'Greatest President ever approves': Laura Loomer drops engagement ring photo after Trump steals her big announcement

Far-right political activist and MAGA influencer Laura Loomer set social media buzzing this week after sharing a photo of her engagement ring on X (formerly Twitter) while deliberately keeping her fiancé’s face out of view. The post came shortly after an unexpected and very public reveal by President Donald Trump himself at the White House Christmas Party, turning what might have been a private milestone into a viral political-culture moment.Loomer confirmed the engagement with a celebratory tweet that quickly gained traction online, blending personal joy with political loyalty, a hallmark of her public persona.“It was an honor to be recognized by President Trump at the White House Christmas Party,” Loomer tweeted. “It is an even bigger honor that the President of the United States @POTUS just scooped me on publicly announcing my own engagement to the world from the White House! 💍(sic).”She went on to add, “I’m very excited to be getting married, and I am thrilled that the greatest President ever approves of the greatest man in my life. ❤️ Thank you, President Trump! (sic)”

A ring reveal but not the man

While the diamond ring took center stage in Loomer’s post, her fiancé remained conspicuously absent. The beach photo with a kissing emoji sticker on her partner's face showcased the ring prominently, fuelling curiosity and speculation while reinforcing Loomer’s decision to keep her partner’s identity private, at least for now.

The contrast was striking where a very public endorsement from the president, paired with a carefully controlled personal reveal. In an era where political figures often monetise every aspect of their private lives, Loomer’s choice to withhold her fiancé’s face added an extra layer of intrigue to the announcement.

Trump’s off-script moment goes viral

The engagement first entered the public domain not through Loomer’s account but via Trump’s off-the-cuff remarks during the White House Christmas Party, an event already rich with political symbolism and media attention.

The president’s spontaneous acknowledgment effectively scooped Loomer’s own announcement, a detail she embraced rather than resisted.In a surprising twist at the White House Christmas party on December 15, 2025, Trump inadvertently announced the engagement of Loomer, thrusting the controversial influencer back into the national spotlight. Known for her provocative politics and polarising social media presence, Loomer confirmed the engagement on her own platform shortly after the president’s remarks, delighting supporters and igniting fresh debate across the political spectrum.The unexpected reveal occurred just as Trump was wrapping up remarks at the festive event where he also announced the engagement of his eldest son, Donald Trump Jr, to socialite Bettina Anderson. The dual announcements turned an already politically charged gathering into a viral media moment that drew attention from conservative and mainstream outlets alike.Instead of expressing irritation, Loomer leaned into the moment, framing it as a badge of honour and as further evidence of her proximity to Trump’s inner political and social orbit.
