President Donald Trump Points Fingers at Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt for His ‘Bad Publicity’
President Donald Trump is not happy about the bad press he’s been receiving, and he seems to blame one person: Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.
During an Oval Office press briefing while signing an executive order on Tuesday, March 31, Trump, 79, pointed fingers at the 28-year-old.
“People don’t believe the media,” the former Apprentice star said. “I got 93 percent bad publicity. Some people say 97, but between 93 and 97. A person that gets 97 percent of bad stories—Maybe Karoline’s doing a poor job.”
He turned his attention toward Leavitt, “You’re doing a terrible job. Should we keep her? I think we’ll keep her. But I get 93 to 97 percent bad press. Fake press. All fake.”
While the president’s comments were made in jest, he went on to claim he won the 2024 election “in a landslide.”
“I won the popular vote. I won the electoral college in a massive number, right?” he continued in his rant. “Massive. I won the counties. 86 percent of the counties. I won. All of these different things.”
Meanwhile, Leavitt is preparing to begin her maternity leave as she and husband Nicholas Riccio, 60, are expecting their second child together.
