Trump's New Press Secretary Goes Full North Korea With Hilariously Fawning Rant On Fox News

New White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt took her hyperbole to the max while praising President Trump on Fox News with an over the top claim about Trump's first day.

Make us preferred on Google

The second Trump Administration is off and running, and the whole dictatorship vibe? Well, they're not really making any bones about it.

Including new White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, who went on TV and went on a ludicrous and embarrassing diatribe about Donald Trump that felt like something right out of North Korea.


Leavitt took to state television—er, sorry, Fox News—to make several overwrought claims about the new president.

She told Fox:

"We have truth on our side at this White House.”

Does that include Trump seemingly admitting onstage at his January 19 rally that Elon Musk "rigged" the election for him, or...?

She then went on to say:

“This man is already doing more in less than 24 hours than his predecessor did in four years."

Another stretch, since most of what he's "done" so far have been executive orders that are full-on unconstitutional like his attempt to end birthright citizenship, which many legal scholars say even our current far-right Supreme Court is unlikely to allow.

She then went on to tout Trump's announced infrastructure package, which gives multiple billions of dollars to private corporations to further develop AI rather than, you know, fixing bridges or whatever.

Leavitt's rhetoric surely pleased Trump's legion of fans, but she left many on social media less than convinced, especially because it felt oddly familiar.

Propaganda so blatant it would make the dictator of North Korea blush.

Here's the extremely professional Leavitt saying something as absurd as anything Spicer ever said, about Trump doing more in one day for infrastructure than 4 years of Biden: bsky.app/profile/atru...

This feels like manufactured dystopian state TV. I’m already so f-ing exhausted. I think I’m ready for the meteor or sudden death from the inevitable climatic event that’s coming.

Hey, they've taken the North Korean media class. Impressive.

Just replace every interview with this. It's easier and saves time.

The Oscar winner may have spent decades charming moviegoers, but apparently none of that star power works on his three kids—especially when Dad starts handing out relationship advice. Affleck shared that lesson during a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, where he revealed how his kids keep him humble while promoting his new film, Animals.

MTG Rips GOP With Blunt Theory After Suspicious Migrant Caravan Spotted Heading Toward The U.S.

Responding to a report about a migrant caravan of more than 600 people from Honduras traveling through Mexico toward the U.S. border, former Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene accused Republicans of orchestrating a crisis for political convenience.

The episode echoes a similar political controversy from 2018, when a much larger migrant caravan became a major issue in U.S. politics and was seized upon by the far-right. President Donald Trump, then in his first term, seized on the caravan ahead of that year’s midterm elections, describing the migrants’ arrival as an “invasion.”
