American far-right activist and blogger Laura Loomer, a supporter of U.S. President Donald Trump, said she wants to become White House press secretary. She wrote this on the social network X following reports that Katie Zacharia had been dismissed after serving in the position for five days, UNN reports.

In her post on X, the far-right activist proposed her own candidacy for the position of spokesperson for the Trump administration.
"Listen to me: spokesperson Laura Loomer," the blogger wrote.
Later, Loomer published another post in which she said she would do well in precisely this job.
"I would make an excellent press secretary. I would provide President Trump with all the evidence. I would bring a folder full of evidence to every briefing," Loomer wrote.
The statement came amid a report by The New York Times that President Trump's new press secretary, Katie Zacharia, was forced to leave her position on Friday, October 16, after five days on the job, a rare turn of events for the White House.
According to the publication, Zacharia, who attracted Trump's attention as a conservative commentator, began her first and only press conference hesitantly on Tuesday. She mostly read from a text and ended the session with questions after only five and a half minutes. This was followed by a barrage of headlines questioning whether she had misrepresented herself as a lawyer—the U.S. president called her an "attorney"—despite the fact that she had not passed the relevant exam.
