When criticizing the White House Press Secretary, he played it off as a joke. Attempting to explain all the “bad publicity,” he actually said that Leavitt might be doing “a terrible job.” Because it obviously has nothing to do with him or his actions.
“I got 93% bad publicity, some people say 97, but between 93 and 97,” Trump said in the Oval Office on Tuesday, March 31. “A person that gets 97% of bad … maybe Karoline’s doing a poor job, I don’t know.”
Speaking to her directly, he said, “You’re doing a terrible job.” To make it clear that he was just joking around, he added, “Shall we keep her? I think we’ll keep her.”
He then went on to complain about the “bad publicity.”
Trump, a delusional egomaniac, doesn’t have the introspective skills to see all that bad publicity and think “hmmm, maybe I’m doing a terrible job and need to course correct.” Instead, he deflects and jokingly threatens the job security of his press secretary. https://t.co/PqjdHweUTe
