US donald trump Karoline Leavitt Whte House
The White House press secretary was asked what Trump is doing to tackle inflation and it’s a chilling taste of the next four years
One of the more memorable elements of Donald Trump’s first four years in the White House – apart from basically everything, obviously – was the succession of press secretaries that stood up to spout whatever he wanted them to spout.
And his new press secretary Karoline Leavitt might be taking the role to a whole new level.
We say this after Trump was elected to do many things, one of them to tackle the rampant inflation in the US right now.
So it was only natural that reporters should want to ask about the skyrocketing price of eggs since Trump returned to the White House.
And Leavitt’s answer was a chilling taste of what’s to come.
REPORTER: Egg prices have skyrocketed since President Trump took office. So what specifically is he doing to lower those costs?
LEAVITT: When Joe Biden was in the Oval Office or upstairs sleeping — I’m not so sure — egg prices increased 65 percent pic.twitter.com/4ev8A4N4ew

JD Vance made an entire video complaining that a dozen eggs were $3.50 under Biden. Under Trump, a dozen eggs are now upwards of $10-$15 in many places. https://t.co/NBIjQZp9JD

Wow how professional! She’s a chip off the old block! Just demean and deflect instead of answering a single question

Someone should tell Leavitt WHY farmers had to kill their chickens. Letting the Avian flu spread will just make it worse. Maybe she’ll suggest injecting them with bleach. Perhaps Ivermectin for chickens.
They have no plan to lower the cost of eggs BTW. https://t.co/71R8fKyMpU

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt blames President Biden for the skyrocketing costs of eggs this week and says the solution is for the Senate to swiftly confirm Trump’s nominees.

I love how Trump’s press secretaries always wear their big ass crosses around their necks to make sure we all know they “Love Jesus” and then they violate the 8th Commandment every time they open their mouths. But I guess that’s the “Old Testament” so… https://t.co/UP402xffy2
