements had to be disclosed,” he continued, claiming he is transparent about his work.
Influencers must disclose an “endorsement” when they are paid to promote a product, according to the Federal Trade Commission.
