United States President Donald Trump praised White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt calling her the best secretary anybody ever had, along with some unusual compliments.
During an interview with Newsmax, Trump offered unusually personal compliments in response to Leavitt’s claim that he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for brokering multiple ceasefires since returning to office.
“She’s become a star. It’s that face. It’s that brain. It’s those lips, the way they move. They move like she’s a machine gun,” Trump said. “She’s a great person, actually. But she’s – I don’t think anybody has ever had a better press secretary than Karoline. She’s been amazing.
Leavitt, 27, is Trump’s fifth press secretary and the first of his second term. During a White House press briefing the day prior, she praised Trump’s international efforts, calling for a Nobel Peace Prize for him, claiming he had “brokered, on average, about one peace deal or ceasefire per month” since taking office six months ago.
However, netizens did not find Trump’s comments very pleasing. His remarks have sparked swift reaction across social media, with many users describing his language as “uncomfortable,” “cringey,” and “unprofessional.”
“This definitely sounds like something Jeffrey Epstein’s best friend would say,” one social media used said, referencing long-standing controversy over Trump’s past social ties to the late financier.
Others questioned the double standard in professional conduct, with one user writing: “If any man said this on the job about a fellow employee, they’d be fired instantly, and the company sued.”
Critics also called out the lack of media accountability. “Will ANYONE in the MSM ask him or the White House about this incredibly bizarre, creepy, cringey comment? Of course not,” one post read.
