Karoline Leavitt, the youngest White House press secretary in US history, came out swinging and highlighted Trump’s accomplishments after only one week in office.

Karoline Leavitt: Good afternoon, everybody. How are we? Good to see all of you. It’s an honor to be here with all of you. A lot of familiar faces in the room, a lot of new faces, and President Trump is back and the golden age of America has most definitely begun. The Senate has already confirmed five of President Trump’s exceptional cabinet nominees. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

On day one, President Trump declared a national emergency at our southern border to end the four-year-long invasion of illegal aliens under the previous administration. Additionally, President Trump signed an executive order to end catch and release and finished construction of his effective border wall. By using every lever of his federal power, President Trump has sent a loud and clear message to the entire world. America will no longer tolerate illegal immigration, and this President expects that every nation on this planet will cooperate with the repatriation of their citizens. As proven by this weekend, when President Trump swiftly directed his team to issue harsh and effective sanctions and tariffs on the Colombian government, Upon hearing they were denied a U.S. military aircraft full of their own citizens who were deported by this administration within hours, the Colombian government agreed to all of President Trump’s demands, proving America is once again respected on the world stage. So to foreign nationals who are thinking about trying to illegally enter the United States. Think again. Under this president, you will be detained and you will be deported every day, Americans are safer because of the violent criminals that President Trump’s administration is removing from our communities.

What an awesome White House Spokesperson!

[laplata]

I saw some of it and I think she did well.

[JusPasenThru]

It’s a shame Acosta retired. He would look like an axe murderer if he pulled that grandstanding crap on her.

[DIRTYSECRET]

No JD moment in this article. I’ll have to go lookin’.

[FlingWingFlyer]

The youngest and best ever!

[MNnice]

And she broke the story about the NJ drones. Telling us they were approved by the FAA and were not the enemy. She also exposed the lies told by Biden and company who never told us the truth about them.

[JaguarXKE]

Notice she didn’t have a huge binder like her predecessor? She had a good command of all Trumps policies and EOs so was able to fire off clear, concise answers to every question.

During the question period, have them hold their hand up as when they were in elementary school and the Press Secretary, the president, or president’s speaker will choose who can ask a question...After the answer, no follow-up questions...

If anyone interrupts, they are to be escorted from the room...

Pretty young blonde. Don’t we have enough of them? Tyrus would have been better-at least for a week. Then there’s not-so-young blonde Katie Holmes-a Brit.

This is the time when we should have some fun with the left but then what do I know?

[irishjuggler]

“Pretty young blonde. Don’t we have enough of them?”

No, we don’t. And she’s cute as a bug. Another great pick by DJT.

[JBW1949]

Not only “cute as a bug”, but very smart...She used no notes and never once did she seem to view anything...Just gave intelligent answers and comments...

[laplata]

It’s a shame Acosta retired. He would look like an axe murderer if he pulled that grandstanding crap on her.

><

For sure. Good point.

Alex Jones
Rosanne Barr

A rotating case of special guest press secretaries.

[RetiredTexasVet]

She is so much more pleasant on the eyes and exudes confidence and intelligence. Hope KJP and Lemon are doing well in their new positions as fence posts in rural Kansas.

[ridesthemiles]

IIRC-—SHE WORKED THE ENTIRE CAMPAIGN WITH TRUMP HOLDING THE PRESS AT BAY.

[mozarky2]

I’d bet Jim Accoster resigned solely for the reason that he wouldn’t have to face Leavitt!

[rollo tomasi]

Leavitt did a great job in her first public outing. Great things ahead for her as the experience grows and she certainly has the moxie along with the will to turn the tables on these corporate media drones.
