Filed · 3 publisher pages · upstream origin unresolved

Trump adviser Alex Bruesewitz accused Laura Loomer of undermining Trump after she defended Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during a July interview. Bruesewitz called Zelensky 'weak' and accused him of bombing oil refineries moments after Trump announced a deal with Russia.

Loomer, a Trump supporter, claimed Zelensky expressed support for Trump and wanted to end the war through a deal. She wrote that Zelensky 'had nothing but praise for President Trump' and was eager to sign a deal to end the war. Bruesewitz responded by accusing Loomer of defending Zelensky while he undermined Trump.

Bruesewitz accused Loomer of 'undermining Trump and hurting the American people' and urged her to stop communicating with Zelensky. The feud highlights tensions between Trump's administration and Zelensky over the Russian diesel deal and its implications for Ukraine's sovereignty.

The disagreement underscores the complex relationship between Trump's advisors and Zelensky, with Bruesewitz and Loomer representing opposing views on how to handle the situation. The conflict reflects broader tensions within the Trump camp over the handling of the Russian diesel deal and its impact on Ukraine.
