As Jim Hoft reported earlier, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt held her first official White House press briefing in Washington DC.
Despite being the youngest press secretary in US history, she is impeccably qualified to communicate both President Trump’s message and smack down fake news reporters. What a refreshing change from the last four years.

During the press conference, Leavitt proved to reporters that their garbage lies would no longer be tolerated and put them in place with a smile throughout the briefing. While many moments stand out, one generating much attention online was her brilliant answer when asked about inflation and the price of eggs.
As TGP readers know, Democrats and their corporate media allies have suddenly discovered that the cost of groceries is a real problem now that a Republican is in the White House. Unsurprisingly, they have sought to pin all the blame on Trump and ignore the Biden regime’s deliberate failures on the issue.
Thinking he could flummox Leavitt, one reporter attempted to ambush her with a gotcha question and blame Trump on inflation.
“You mentioned the inflation executive order that the president signed,” the ‘reporter’ began. “But egg prices have skyrocketed since President Trump took office. So, what specifically is he doing to lower those costs?
Sensing the trap, Leavitt responded by destroying the fake news ‘journalist’ with a cold dose of reality.
“Really glad you brought this up,” Leavitt said while smiling. “Because there is a lot of reporting putting the onus on this White House for the increased cost of eggs.
“I would like to point out to each and every one of you that in 2024, when Joe Biden was in the Oval Office or upstairs sleeping, I’m not so sure, egg prices increased 65 percent,” she added.
Ouch.

Leavitt continued to drop truth bombs on the reporter’s little head by pointing out that the Biden regime’s inflationary policies also caused the price of other food products, including bacon, to skyrocket before turning back to eggs.
“What is also that (the egg shortage) is that the Biden Administration and the Department of Agriculture directed the MASS KILLING of more than 100 million chickens, which has led to a lack of chicken supply in this country, therefore a lack of egg supply,” she said.
Leavitt then closed by noting that this reality illustrated the urgency of the Senate confirming all of Trump’s nominees, including his Agriculture Secretary nominee, Brooke Rollins.
