"Speaking with reporters aboard Air Force One late Monday, the president randomly pivoted from a question about whether Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan could help bring an end to the war between Russia and Ukraine to banter with the White House press corps about the performance of his press secretary. How's Karoline doing? Trump asked. Is she doing good? Then, Trump clearly in jest floated the prospect of ousting Leavitt."
"Should Karoline be replaced? Trump asked. That's up to you, sir, Politico's Dasha Burns replied. Trump shook his head and smiled. It'll never happen, he said. Leavitt jokingly chided the reporters for not having her back. Nobody wants to stick up for me? Leavitt said. Great job, replied Town Hall editor and Fox News contributor Katie Pavlich. And Trump made it clear where his sentiments lie with a fawning compliment to his chief spokesperson."
President Donald Trump publicly praised his press secretary Karoline Leavitt while returning to the U.S. after a summit in Egypt. He pivoted from a question about Erdogan's role in ending the Russia-Ukraine war to ask reporters about Leavitt's performance and jokingly raised the prospect of ousting her before dismissing that idea. Reporters responded with light banter: Politico's Dasha Burns said replacement decisions were up to the president, and others like Katie Pavlich praised Leavitt. Leavitt playfully chided reporters for not defending her, and Trump complimented her face and lips with a fawning remark.
