Trump fires advisors—six of them—after a fiery Oval Office meeting with far-right activist Laura Loomer. The dramatic moment unfolded on Wednesday and sent shockwaves through Washington.
Loomer stormed into the White House with printed documents. They detailed accusations against members of the National Security Council. She didn’t hold back. One by one, she attacked their loyalty to Donald Trump in front of top officials.
President Trump listened as Loomer named names and demanded action. Minutes later, heads began to roll.
Loomer Takes Control in Trump’s Inner Circle
Loomer isn’t new to controversy. A 9/11 conspiracy theorist with a long history of incendiary remarks, she still managed to seize the moment.
According to insiders, she confronted National Security Adviser Michael Waltz directly. However, he wasn’t fired. Instead, she focused on six lower-level officials she viewed as disloyal.
Although Trump didn’t act on all her suggestions, the result was clear. The firings happened within hours.
Security Council Staff Caught Off Guard
The six NSC officials fired on Trump’s orders weren’t expecting it. Many had survived past purges. Yet this time, they couldn’t avoid Loomer’s hit list.
Other NSC staff were quietly reassigned to different agencies over the weekend. Sources say Trump approved the moves after reviewing Loomer’s claims.
Despite not being among the fired, Deputy National Security Adviser Alex Wong was one of her prime targets.
Waltz’s Position Now Looks Fragile
While Trump didn’t fire Waltz, his hold on the job is uncertain. In private talks, Trump has told aides he’s unhappy with him. Still, the former president fears the bad optics of another high-profile dismissal.
Waltz has already drawn criticism for accidentally inviting a journalist into a secret Signal chat. The chat included details of possible military operations.
Even with that blunder, Trump held back. He reportedly said firing Waltz now would be a gift to the media.
Meeting Turns Into a Political Circus
The meeting wasn’t supposed to go that far. Trump had a packed schedule. Yet things quickly spiraled.
Representative Scott Perry, a longtime Trump loyalist, was also supposed to meet with the former president. Instead, his meeting overlapped with Loomer’s.
Perry had his own staff concerns and joined the chaos. That only added fuel to the fire.
Trump Surrounded by Right-Wing Voices
Besides Loomer and Perry, others joined the Oval Office showdown. Among them were Vice President JD Vance, Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.
Each had different reasons to be there. But the focus quickly turned to loyalty and control over the NSC.
Trump, seated behind the Resolute Desk, gave the orders after listening to Loomer’s blistering critique.
Personnel Office Faces Heat Over Vetting
Sergio Gor, head of the personnel office, was also in the room. His department had approved many of the fired staffers.
That raised questions. If Trump’s own vetting system cleared these officials, why did they become targets later?
Some inside the White House now say the personnel office allowed loyalty concerns to fester. Others believe it’s part of a broader plan to purge anyone not fully aligned with Trump’s worldview.
Waltz Survives—for Now
Even though Trump didn’t fire him, Waltz is still walking a tightrope. He leads a department filled with fear and uncertainty.
Sources say Trump sees Waltz as a problem. However, the political cost of firing him might be too high—for now.
Still, no one expects him to stay long. The decision appears delayed, not canceled.
Loomer’s Power Keeps Growing
Laura Loomer has become a surprise power player. Even many in Trump’s orbit didn’t expect her to influence policy this directly.
Despite her controversial past, she now sits at the table—literally. During the Oval Office meeting, she sat directly across from Trump. She handed him papers. He took her seriously.
Not everyone is thrilled about her rise. Some Trump allies have warned that Loomer’s influence could backfire.
Trump Fires Advisors In Loyalty Purge
As the dust settles, one thing is clear—Trump fires advisors when loyalty is in question. That hasn’t changed since his first term.
Sources close to Trump say more firings may come. The former president is determined to surround himself with what he calls “true believers.”
In this White House, even a small rumor can cost you your job.
Fallout Hits National Security Council
The NSC now operates in survival mode. Staffers don’t know who’s next. Some say the latest purge feels random. Others believe it’s calculated.
What’s clear is that the Trump team is shifting. New voices are rising, while seasoned officials are shown the door.
Whether that leads to strength or chaos remains to be seen.
