Young girl’s viral moment, asks White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, ‘How many people has Donald Trump fired?’ Here’s how she responded
During a special event, children took over the White House briefing room, and they did not hold back. From President Trump’s candy habits to his firing record, young kids asked it all.
There’s one brave young girl who stole the show with a question that made everyone laugh and think.
They were celebrating “Take Our Sons and Daughters to Work Day” on May 20. The children of reporters, including the White House press corps and White House staff, were invited to the press briefing room by the White House as a late celebration of the occasion.
What did kids ask about Donald Trump during the briefing?
Children sat in the seats that their parents typically occupied and asked for answers in sweet, high-pitched voices.
Karoline Leavitt responded with humour and sincerity to all the questions posed by them.
Does President Donald Trump enjoy embracing people?” Yes, I do think he likes to give hugs,” Karoline Leavitt, the press secretary for the White House, said. Which food is his favourite?
“He likes to eat big, beautiful steak,” Leavitt stated.
President Trump would simply snap his fingers and solve all of our nation’s problems, Leavitt said in response to a child who asked him which “superpower” he wished he had.
Then, a young reporter asked a far bolder and much more relevant question. The moment quickly went viral, highlighting Trump’s well-documented firing record.
“How many people has President Trump fired?” a young girl who was most likely 4 years old asked the president’s press secretary, Karoline Leavitt.
How did Leavitt respond to the question about firings?
“So far, we haven’t had anyone fired, except for one person who did quit their job,” Leavitt said after laughing.
“But we have a great team here. So far, so good.”
Karoline Leavitt didn’t name the specific individual in question, though.
