The Daily Beast reports on Trump’s and some MAGA thought leaders cooling on Russia and Putin and warming to Ukraine and Zelenksyy. Excerpt:
Trump has since cooled on Putin and appears to be embracing Ukraine and Zelensky. So too does Loomer, despite her previous position as one of MAGA’s most critical anti-Ukraine voices. Her opposition boiled down to an America-first stance, where she favored not supporting Zelensky’s regime militarily due to the cost Americans would ultimately incur.
But this month, Loomer traveled to Ukraine, where she experienced an air raid, toured sites damaged by Russian attacks, visited the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra monastery, and, of course, met Zelensky. She has now changed her tone, even rattling off friendly tweets about the leader she once called “a Jihadi apologist,” who leads a country “full of Nazi apologists.”
She is now looking inwards, seeking “moral clarity.”

Her change in tone appears to be down to apparent Russian support for Iran in its war with the U.S. “I don’t care about what the media says about me or anyone’s opinion about why I came to Ukraine. I am deeply disturbed as an American citizen about how many Americans minds have been warped to support Russia’s third world slop that pushes communism and a multipolar world where Xi, the Ayatollah and Putin are our masters,” she wrote on X on Thursday.
“I hope the DOJ in the US starts cracking down on Americans who participate in Russia and Iran’s networks of disinformation and influence peddling.”
Another surprising flip-flop came from her fellow conservative influencer, Tim Pool. “Ukraine has been fighting for their very existence against an evil dictator,” he posted on X on Thursday evening.
“I see now the importance of the Ukrainian victory against Russia. I hope Trump and the people of the United States will lend their support.”
Slava Ukraine!
