Karoline Leavitt, the newly appointed White House Press Secretary, is making waves with her assertive stance against mainstream media narratives, particularly those propagated by the Associated Press (AP).

During a recent press briefing, Leavitt faced pointed questioning from AP correspondent Josh Boak regarding President Trump's tariff policies, which he mischaracterized as potential "tax hikes" on American citizens.

Leavitt, demonstrating confidence and command, swiftly debunked Boak's assertions, asserting, “Not true.”

She elaborated that tariffs serve as a countermeasure against foreign entities that have unfairly benefited at the expense of the American economy.


“Tariffs are a tax cut for the American people,” she emphasized, framing President Trump’s administration as unwaveringly committed to reducing taxes for hardworking Americans.

Leavitt also reaffirmed the President’s previous campaign promises, highlighting commitments to eliminate taxes on tips, overtime, and Social Security benefits, and pointed out that Congress is expected to move forward on these initiatives.

When challenged about her understanding of tariffs, Leavitt’s frustration was palpable. She retorted, “I think it's insulting that you're trying to test my knowledge of economics and the decisions that this President has made.”

This exchange underscored a broader theme in Leavitt’s brief tenure: a refusal to allow biased media narratives to shape public perception of the Trump administration’s economic agenda.

The mainstream media, particularly outlets like the AP, have often taken a critical stance toward the Trump administration, with past grievances including recent litigation over access to press briefings.

These various exchanges highlight the Trump White House's determination to reshape its relationship with the press, ensuring that facts, rather than fabricated narratives, are the focus of public discourse.

Under President Trump’s leadership, there is a clear push to prioritize American interests while combating the misleading narratives often disseminated by established news organizations.

As the administration presses forward with its agenda, Americans can expect to see a more aggressive defense against misinformation and a steadfast commitment to the economic policies that prioritize America first.
