‘Damn!’: Trump Loyalist Tries to Stroke His Ego During a Big Moment — MTG Turns It Into a Public Drag Session and Revives a Nasty Nickname for Payback
Mar 02, 2026
President Donald Trump thrives on spectacle — especially the kind where his most loyal allies flood the timeline with praise, amplify his message and defend his every move without hesitation. And in moments of crisis, his inner circle usually moves as one.
But former Congresswoman Marjorie Tay
lor Greene had other plans and instead of letting the praise cycle run, she blew it up. Since breaking publicly with Trump on foreign policy and distancing herself from what she once championed, Greene has shown little patience for what she now calls blind loyalty.

And that shift collided head-on with one of Trump’s most vocal online loyalists: Laura Loomer.
Loomer has built her brand on aggressive, unfiltered defense of Trump — defending his rhetoric, defending his instincts, defending his posture on Israel and foreign policy even when others in his orbit hesitate. If Trump speaks, Loomer amplifies. If he doubles down, she goes harder.

So when news broke that several American service members had been killed or injured following U.S. strikes on Iran, Loomer did what she often does in Trump’s world: she stepped in to reinforce the narrative.
The conflict entails another layer of tension because Israel, a key U.S. ally in the region, was directly involved in carrying out the strikes. Greene framed the escalation as a foreign regime-change effort undertaken “on behalf of Israel,” while Loomer — also a staunch defender of the U.S.-Israel alliance — has been firmly supportive of any aggressive action against Iran.
The flashpoint came just after dawn, when Loomer posted what read like a straightforward tribute: “3 US Service members have been killed in action as part of Operation Epic Fury. American heroes. God bless them and their families.”
Greene accused Loomer of celebrating bloodshed and she did not mince words.
“This b-tch is celebrating the death of American military members and thanking their families for their blood sacrifice,” she wrote. “Loomer lost two Congressional races bc nobody respected her or valued her enough to elect her. But this is who Trump takes late-night calls from and laps up her praise and worship.”
“Sign up for the military, Laura! Go to the front lines, Laura! Maybe then they’ll give you a gun. You don’t love Trump enough unless you go fight Iran yourself.”
View on Threads
Greene’s takedown didn’t come out of nowhere. Last fall, Loomer had gone on the offensive herself, unloading on Greene after she appeared on Capitol Hill pushing for the release of the Epstein files.
At the time, Loomer torched her on X.
“MTG is a FRAUD, and a phony, two faced b—- who used Trump to advance her career,” Loomer wrote in one post on X. In another, she declared: “I’ve been telling everyone for years that @RepMTG is a Trump hater.”
When Greene fired back this week, it felt like payback and it drew applause from corners of the internet that rarely side with her.
“I’ll never stop commenting on how I hate agreeing with MGT, but she’s [on point],” one user wrote.
Another added, “Look, I don’t like you, I have never liked you. I don’t give a f–k about you, but I am 1000% here to watch you destroy that thirsty F****ng hack. I am all the f–k for that.”
Others mocked their cat fight, “The girls are fightingggggg,” said another user.
“Loomer, meet your match,” one user mocked, while others kept it simple: “Dayum!”
But Greene’s attempt to paint Loomer as the architect of a “stupid, pointless foreign war” quickly met resistance online.
Critics resurfaced Greene’s own hawkish support for Trump’s unilateral military moves in Iran. In a post from January 5, 2020, she wrote, “Lies. Not a war crime for @POTUS to protect the US home and abroad. Who does AOC represent? USA or Iran? @realDonaldTrump is warning Iran for threatening to kill Americans after we defensively took out their head killer terrorist for attacking our embassy.”

Another said bluntly on Threads, “MTG and was COMPLICIT while in Congress, She helped get us here.”
The extraordinary broadside came as Trump confirmed U.S. soldiers had been killed following the strikes against Iran. Trump then issued a public warning, saying, “The lives of courageous American heroes may be lost, and we may have casualties,” adding, “That often happens in war.”
Meanwhile, Greene, who has positioned herself as a leading voice against deeper U.S. involvement in the Middle East, framed the escalation as betrayal. She also took aim at Loomer’s proximity to Trump, claiming the president takes “late night calls” from her — reviving long-running whispers inside Republican circles that the activist wields outsized influence behind the scenes.

Loomer has cultivated that image. She has described her relationship to Trump in blunt terms: “My point of access to the White House is Donald Trump.”
According to the New York Times, she has also made clear where her priorities lie. “President Trump comes first,” she says she has told her boyfriend, “and if you can’t handle that, then go find somebody else.” And when critics question her influence, she answers just as directly: “On a daily basis, I communicate with the most powerful and wealthiest people in the world.”
Trump has publicly praised her. “Laura Loomer is a great patriot. She’s a very strong person,” he said after a White House meeting last year.
