Trump sparks outrage over comment about press secretary’s appearance
President Donald Trump is once again under fire after making inappropriate comments
Aboard Air Force One
U.S. President Donald Trump is once again under fire after making a comment about Press Secretary c’s appearance that many have described as inappropriate.
The remark came during a press conference aboard Air Force One on October 13, when Trump was asked by reporters whether Karoline Leavitt was at risk of being replaced.
“Those lips, they move like a machine gun”
“Will Karoline be replaced? That will never happen,” Trump said — before adding, “That face… and those lips, they move like a machine gun.”
The exchange quickly went viral, drawing strong criticism from political commentators and social media users.
Outrage spreads online
Footage of Trump’s statement circulated widely across X, TikTok, and Instagram, with users expressing disgust and disbelief at his language.
“How is it impossible for this *** to not be a creep?**” one user wrote, according to Nicki Swift and Newsner.
Another commented, “Um… ewww. Grody. Yuck.”
A third post read, “So he really did hire the women in his administration based solely on bedroom experience.”
Speculation about Trump and Leavitt resurfaces
The president’s comment also revived long-standing rumors that Trump and his 27-year-old press secretary may share a closer relationship than publicly acknowledged.
One viral post on X read: “So he really did hire the women in his administration solely because of what happens in the bedroom.”
Rumors about their relationship first surfaced last summer after photos of Trump and Leavitt on a golf course in Scotland drew widespread attention online.
Trump and Leavitt’s professional history
Leavitt, one of the youngest press secretaries in U.S. history, has worked with Trump since his 2024 campaign and is widely seen as a loyal aide and effective media strategist.
She previously served as a White House assistant press secretary during Trump’s first term before returning to his team for the 2024 election.
Critics call comment “disrespectful”
Critics have condemned Trump’s comment as another example of sexism in his rhetoric toward women.
Political analyst Erin Burnett told CNN, “It’s the same old playbook — objectify, compliment, and diminish all in one sentence.”
Feminist groups have also called for Leavitt to address the comments publicly, though she has not yet issued a statement.
Past behavior raises questions
According to Nicki Swift, author Michael Wolff has previously claimed that Trump often surrounds himself with women resembling his wife, Melania, both in appearance and fashion sense — describing it as a form of “emotional infidelity.”
The author also alleged that Trump’s inner circle tends to include women whose “loyalty is rewarded by proximity and attention.”
White House remains silent
The White House has not commented on the incident, and no official clarification has been issued by Leavitt’s office.
