Following the Supreme Court’s refusal to expedite former President Donald Trump’s appeal on presidential immunity, some of his allies, including independent journalist Laura Loomer, have speculated about potential dangers ahead. Loomer took to social media to propose a conspiracy theory suggesting that the Supreme Court decision might be a prelude to an attempt on Trump’s life. The Supreme Court rejected Special Counsel Jack Smith’s request to fast-track the review of whether Trump is immune from prosecution for alleged efforts to subvert the 2020 election.
While Trump celebrated the decision as a victory on Truth Social, Loomer claimed that it was a blow to the Deep State and warned, “The Deep State is going to try to kill Donald Trump. He must be protected at all costs.” Former national security adviser Mike Flynn echoed similar sentiments, emphasizing that the “deep state” should be cautious.
Responses to Loomer’s posts were mixed, with some expressing concern for Trump’s safety and others asserting that God is protecting him. The article also highlighted social media feuds between former Trump attorney Jenna Ellis and ex-Trump official Jeff Clark, as well as warnings from Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson about the ongoing threat posed by Trump.
These events underscore the complex dynamics surrounding Trump’s legal battles, political influence, and the concerns about his safety among some allies.
