Trump Faces Backlash Over Comment About Karoline Leavitt

In the high-stakes environment of the White House, where every word is dissected and every gesture analyzed, few figures have drawn attention quite like Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary.

At just 28 years old, Leavitt has become one of the youngest individuals to hold this role in recent history, navigating the relentless glare of the media while managing a position that demands both poise and strategic communication.

Recently, however, Leavitt found herself at the center of a different kind of attention — one that is deeply personal and, for many observers, entirely inappropriate.

The attention came not from her own actions or public statements, but from remarks made by her 79-year-old boss, former President Donald J. Trump, during a rally in Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday, December 9, 2025.
