The Wall Street Journal editorial board took aim on Saturday at Donald Trump for rubbing elbows with right-wing provocateur Laura Loomer.

For those who don’t know, the WSJ (a Murdoch paper) opinion section is notoriously conservative, so this is pretty significant.

I would post a link to it directly, but none of the paywall bypass options worked for me, so there wouldn’t be much point.

    “All of this would be ignorable, except that others close to Mr. Trump say he is listening to Ms. Loomer’s advice,” the editors wrote. “People in the Trump campaign are trying to get her out of the former President’s entourage, to no avail. Even Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene thinks Ms. Loomer is damaging the former President’s election chances.”

    Keep it up! Let her feed his ego and make him over-confident and spewing insanity that regular people can’t understand because they aren’t terminally-online.

    She’s boning him, or wants to be.

    Swamp creature vibes.
