Trump’s shockingly personal comments about secretary exposed.
Donald Trump just made headlines—and not for policy—after a jaw-dropping gush fest about his press secretary, Karoline Leavitt.
Karoline’s rise highlighted.
Leavitt’s political career began behind the scenes as an assistant press secretary during Trump’s first term in the White House.
Hailing from New Hampshire, Leavitt was a rising Republican star with sharp media instincts and a knack for messaging.
Even early on, insiders say Trump was impressed by her ability to punch back during interviews and stay ruthlessly on message.
In 2022, Leavitt launched a bold congressional bid in her home state, gaining national attention as a Gen Z firebrand.
Despite her youth and lack of experience, she beat out older, better-funded Republicans to clinch the nomination.
Her campaign caught Trump’s attention again—this time as someone who could do more than just read talking points.
Leavitt returned to Trump’s orbit as a senior communications advisor, helping shape messaging during the chaotic campaign relaunch.
Leavitt became a regular on Fox News, Newsmax, and OANN, fiercely defending Trump against indictments and media scrutiny.
After his return to the White House, Trump named Leavitt press secretary—making her the youngest ever in the role.
Her appointment stunned Washington insiders, but Trump reportedly said, “She’s got more fire than all of them.”
Leavitt handles daily briefings, viral tweets, and high-stakes spin with the confidence of a seasoned operative.
Trump’s controversial comments revealed.
In a Friday interview with Newsmax, Trump said: “It’s that face. It’s that brain. It’s those lips, the way they move!”
“She’s become a star,” he continued. “They move like she’s a machine gun. She’s a great person actually.”
Social media exploded with reactions, many calling the president’s words “creepy,” “uncomfortable,” and downright “cringe.”
“This definitely sounds like something Jeffrey Epstein’s best friend would say,” one user tweeted.
Karoline’s age-gap relationship detailed.
For context, the youngest press secretary in history quietly tied the knot with a man more than twice her age earlier this year.
Leavitt and Riccio wed in January, days before Donald Trump’s return to the White House, keeping the event low-key.
According to Leavitt, a mutual friend introduced them at a political event Riccio hosted at his restaurant.
“He was just a friend at first,” Leavitt told The Megyn Kelly Show. “Then we fell in love.”
When asked if she had hesitations about dating someone 32 years older, she replied honestly: “Of course.”
Despite the gap, Leavitt said Riccio has been her biggest supporter—especially during her intense political rise.
He’s a restaurant owner with a history of political donations and connections in conservative circles.
The relationship has drawn plenty of eyebrow raises on social media, with users questioning the massive age disparity.
“I know it’s unconventional,” she told Kelly, “but it works for us.”
Leavitt said Riccio respects her independence and drives her to keep aiming higher in her career.
Observers note that Riccio’s connections may have helped bolster her influence within Trumpworld.
“I’ve never been happier,” Leavitt said—making it clear she’s not interested in anyone else’s approval.
Karoline Leavitt isn’t going anywhere.
Love her or loathe her, Karoline Leavitt has firmly planted herself in the center of Trump’s political machine.
Whether it’s her viral marriage or Trump’s eyebrow-raising praise, she keeps the headlines coming.
For critics, she’s a walking controversy. For Trump, she’s a media weapon.
And if the past week is any clue, those “machine gun lips” won’t be silenced.
