Trump’s bombshell accusation against Karoline Leavitt confirms rumors
At a recent Oval Office press briefing, Donald Trump used his typical confrontational style toward the media, but briefly turned his attention to his own press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, with a joking remark.
Speaking to reporters, Trump argued that the vast majority of coverage about him is negative, claiming figures as high as 93 to 97 percent. Although he didn’t provide evidence, the claim reinforced his long-standing criticism of media bias.
While making this point, he shifted toward Leavitt and quipped that she might not be doing a good job, even saying, “You’re doing a terrible job,” in a sarcastic tone.
The remark stood out for its bluntness, but it quickly became clear it wasn’t serious. Trump softened the moment by joking about whether she should stay in her role, answering himself that she would remain.
This kind of humor mixed with criticism is common in Trump’s communication style. Supporters may view it as candid or playful, while critics often see it as unprofessional or distracting.
Afterward, Trump returned to criticizing the media, calling outlets biased and even suggesting they act in favor of political opponents, a theme he has repeated for years.
He also hinted that broadcasters could face consequences due to licensing, raising concerns about press freedom. Overall, the exchange seemed more about tone and messaging than any real internal disagreement.
