Laura Loomer offered herself for the job of Trump’s press secretary—and joked about blonde hair.

Laura Loomer publicly pitched herself for the newly open White House press secretary role. Her joke about going blonde has added a twist to the search for Trump’s next spokesperson.

 

After Katie Zacharia was dismissed as White House press secretary, far-right activist Laura Loomer publicly put herself forward for the job. Her jokes about changing her appearance coincided with the launch of new prediction markets on who will be the next spokesperson for Donald Trump’s administration.

What Loomer proposed

On October 16, Laura Loomer wrote on X: “Hear me out: Press Secretary Laura Loomer”  – suggesting that she be considered for the press secretary position. This was a public pitch, not an announcement of an official appointment or participation in a formal selection process.

In another post, Loomer joked about whether she would stand a chance if she dyed her hair blonde and changed her name to “Cora.” The joke alludes to the appearance of Trump’s last three press secretaries – Kayleigh McEnany, Karoline Leavitt, and Katie Zacharia.

 

 

Photo: Laura Loomer posted an edited image on X showing herself with light-colored hair and the words “I’m ready.” Source: Laura Loomer / X.

The post features a stylized image of Loomer with light-colored hair. However, the original media file on X could not be independently viewed and compared with the source image. So it has not been established whether it was edited with retouching, a filter, or generative AI.

The joke is clear even without identifying how the image was made: Loomer is poking fun at the supposed informal “dress code” of Trump’s communications team while drawing attention to her own candidacy.

Laura Loomer is an opportunist and she is disgusting

There is nothing inherently wrong with blonde haired women any more than black skin

It is when they use it, the way zecharia does, that is a problem

“ Neither blond nor pretty.”

Kaleigh and Karoline did a good job.

Zechariah is a major flirt. Can people be logical about this? No.

“Why does the most accessible President even need a press secretary?”

He doesn’t. He just told us this

You have to wonder who sent her in there

She wouldn’t do it, but I think Laura Ingraham would be excellent.

Blonde, too! (lol)

I vote for Paula White, his blonde White House faith advisor. She would be a great press secretary.If she gets confused, she can just start talking in tongues.
