Donald Trump‘s press secretary Karoline Leavitt had some harsh words for the press after it was reported the White House could make a major change.
Over the weekend, it was reported that the White House is preparing to take control of its briefing room’s seating chart in a brazen power play that could upend decades of precedent and anger the liberal media.
‘It does not belong to elitist journalists,’ Leavitt, 27, said on Fox News about the White House briefing room.
‘I would remind them that the briefing room is part of the People’s House. It belongs to the American people.’
Meanwhile, Trump has seriously floated the possibility of him running for a third term, despite the US Constitution stipulating that presidents are limited to two four-year terms.
‘I’m not joking,’ Trump said in a Sunday morning phone call with NBC News.
How Trump’s family crypto venture is creating a major MAGA headache
Jon Michael Raasch, Political Reporter for DailyMail.com
Cryptocurrency legislation in Congress may come to a screeching halt if President Donald Trump and his family continue to launch crypto business ventures.
A bill providing a regulatory framework for stablecoins, cryptocurrencies tethered to the price of a fixed monetary asset, like the U.S. dollar, has been breezing over hurdles on Capitol Hill this year.
The Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act, also called the GENIUS Act, has received early bipartisan support.
It passed out of the Senate Financial Services Committee on March 13 with broad bipartisan support 18 – 6 and could get a full vote on the Senate floor within President Donald Trump’s first 100 days.
But now a Democrat across the Capitol is threatening to tank the effort if the measure is not rewritten to ensure that Trump and Elon Musk can never get involved in the stablecoin industry.
California Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters, the ranking member of the House Financial Services Committee, is planning on voting against the GENIUS Act this week if it does not include language banning Trump and Musk from issuing stablecoins, one of her aides revealed to Politico.
Karoline Leavitt backs up Trump’s third term run desires and ridicules reporters for ‘melt down’
By Nikki Schwab, Chief Campaign Correspondent
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt pushed Monday that reporters needed to calm their reactions to President Donald Trump musing about a third term.
The Constitution prohibits presidents from serving more than two terms but Trump has said in recent interviews that he’s open to being president for more than eight years.
That has prompted concerns in light of Trump’s refusal to concede the 2020 election to President Joe Biden – which he still falsely claims was ‘totally rigged’ – and his role in the January 6, 2021 Capitol attack.
‘You guys continue to ask the president this question about a third term and then he answers honestly and candidly with a smile and then everybody here melts down about his answer,’ Leavitt told reporters outside the White House Monday.
She had just gone on Fox News Channel, where she was asked about Trump’s third-term comments too, and gave as similar answer.
‘It’s funny to me that journalists ask the president this question. He gives an honest and candid answer, and then they spiral about his answer,’ Leavitt told Fox News Channel’s John Roberts.
