Looks like Laura Loomer still has the President’s ear.
Donald Trump has issued his latest challenge to test corporate America’s fealty to his administration. On Friday, the President decided to wade into the personnel decision of Microsoft and called for the company to fire its President of Global Affairs, Lisa Monaco, over her previous work under the Obama and Biden administrations—a warning shot fired apparently at the advice of far-right activist Laura Loomer.
Trump called Monaco, who previously served as the deputy attorney general during the Biden administration and Homeland Security Advisor to President Obama, “Corrupt and Totally Trump Deranged,” He also claimed that because of her ties to the previous administrations, she is “a menace to U.S. National Security, especially given the major contracts that Microsoft has with the United States Government”—a statement that likely doesn’t not read like a threat to review and potentially revoke lucrative federal procurements that Microsft has landed.
