Right-wingers lying and spouting face-palming sound bytes continue to increase even before President-elect Donald Trump moves into the White House in January, reinforcing the mayhem to come full speed ahead in 2025.
The latest MAGA cheerleader is Karoline Leavitt, who was Trump's national press secretary for his 2024 presidential campaign. She will be the youngest White House press secretary in US history when Trump returns for his second non-consecutive term in the Oval Office.
On Tuesday's Fox News, the 27-year-old made the following laughable claim about Trump:
“There is no greater advocate for a free and fair press than Donald Trump."
She added:
“During his first term as the president, he was the most transparent president in American history. That continued on the campaign trail.”

People got whiplash from the fastest double-take ever.
I snorted. I don’t know how those in the press corps kept it together during the first term.

The press should all laugh in her face.

If you say it, they'll repeat it and believe it. It's insane.

I truly despise that this vapid airhead is from our state. There is literally nothing happening behind those eyes. She’s a Reich-wing Stepford freakshow.

Nobody working with Trump has a independent thought.

I foresee a strong 3-4 months out of the gate until she’s inevitably replaced

Eight years ago she was still in high school. What the hell happened in that time to become a MAGAt?

Trump's historically negative and threatening remarks aimed at the press contradict Leavitt's gold star proclamation of her boss.
Trump often invokes a phrase popularized by dictators like Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin to call journalists, the “enemy of the people.”
Two days before election day, Trump ranted at a rally about his perpetual grievance over the media reporting on unfounded claims of a stolen 2020 election and he theorized that a gunman “would have to shoot through the fake news" to get to him, adding he wouldn't "mind that so much."
He also sued CBS News for $10 billion. The lawsuit alleged the network deceptively edited their interview with Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris in a way that would mislead the public and "attempt to tip the scales” in favor of the Democratic candidate in the 2024 election.
Trump also threatened to revoke the broadcast license of CBS News and other networks for airing news critical of him and his administration.
During the 2016 election, Trump became the least transparent presidential candidate in modern history.
Unlike previous U.S. presidents and presidential candidates, Trump has yet to provide his tax returns for public review.
