Trump Discusses His Press Secretary's Job Performance, Steering Conversation Towards Odd Territories.
================================================================
In the second term of President Donald Trump's administration, Karoline Leavitt has made a significant impact as the White House Press Secretary. At just 27 years old, Leavitt became the youngest person to hold this position in U.S. history [2][3].
Leavitt's career with the Trump administration began in 2019, where she started as a White House intern and later moved to the correspondence office and then as assistant press secretary [3]. After a brief departure, she returned to serve as Trump's campaign press secretary during the 2024 election and was appointed to her current role at the start of Trump's second term in 2025 [1][4].
Leavitt's tenure has been characterised by her vocal support for Trump's policies, particularly in the areas of foreign conflict resolution, immigration enforcement, and legislative accomplishments [1]. She has highlighted key achievements in these areas, though specific peace treaties attributed to her were not detailed in available sources [1].
During a Friday interview with NewsMax's Rob Finnerty, Trump complimented Leavitt, praising her as a "star" and a "great person." He went on to compliment her face, brain, and the way her lips move [1]. Trump also expressed admiration for Leavitt's work, stating that she is "smart, tough, and highly effective" as a communicator [3].
Trump's diplomatic efforts have extended to various global hotspots, including Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Pakistan, Israel, Iran, Thailand, Cambodia, Serbia, and Kosovo [1][2]. During his six months in office, Trump has brokered an average of one peace deal or ceasefire per month [1].
Leavitt has been active in defending the administration's positions against what she described as biased reporting by some media outlets [1]. Media and public reactions have included attention to her youth and rapid rise in politics, with some controversy over Trump's personal comments about her [2].
The interview with NewsMax was conducted in a setting where Leavitt was present and in the room [5]. Trump believes that Leavitt is the best press secretary he has ever had and finds her performance in his administration impressive [3]. As Leavitt continues to serve as White House Press Secretary, she will undoubtedly play a crucial role in shaping the administration's communication strategies and policies.
