Karoline Leavitt Publicly Trashes Republicans For Not Praising Trump Enough

Karoline Leavitt thinks Republicans haven't shown enough fealty to the president.

By the time he returned to office earlier this year, President Donald Trump had mostly purged dissent from the Republican Party. Most of the lawmakers who were skeptical of Trump, by that point, had either left the party or left elected office.

But according to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, on the other hand, the GOP hasn’t shown nearly enough loyalty to the president.

The Daily Beast reported that Leavitt, in an appearance on Fox and Friends, had said Republicans aren’t doing enough to praise Trump’s handling of the economy.

“As President Trump has been screaming from the rooftops, Republicans need to remain tough, and smart, and they need to be more vocal about telling the accomplishments of this administration,” Leavitt said during the Fox appearance.

“Again, inflation has slowed because of President Trump’s economic policies,” the press secretary said on Fox. “We see wages for the first time in five years are increasing by about $1,000 per the average American worker.”
In another appearance Tuesday, on Newsmax, Leavitt once again sought to imply that Trump had inherited a collapsed economy with record-high inflation, when neither was quite the case.

Leavitt also claimed, falsely, that Trump had convinced China to purchase American soybeans when they didn’t under Biden, but that’s not true either.

As for Trump himself, he said this week that he graded his own economy, “A+++++,” while most Americans don’t agree.
“The big picture: Polls — and November’s blue wave — indicate that many Americans disagree with that sentiment, even Trump’s voter base, but the president has held firm to the message that his administration’s economic policies have been an unqualified success,” Axios reported.
