I don\u2019t think it\u2019s helpful at all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Unfortunately, it\u2019s not clear that Trump has any intention to cut ties with Loomer. Last year, he reportedly suggested she be hired for an official role on the campaign, and while CNN reports that advisers and allies shot down the idea, she has clearly remained in his orbit. At a press conference on Friday, the ex-president <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/donald-trump\/trump-defends-far-right-activist-laura-loomer-s-free-spirit-supporter-rcna171061\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told<\/a> reporters, \u201cLaura has been a supporter of mine. Just like a lot of people are supporters, and she\u2019s been a supporter of mine. She speaks very positively of the campaign\u2026I don\u2019t control Laura. Laura\u2014she\u2019s a, she\u2019s a free spirit. Well, I don\u2019t know.
