Full Episode
Donald Trump's chief propagandist, his press secretary, Caroline Leavitt, just snapped during a disastrous press conference when she was asked about Donald Trump traveling to the Middle East and meeting with many of the countries and sovereign wealth funds that he has personal business interest with, who have enriched him to the tune of about $4 billion. Here, play this clip.
You noted he is a successful businessman. Do you know if the president has any plans to meet with any of the folks involved with any of the family businesses over there or see any of the sites that are going to be neutral?
Not to my knowledge. And let me just get to the premise of your question that both of you have raised. I think it's frankly ridiculous that anyone in this room would even suggest that President Trump is doing anything for his own benefit. He left a life of luxury and a life of running a very successful real estate empire for public service. not just once, but twice.
And again, the American public reelected him back to this White House because they trust he acts in the best interest of our country and putting the American public first. This is a president who has actually lost money for being president of the United States.
I don't remember these same type of questions being asked of my predecessor about a career politician who was clearly profiting off of this office. That is not what President Trump does. And this White House holds ourselves to the highest of ethical standards.
Oh yes, Caroline Leavitt, it would be ridiculous for anybody in the room to dare question Donald Trump's motivations. Or we could come with receipts, Caroline. Like, I don't know, Donald Trump doing a deal with Qatar for a Trump resort there. Donald Trump doing a deal with Saudi Arabia for a resort in Oman. The Abu Dhabi fund using Donald Trump's crypto for $2 billion worth of purchases.
I could go on, but I think we all get the point. Then Caroline Libet, Donald Trump's chief propagandist, attacks the Librarian of Congress who Donald Trump unlawfully fired and basically says that she was woke and DEI and that's why she had to go and be fired even though Donald Trump doesn't have the authority to unilaterally fire the Librarian of Congress. Here, play this clip.
Question, the president fired the Librarian of Congress. Why did he choose to do that?
We felt she did not fit the needs of the American people. There were quite concerning things that she had done at the Library of Congress in the pursuit of DEI and putting inappropriate books in the library for children. And we don't believe that she was serving the interests of the American taxpayer well.
