Trump Aide Dragged For Bonkers Claim About Trump's Support For 'A Free Press'

Donald Trump's choice for Press Secretary, spokesperson Karoline Leavitt, got an earful online after hilariously claiming Trump supports a "free and fair press."

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.”

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.

Tim Walz Has Epic Clapback After Nancy Mace Asks Him To Define 'Woman' During Congressional Hearing

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz had a splendid response after South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace attempted to claim that his support for transgender women would bar him from recognizing fraud in his state.

Walz's appearance at the hearing comes amid conservative claims—offered with little supporting evidence—that Somali-run childcare centers in Minnesota improperly received public funds intended to support childcare for low-income families. Subsequently, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the FBI expanded their presence in Minnesota as federal authorities froze childcare funding statewide.

Elmo Just Asked His Followers 'Where Have You Been?'—And Zohran Mamdani Had The Purest Response

Elmo, the furry red childlike monster from Sesame Street designed by Caroly Wilcox, began his life as a generic "baby monster" background filler in the 1979-1980 season of the long-running children's television program.

Originally having a gruff voice supplied by various puppeteers, Elmo found his falsetto-voiced, loving persona when Kevin Clash took over in 1985. Elmo was transformed into a three-and-a-half-year-old character designed to connect with the show's audience of preschoolers.
