White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt dismissed concerns about President Donald Trump’s recent remarks on a potential third term, calling media outrage “fake news.” Leavitt argued Trump was simply answering questions honestly when discussing supporters urging him to stay beyond two terms. “The president’s focused on his current duties,” she said, highlighting border security victories and mass deportations of criminals as proof of his effectiveness.
Leavitt mocked reporters for “melting down” over Trump’s comments, insisting Americans care more about results than “hypotheticals.” She pointed to Trump’s rapid deregulation of energy companies and record-breaking executive orders as evidence he’s too busy delivering for workers to plot future power grabs. Critics claim Trump’s flirting with defying the Constitution’s term limits threatens democracy, but Leavitt brushed it off as “leftist fearmongering.”
Meanwhile, global “Tesla Takedown” protests turned violent this weekend, with activists torching dealerships and vandalizing cars to oppose Elon Musk’s role in Trump’s government efficiency overhaul. Leavitt praised Musk’s DOGE agency for saving taxpayers $130 billion while attacking “radical leftists” committing “domestic terrorism” against Tesla properties. She confirmed Trump supports Musk’s leadership, even test-driving a Tesla at the White House this week.
Protesters in Europe compared Musk to Hitler, holding signs like “No Nazi Cars” over his controversial raised-arm gesture at Trump’s inauguration. Leavitt condemned the comparisons as “disgusting smears” and praised Musk for streamlining bloated federal agencies. Trump allies argue the protests prove liberals hate success, with Leavitt noting Tesla’s falling sales show “jealousy” toward American innovation.
The White House announced new “Liberation Day” tariffs hitting foreign imports starting April 2, which Leavitt called a “historic victory” for fair trade. She credited Trump’s tough negotiations with reviving U.S. manufacturing, citing recent factory investments by Hyundai and Schneider Electric. “America’s winning again,” Leavitt declared, claiming Trump’s policies have already slashed egg prices and created jobs.
As left-wing chaos grips cities, Leavitt promised Trump will keep deporting criminal illegal immigrants and fighting for law-abiding citizens. She closed by mocking journalists’ “obsession” with Trump’s jokes about a third term while ignoring his real achievements. “The American people see through the drama,” Leavitt said. “They just want four more years of safety, prosperity, and putting America first.”
