As the 2026 midterms approach, the MAGA “Big Tent” is on fire—and the arsonists are two of its most feared insiders. Roger Stone, the legendary dark-arts operator, and Laura Loomer, the unfiltered firebrand, have turned a once-united front into a digital cage match. What started as policy friction has exploded into accusations of mental instability, foreign-agent payoffs, 2028 kingmaking, and who gets Trump’s ear.

Below are the key claims in point-counterpoint style.

1. Mental Stability: Baker Act Bombshell or Defamatory Smear?

Stone’s Point: Loomer is a “crazed psychopath” and “certified nut job” whose behavior is deteriorating so fast that a third Baker Act detention is imminent. Florida’s involuntary-commitment law has already been used on her twice, Stone insists, and her inability to obtain a concealed-carry permit is ironclad proof of prior institutionalization. “You can always tell when Laura is lying,” he posted. “Her lips are moving.” Stone frames this as protective realism: an unstable voice cannot be trusted on national security or Trump’s inner circle.

Loomer’s Counterpoint: Pure character assassination. She has never been adjudicated or committed under the Baker Act; any prior evaluation was voluntary or never reached the legal threshold for commitment. She legally purchased a firearm after passing a federal background check—directly disproving any “mental defective” prohibition under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(4). Her legal team has already contacted X to demand removal of the defamatory posts. Loomer calls the attack a desperate attempt to invalidate every “receipt” she produces by labeling her mentally ill before she even speaks.

2. Foreign Policy: America First Isolationism vs. Maximum Pressure on Iran

Stone’s Point: Loomer has abandoned true MAGA isolationism for neoconservative warmongering. She is pushing military escalation against Iran that risks World War III on behalf of foreign interests. Stone, Tulsi Gabbard, Tucker Carlson, and the “Old Guard” stand for Reagan-style “Peace Through Strength” and staying out of endless Middle East entanglements. He brands Loomer’s faction the real saboteurs of “America First.”

Loomer’s Counterpoint: Stone and his allies are the “Woke Reich”—apologists who whitewash radical Islam and flirt with 25th Amendment talk whenever Trump takes a hard line. Loomer’s stance is unapologetically pro-Israel and pro-national security: maximum pressure on Iran is not neoconservatism, it’s survival. She accuses the Stone-Gabbard-Carlson wing of turning “America First” into “America Last” by coddling adversaries and undermining Trump’s toughest decisions.

3. Financial Allegations: Paid Operative or Ideological Warrior?

Stone’s Point: Loomer is a “whore for money” and a “paid stooge for Israel.” Her hawkishness is not organic; it is bought and paid for by the Israeli lobby and wealthy Jewish donors who bypass FARA disclosure. Stone claims her attacks are scripted by Benjamin Netanyahu himself. He also drags in Steve Bannon’s past legal troubles to smear anyone associated with Loomer.

Loomer’s Counterpoint: Stone is the actual foreign agent. She has produced what she calls FARA receipts showing his lobbying work for Somalia on behalf of Muslim interests. His defense—that his Nigeria contract is a U.S.-backed effort to protect Christians—does not erase the pattern, she says. Loomer fires back that Stone’s sudden “Jew basher” rhetoric proves he has turned on former allies and is now willing to traffic in antisemitic tropes to protect his own turf.

4. The Gabbard Resignation Hoax & the 2028 Shadow Campaign

Stone’s Point: Between March 19 and March 30, 2026, Loomer tried to “stampede” Trump into firing Tulsi Gabbard by spreading a fabricated rumor that she was about to resign. Stone personally exposed the “dirty trick.” He further accuses Loomer of planting salacious rumors of a sexual relationship with Trump as a publicity stunt that left the former President “revolted.” Stone denies grooming Gabbard for 2028 and says he will back JD Vance instead.

Loomer’s Counterpoint: Stone’s ferocious defense of Gabbard is self-serving: he admitted in a private dinner a year ago that he plans to run her 2028 presidential campaign. The “hoax” claim is cover for protecting his future payday. Gabbard only stayed on to avoid bad optics before the midterms, Loomer insists. Stone’s intervention was not loyalty to Trump—it was loyalty to his own long-game power play.

The Bottom Line: Purification or Self-Immolation?

Stone’s closing argument: Loomer’s instability, foreign loyalties, and dirty tricks make her a cancer that must be excised before the midterms. He has already threatened to unleash his 8-million-user email list to “politically destroy” her.

Loomer’s closing argument: Stone has devolved into a compulsive liar and “Jew basher” who is willing to burn the movement to protect his own influence and future clients. The real betrayal is anyone who puts personal grudges or foreign money above Trump’s agenda.

The MAGA movement now faces a brutal question: Is this bloodbath the messy but necessary way a serious political force settles its deepest ideological differences—or is it simply two master manipulators torching the tent while the Democrats watch and laugh?

Finally, if you’re not sure who is right, consider this:

1. Why does Stone need to lie about Loomer?

2. Why would Stone undermine POTUS by suggesting he doesn’t think for himself?

3. Why did POTUS fire Stone, but trusts Loomer?

4. Want to wait until Iran’s missiles can hit the USA?

Either way, the 2026 midterms will render the verdict.
