The White House press room is buzzing as President Trump’s new press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, takes charge. At just 27 years old, she’s the youngest person ever in the job. Leavitt isn’t afraid to call out the mainstream media for spreading what she calls “fake news” about President Trump. Her fiery briefings have become must-watch TV for conservatives tired of biased reporting.
Leavitt recently announced big changes to who gets access to the White House. Legacy media outlets like the Associated Press and Reuters are being replaced by conservative voices like Newsmax and Blaze TV. She says it’s time the press pool “reflects what real Americans actually watch.” Critics claim this silences honest journalism, but supporters cheer it as a long-overdue fix to media bias.
This week, Leavitt doubled down on Trump’s America First policies. She defended mass deportations of illegal immigrants, even as liberal judges try to block them. “The law is clear,” she said, adding that Trump won’t back down from securing the border. Over 800 Venezuelans were sent home this weekend, showing the administration means business.
Trade is another battlefield. Leavitt confirmed Trump’s plan to slap new tariffs on Chinese goods and bring back American manufacturing jobs. “Other countries have been ripping us off for decades,” she said. The tough talk on trade has Democrats scrambling, but working-class voters love seeing a leader fight for their paychecks.
Peace talks with Russia over Ukraine dominated questions today. Leavitt praised Trump’s “strong diplomacy” with Putin to end the war. She slammed Biden’s handling of the conflict, saying Trump’s deal-making skills will save lives. “Why wouldn’t we want peace?” she asked, brushing off claims that negotiating rewards Russian aggression.
Leavitt is skipping April’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner, breaking with tradition. She called the event a “circle of elites” that mocks conservatives. Comedian Amber Ruffin, who’s hosting, has openly trashed Trump. Leavitt won’t give the media “a free shot at the president” and says real journalists should focus on facts, not jokes.
Legal fights are heating up. A judge questioned if Trump’s team ignored court orders during deportations. Leavitt fired back, vowing to win in court and keep removing “criminal aliens.” She reminded reporters that Trump’s policies are about safety, not politics. “Americans deserve protection,” she said, pointing to the Laken Riley Act targeting immigrant crime.
With her sharp comebacks and bold plans, Leavitt has become a conservative star. She’s reshaping how the White House talks to the public, favoring grassroots media over coastal newsrooms. Love her or hate her, Leavitt’s making it clear: the Trump era is back, and the rules have changed.
