Eight weeks into Donald Trump’s second term, one thing stands out like a beacon in the fog: Karoline Leavitt is not just doing her job as press secretary; she’s absolutely turning heads while the mainstream media feasts on their hatred of her. In the world of political press secretaries, she’s not just in a league of her own—she’s put the rest on the proverbial bench where they belong.
Karoline Leavitt is a breath of fresh air compared to the likes of Sean Spicer. Now, one might call Spicer a good soldier, but let’s be real—he doesn’t hold a candle to Leavitt’s charisma and wit. It’s like comparing a little league game to the World Series. Sure, Kayleigh McEnany threw a few home runs and Sarah Huckabee Sanders showed grit in what could have been a horror show, but Leavitt is redefining the position. Even Stephanie Grisham, who many would prefer to forget, didn’t leave nearly as dynamic a mark.
THE VIEW'S JOY BEHAR: Karoline Leavitt was only hired by Donald Trump because she's a '10.' You know that what it is.

Taking on the role of Trump’s spokesperson is akin to being a stunt double in an action film. The daily knowledge that a press briefing could ignite a media frenzy is a unique pressure cooker. While Barack Obama’s press secretaries would dance around questions with ease and face minimal backlash, Leavitt confronts a media landscape that resembles a pack of hungry wolves when it comes to the Trump administration. The past proves this point. Robert Gibbs, Obama’s press secretary, had the luxury of spinning tales from a cozy, protective bubble. With Trump, it’s more like a gladiatorial arena—survival of the fittest!
The differential treatment is glaring and has ramped up since Trump burst onto the scene. As the media lavished love on Democrat figures, they deploy a buzzsaw when it comes to Trump and his team. Fair is an illusion; balanced reporting is dead. Leavitt walks the highwire with unparalleled skill that the current administration’s spokesperson, Karine Jean-Pierre, could only dream of. Jean-Pierre floundered through Biden’s term with a disconcerting mix of incoherence and blank stares, making Leavitt’s skilled performances even more impressive.
No surprise then that the media’s vitriol directed at Leavitt is ramping up. When a mainstream press strategist starts hurling insults, you know someone is doing something right. Insinuations about her looks or whether she earned her position due to merit or merely aesthetics are the go-to tools in the liberal toolbox, weak as they may be. Even local outlets are jumping on the savage train with childish ploys, like referring to her as a “child bride.” These attacks are not merely random, but a calculated effort to undermine her authority and impressive capabilities.
Amid the flurry of media nonsense, Leavitt recently made headlines for discussing her marriage during an interview with Megyn Kelly. The media has caught wind of her marriage to Nicholas Riccio, who is significantly older, and the ensuing feeding frenzy shows desperation. Now, instead of focusing on her competency, they shift the narrative towards her personal life, hoping to belittle her accomplishments. The irony? It’s the same people who holler for women to be believed and celebrated, yet they turn on Leavitt because she presents a conservative challenge.
The Democrats may find themselves cornered, but they remain a crafty foe. The upcoming year stands as a pivotal moment, one that could either solidify the Republican cause of Making America Great Again or see it slip away. The stakes have never been higher. Supporters are called upon to stand firm for a chance to safeguard their values, and the fight only gets tougher from here.
