White House Press Sec. Reveals How Trump Gave Her The Role

0

Karoline Leavitt didn’t get a formal sit-down, a public rollout, or even much buildup before landing one of the most visible jobs in Washington.

Instead, she got a casual aside on a phone call.

Speaking Thursday night at a Turning Point USA event at George Washington University, the White House press secretary recounted how President Donald Trump informed her she would take on the role — in what she described as “the most anti-climatic thing ever.”

“About a week after the election, we were on the phone about something, the president and me, just chit-chatting,” Leavitt said.

“And it was the most anti-climatic thing ever. He goes, ‘Oh, by the way, you know, you’re going to be the White House press secretary, right?’”

Her response: “Oh, okay.”

Trump quickly moved on.

“And he said, ‘So about that other thing, what do you think about that? What should we do? What should we say?’”

“That was it. That’s how I got the job,” she said.

Leavitt emphasized there was “no pomp and circumstance,” calling the moment “true Donald Trump fashion” and noting that “there really wasn’t a process.”

At the time, she had been working as a spokesperson on Trump’s 2024 campaign after losing her congressional bid in New Hampshire.

“I thought, I hope I’ll get a job. I don’t know if I will,” she said.

Leavitt, who gave birth to her son in July 2024, is currently nine months pregnant with a daughter — adding another layer of intensity to a role she says began with little more than an offhand comment.

White House Responds To Reports Trump Plans To Fire Another Admin Official

The White House is forcefully denying a new report that President Trump is preparing to fire Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard—just one day after ousting Attorney General Pam Bondi in a major Cabinet shakeup.

White House Communications Director Steven Cheung dismissed the report outright, saying Trump has “total confidence” in Gabbard and that “any insinuation otherwise is totally fake news.”

“The President has assembled the most talented and impactful Cabinet ever, and they have collectively delivered historic victories on behalf of the American people,” Cheung added in a post on X.

The response came after a report from The Guardian claimed Trump had begun quietly exploring Gabbard’s potential replacement, even polling Cabinet members about the idea.

According to the report, Trump has been privately frustrated with Gabbard’s handling of internal dissent—particularly her defense of former counterterrorism official Joe Kent, who resigned in protest over the administration’s military operations in Iran.

“Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby,” Kent wrote in his resignation letter, shortly after U.S. and Israeli forces carried out joint strikes.

Gabbard, a longtime critic of U.S. intervention abroad, declined to publicly rebuke Kent—fueling tensions inside the administration. Trump has been “venting frustration that she shielded a former deputy who undercut his rationale for war with Iran, according to two people briefed on the discussions,” the report said.

Her recent congressional testimony added to the strain. When pressed by lawmakers, Gabbard refused to offer her personal view on the legality of the Iran strikes—a position consistent with her past skepticism of executive war powers, but one that reportedly irritated the president.

Despite the internal friction, it remains unclear whether Trump is prepared to act.

“It is not clear that Trump will actually fire Gabbard over the episode,” the report noted, adding that “currently, there is no standout candidate to take the job, and advisers have cautioned that creating a high-profile vacancy before a successor is ready could cause unhelpful political distractions.”

Trump himself has sent mixed signals. When asked aboard Air Force One whether he still had confidence in Gabbard, he offered only a lukewarm endorsement:

“Yeah, sure,” Trump said. “I mean, she’s a little bit different in her thought process than me, but that doesn’t make somebody not available to say it.”

The episode comes at a sensitive moment for the administration. Trump’s decision to remove Bondi marked the most significant personnel shakeup of his second term—and raised new questions about whether additional changes could follow.

For now, the White House is trying to shut down that narrative. But with tensions simmering over foreign policy—and Trump’s track record of abrupt personnel moves—the speculation is unlikely to fade anytime soon.

Political Strategist Says Democrats Will Target Trump’s Family After Midterms

Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville is escalating his rhetoric against President Donald Trump, warning that Democrats will aggressively target not just the president—but his family—if they win back power in the 2026 midterms.

In a new video this week, Carville predicted sweeping GOP losses in November, framing the expected outcome as a political knockout that would leave Trump exposed to a wave of investigations.

“Let’s talk about your future, your post-November future,” Carville said, anticipating widespread defeat of Trump and the GOP. “The Democrats are going to investigate you to no end.”

“They’re going to start going after you. Then they’re going to start figuring out where all the money stolen is,” he continued. “Then they’re going to go after your stupid jacka– kids and their spouses and all the other bulls— that you see, and they’re going to investigate the s— out of you.”

The comments build on a broader—and increasingly aggressive—set of predictions from Carville, who has repeatedly argued that Democrats are poised for major midterm gains. Across multiple recent appearances, he has claimed Republicans are heading toward significant losses, citing voter frustration over inflation, dissatisfaction with Trump’s leadership, and fallout from the administration’s handling of the Iran conflict.

Carville has gone even further, suggesting those losses could trigger a chain reaction inside Washington: Democratic control of Congress, immediate impeachment proceedings, and a flood of investigations into Trump’s finances, conduct in office, and inner circle.

Trump himself has warned that a Democratic victory would lead to exactly that scenario, arguing that impeachment and investigations would follow quickly if Republicans lose control of the House or Senate.

Carville, however, is not just predicting investigations—he is openly embracing them. He has previously urged Democrats to center their messaging on accountability, including proposals for commissions to examine alleged “war profiteering” tied to the Iran conflict, which he has called a “catastrophe of the first order” and a “racket war.”

In his latest remarks, Carville also raised the possibility that Trump could face scrutiny beyond U.S. borders.

“When it comes to the stuff you’re doing in Iran, I got to tell you, you’re getting really, really, really close to war crimes here. You’re probably going to cross the line,” Carville warned. “And the one thing that Democrats are going to insist on in the 2028 election is that if you’re indicted by the international courts and I think it’s in Hog or Hague or somewhere in the Netherlands, we’re not going to protect your a–, not gonna protect you.”

He added that Trump’s political support could quickly erode—even within his own party—if Republicans suffer major defeats.

“You know who’s going to turn on you?” Carville asked. “What’s left of the Republican senators.”

Carville has repeatedly floated a dramatic endgame: that the mounting pressure—from investigations, impeachment threats, and political isolation—could ultimately push Trump to resign early and seek a pardon from Vice President JD Vance. Still, he has argued that even a presidential pardon would not shield Trump from state-level or international legal exposure.

“I got news for you, dude. You’re done,” he said. “And we’re going to enjoy watching your downfall. Thank you very much.”

The White House quickly fired back. In a statement to Fox News Digital, a spokesperson said, “James Carville is a stone-cold loser who clearly suffers from a severe and debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome that has rotted his peanut-sized brain.”

Carville’s latest comments are consistent with his long track record of blunt—and often controversial—political predictions. In recent years, he has repeatedly forecast Trump’s political collapse, including predicting a Democratic victory in 2024 and even suggesting Trump’s second administration would “collapse in 30 days.”

Now, with the 2026 midterms approaching, Carville is once again making a high-stakes call—this time not just about electoral outcomes, but about what he believes will be an aggressive, wide-ranging effort to investigate Trump, his family, and those closest to him if Democrats take back power.

Pelosi Leaves Door Open To Impeachment If Dems Retake Power

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi declined to rule out a future impeachment effort against President Donald Trump if Democrats regain control of Congress, leaving the decision to a potential new majority while emphasizing that the party’s immediate focus remains on policy priorities.

In an interview Tuesday with MSNBC’s Ali Vitali, Pelosi was pressed on whether Democrats would consider impeaching Trump during his second term, particularly amid ongoing voter concerns about “corruption.” While she did not directly endorse such a move, Pelosi made clear that the possibility would ultimately depend on the actions of a future Congress.

“Well, I think that, I’m not, that’s just not where we’re starting with this, but when we get power, we will have power to go there to do what we said we’re going to do, lower the cost of living. Some people say you should use other language, but lower the costs of living, A. B, fix what they have done to the healthcare system with their trillion dollars from Medicaid, half a trillion dollars for Medicare, and the money from SNAP. I do believe that food is medicine as well, especially for children, and again fight their corruption. So that’s what we’re setting out to do,” Pelosi said.

Recent polling has fueled speculation about a potential shift in power. Several surveys show Republicans facing a difficult midterm environment, with Democrats gaining ground in key battleground districts and generic ballot polling tightening or tilting left. That has raised the stakes of questions about what Democrats might do if they reclaim the House.

Vitali followed up, asking Pelosi directly whether she believes Trump has committed impeachable offenses in his second term.

“We have a convicted felon who’s president of the United States. That was then, this is now. I think, that that’s subject to review. But I don’t think that’s something, that’s not where you start. That’s what you have to do because of what he has done. That’s subject a great review. We had great review as to what were the grounds for impeachment. And that’s up to a new Congress to come to that decision. But the fact is that, people want to know what we’re doing for them,” Pelosi responded.

Pelosi repeatedly emphasized that impeachment is not a political starting point but a process that requires evidence and deliberation.

“You’re asking about what comes next. That’s up to the new Congress. And that’s up to them to decide where we go of reviewing what he’s done. And that requires power, all the kinds of things that build a case. It’s not just about, ‘I feel like doing this,'” she added.

Trump, for his part, has already predicted that Democrats would pursue impeachment if they regain control, framing it as a likely political outcome of a Democratic victory in November. His allies have echoed that warning, arguing that impeachment would be a central focus of a Democratic-led House.

Pelosi, however, sought to contrast that narrative by stressing economic and policy concerns as the party’s primary message heading into the midterms. She pointed to lowering costs, restoring healthcare funding, and addressing nutrition programs as top priorities.

The former speaker also reiterated that she has no regrets about leading the House in impeaching Trump twice during his first term, decisions she has long defended as necessary and grounded in evidence.

Her comments mark a notable shift from late 2025, when she told USA Today’s Susan Page that there was not sufficient cause at that time to pursue impeachment again.

“If he crosses the border again,” Pelosi said in that earlier interview. “But that’s not an incidental thing. You say, ‘We’re going to do that.’ No, there has to be cause. There has to be reason. We had review. This was a very serious, historic thing.”

Pelosi, who announced she will not seek re-election when her term ends in January 2027, appears to be leaving the question of impeachment deliberately open-ended—framing it as a decision for future lawmakers rather than a defined campaign promise, even as political pressure builds on both sides ahead of a potentially pivotal midterm election.

Veteran Political Strategist Predicts Trump Will Exit White House Early

4

Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville is doubling down on his prediction that President Donald Trump will not complete his second term, arguing this week that mounting political pressure could force him out of office within the next year.

In a Wednesday video for Politicon, Carville mixed his trademark blunt insults with a strikingly specific forecast: that Trump will “cut a deal” and resign from the presidency by April of next year. The longtime Democratic operative said he believes Republicans are headed for significant losses in the 2026 midterms—losses he argues will fundamentally weaken Trump’s standing in Washington.

Carville declared he’s so confident in Democrats’ chances in midterm elections that he’s predicting the GOP losses will feel like a “punch” from Mike Tyson for Trump.

“Let’s talk about your future, your post-November future. First, people are not going to return your phone calls. They’re going to correctly think, you know… they’ll say, well, he’s got two years left. He can do damage. No one gives a s**t about him. The Democrats are going to investigate you to no end,” he predicted.

The comments build on Carville’s earlier assertions that a Democratic sweep of the House and Senate would leave Trump politically isolated and increasingly irrelevant in Washington. In prior remarks, Carville suggested that “everything that he tries blows up in his face” and argued that a Democratic-controlled Congress would effectively sideline the president.

His latest prediction goes further, outlining a scenario in which Trump faces not only political marginalization but a wave of investigations from multiple fronts. Carville pushed for probes into alleged financial misconduct, claiming that “money stolen” by Trump and his family should be examined. He also suggested Trump could face scrutiny from international bodies over his handling of military strikes against Iran—a conflict Carville has previously described as a “catastrophe of the first order” and a “racket war.”

Carville argued that even Republican allies on Capitol Hill would eventually turn on Trump if the party suffers major midterm defeats.

“You know who’s gonna turn on you? What’s left of the Republican senators. There may be 43 to 45 of them left. Now the House is gonna vote to impeach you. You’re gonna be impeached in 2027… these senators can’t stand you. These Republican senators, they can’t stand you. They have to be there because of their politics, back in their states, but it’s gonna be apparent to them that you’re a loser. You’re a losing f**king bet.”

Trump himself has acknowledged the political stakes surrounding the midterms, warning that a Democratic victory would likely bring renewed impeachment efforts and aggressive congressional investigations. He has framed the election as a critical firewall against what he describes as partisan attempts to undermine his presidency.

Carville, however, argued that the pressure from investigations—combined with electoral losses and eroding Republican support—could ultimately push Trump toward resignation. He predicted the president would seek a deal that includes a pardon from Vice President JD Vance, allowing him to exit the White House before facing further consequences.

“We refer to it as a come-to-Jesus moment. You’re gonna assess where you are, even through your cloudy, stupid, fat-addled brain, you’re gonna figure out, I gotta get the hell out of here. You’re going to cut a deal and you’re gonna resign. [Vance] is going to pardon you. He’s got to pardon a lot of other people, but he’s a creepy, ambitious little twerp. He’ll do whatever he can to get into the White House. But they can’t pardon you for state crimes. They can’t pardon you in the International Criminal Court.”

While Carville is known for his provocative rhetoric and long-shot predictions, his comments reflect broader Democratic messaging ahead of 2026. He has repeatedly urged candidates to focus on issues like war profiteering tied to the Iran conflict and to promise aggressive oversight if they regain power.

Whether Carville’s prediction proves accurate remains to be seen. But with early polling suggesting potential Republican vulnerabilities and both parties already bracing for a high-stakes midterm battle, his remarks underscore just how consequential the 2026 elections could be—not only for control of Congress, but for the trajectory of Trump’s presidency itself.

President Trump Officially Fires Attorney General Bondi

President Trump announced Thursday that he has fired Attorney General Pam Bondi.

“Pam Bondi is a Great American Patriot and a loyal friend, who faithfully served as my Attorney General over the past year. Pam did a tremendous job overseeing a massive crackdown in Crime across our Country, with Murders plummeting to their lowest level since 1900,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“We love Pam, and she will be transitioning to a much needed and important new job in the private sector, to be announced at a date in the near future, and our Deputy Attorney General, and a very talented and respected Legal Mind, Todd Blanche, will step in to serve as Acting Attorney General.”

Bondi, a fierce defender of the president, has been under increasing scrutiny due to her handling of the Epstein files.

DeSantis Signs Bill to Rename Florida Airport After Trump

    0

    Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) quietly signed legislation Monday to rename Palm Beach International Airport after President Donald J. Trump — a move that underscores how Trump’s name is being embedded across Florida’s physical and political landscape.

    The measure would rebrand the airport as President Donald J. Trump International Airport, pending administrative follow-through. While the law references Federal Aviation Administration involvement, the FAA has made clear it won’t stand in the way.

    The agency told The New York Times it “does not approve airport name changes,” calling them a local matter, and said its role would be limited to “administrative tasks to include updating navigational charts and databases.”

    If finalized, the new name would take effect July 1, 2026.

    A coordinated push around the Trump brand

    The renaming effort didn’t emerge in isolation. On Feb. 13, 2026, Trump’s family business filed a trademark application covering the airport’s name — along with potential use of the DJT airport code for merchandise.

    The Trump Organization has said Trump and his family will not receive royalties or licensing fees tied to the change. Still, the trademark filing signals a broader effort to formalize and control how the Trump name is used in connection with major infrastructure.

    Palm Beach is already ground zero for Trump’s post-presidency footprint, anchored by Mar-a-Lago just minutes from the airport. The renaming effectively turns a key gateway into a branded extension of that orbit.

    And it fits a longer pattern: Trump’s name has been affixed to hotels, towers, golf courses, and residential properties worldwide — a branding strategy that blends real estate, politics, and personal identity more tightly than any modern U.S. political figure.

    Celebration — and backlash

    Eric Trump quickly celebrated the move on X, writing:

    “Palm Beach International Airport is now officially…. ‘President Donald J. Trump International Airport!’”

    But the decision is already drawing sharp criticism, especially over cost and priorities.

    Politico reported that Florida lawmakers initially set aside $2.75 million for signage, branding, and website updates tied to the change.

    State Rep. Fentrice Driskell, the Florida House Minority Leader, blasted the move:

    “Your money is being misused to celebrate the man who caused gas prices to rise to over four dollars a gallon, grocery costs to shoot up, and health care prices to spike,” she said. “Republicans are out of touch when it comes to the real issues impacting Floridians. The people of Florida did not ask for this. It’s clear Tallahassee Republicans care more about political stunts than they care about your wallet.”

    Not just an airport — a broader legacy play

    The timing is notable.

    The airport news coincided with newly unveiled renderings for Trump’s planned Presidential Library in Miami, a waterfront project designed to cement his legacy in his adopted home state.

    While details are still emerging, the proposed library signals a long-term institutional presence — the kind typically associated with past presidents’ archives and policy centers. Combined with the airport renaming, it points to a coordinated effort to anchor Trump’s post-presidential identity physically across Florida.

    Taken together, the moves suggest something bigger than a naming change: a deliberate expansion of Trump-branded landmarks — from transportation hubs to cultural institutions — concentrated in one state.

    Florida isn’t just where Trump lives.

    It’s increasingly where his legacy is being built in concrete, steel, and signage.

    Report: President Trump Considering Booting Pam Bondi

    1

    President Trump is weighing whether to fire Attorney General Pam Bondi—just weeks after replacing his Homeland Security chief—amid growing frustration with her leadership and a political blowback over the Epstein files.

    Behind the scenes, Trump has floated EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin as a possible replacement, according to people familiar with the discussions. No decision has been made.

    But publicly, Trump is still standing by her—at least for now.

    “Attorney General Pam Bondi is a wonderful person and she is doing a good job,” he said in a statement to The New York Times.

    Behind the scenes, the tone is far less supportive.

    According to people familiar with the conversations, Trump has been “souring” on Bondi for months. At the center of it: her handling of the Epstein files, which has become a political liability with his base.

    That controversy started early. Bondi claimed the files were “sitting on my desk right now”—only for the rollout to unravel, with heavily redacted documents and binders distributed to influencers that sparked backlash across MAGA circles.

    The criticism has only intensified. The House Oversight Committee has now moved to subpoena Bondi, with a deposition scheduled for April 14, even as she and allies try to avoid testifying.

    Her Capitol Hill appearances haven’t helped. In a tense hearing, Bondi brushed off Epstein-focused criticism by saying Democrats were ignoring that “the Dow right now is over 50,000”—a remark that drew blowback from Republicans as well.

    Trump’s frustrations go beyond Epstein.

    He has complained that the Justice Department is not aggressive enough in going after his political enemies and has fumed over failed or nonexistent cases against figures like James Comey and Letitia James. In one social media post, he openly grumbled about the lack of indictments.

    Still, Trump is sending mixed signals. He continues to praise Bondi’s loyalty and remains in regular contact with her.

    If he does act, it would mark a shift. Trump had been wary of the kind of staff turnover that defined his first term—but aides say that’s changing after the “smooth” removal of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.

    Zeldin, a close ally, is already being discussed as a successor. “He’s our secret weapon,” Trump said. “He’s getting those approvals done in record setting time.”

    However, on Thursday morning, Politico’s Dasha Burns reported that Attorney General Pam Bondi will “will be out imminently” following Wednesday evening stories from CNN and The New York Times suggesting that Bondi would likely be leaving her post soon.

    “A person close to the White House tells Dasha that when Trump met EPA boss Lee Zeldin on Tuesday to discuss last year’s California wildfires, Trump also discussed the potential of tapping him for the AG role (CNN and the NYT last night both named Zeldin as the most likely successor.) A second person familiar with the situation tells Dasha that Bondi will be out imminently,” read Thursday’s edition of Politico Playbook.

    Report: Trump Considering Pulling Out Of NATO

    6

    President Trump said Wednesday that he is “absolutely” considering withdrawing the United States from the NATO military alliance and plans to address his concerns in a primetime Oval Office speech focused on the Iran war.

    “Oh, absolutely without question. Wouldn’t you do that if you were me?” Trump told Reuters reporter Steve Holland when asked whether he was weighing an exit from the transatlantic alliance.

    Trump’s comments followed remarks he made to The Telegraph, where he said NATO’s future is “beyond reconsideration” after European leaders restricted U.S. access to military bases during the monthlong Iran conflict and declined U.S. requests for naval support to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

    “I was never swayed ⁠by NATO. I always knew they were a paper ⁠tiger, and [Russian President Vladimir] Putin knows that too, by the way,” he said.

    For decades, NATO has been a cornerstone of U.S. foreign policy, binding the United States, Canada, and most major European nations to a collective defense agreement against external threats.

    During both of his terms, Trump has pressured NATO members to increase defense spending. Last year, he shifted the financial burden of U.S. weapons sent to Ukraine—though not a NATO member—onto allied nations to sustain Kyiv’s resistance against Russian forces.

    Any move to withdraw the U.S. from NATO would likely face strong bipartisan opposition. However, unilateral presidential withdrawal from international agreements has become more common, and Trump has previously exited treaties, including those related to climate change and arms control.

    In 2023, former President Joe Biden signed legislation coauthored by then-Sen. Marco Rubio—now Trump’s secretary of state—requiring congressional approval before any U.S. withdrawal from NATO. Trump could challenge that law, arguing it unconstitutionally limits presidential authority over military and diplomatic matters, a position his team has taken in other cases.

    The Senate originally ratified the NATO treaty in 1949 at the outset of the Cold War, and the alliance has remained a central counterweight to Russia’s influence in Eastern Europe.

    NATO members include the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Italy, Poland, and Turkey. The alliance expanded eastward after the Cold War, adding Poland in 1999 and Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania in 2004, bringing NATO to Russia’s borders.

    Tensions between the U.S. and its allies have intensified over the Iran conflict. Spain barred U.S. use of the jointly operated Rota naval base and Morón air base last month and, on Monday, closed its airspace to American warplanes.

    The United Kingdom “took far too much time” to approve U.S. use of its air bases and the Diego Garcia facility in the Indian Ocean, Trump said last month.

    Italy also denied U.S. military aircraft permission to land at its Sigonella air base in Sicily on Tuesday.

    Meanwhile, Germany criticized Trump for launching strikes against Iran without consulting NATO partners, and French President Emmanuel Macron stated, “France will never take part in operations to open or liberate the Strait of Hormuz.”

    Nancy Pelosi Claims Republicans May Hack Voting Machines and Create ‘Fake Count’ in Midterms

    Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is once again sounding alarms ahead of a major election—this time warning that Republicans aligned with Donald Trump could attempt to manipulate voting systems in the 2026 midterms.

    In a sit-down interview with MSNBC’s Ali Vitali, the former House Speaker—long one of Trump’s most vocal critics—predicted Democratic success in the upcoming elections but cautioned supporters to stay vigilant against what she suggested could be underhanded GOP tactics.

    “There are so many things that you can do to protect the election, and they are being done, whether it’s litigation or legislation or just mobilization, communication, all of that. But in addition to that, we have to be on guard as to what they may try to do to the technology. They may try to creep into the technology and create a false count,” Pelosi said.

    Pelosi, who has spent years opposing Trump and his political movement, framed her concerns as part of a broader battle over the integrity of American democracy. She has consistently accused Trump and his allies of undermining democratic norms—particularly following the 2020 election—and her latest comments reflect that ongoing distrust.

    Her remarks come as Democrats continue to push back against Republican-led redistricting efforts and the SAVE Act, a GOP-backed bill that would require stricter voter identification. While the legislation has passed the House, it faces steep odds in the Senate.

    Pelosi didn’t hold back in her assessment of Republicans’ motivations.

    “Pelosi accused Republicans of having ‘no commitment to the rule of law and doing things the appropriate way.’”

    Despite her warnings, Pelosi struck a confident tone about Democratic prospects, outlining what she sees as the party’s core mission heading into the midterms.

    “We have three purposes now. One is to win the midterm. Two is to make sure the elections are safe. And three, tell people what we will do when we win. That is the mission,” she said.

    The longtime Democratic leader also reflected on the party’s future, predicting that a woman will eventually become president—though she does not expect to see it herself. She credited Vice President Kamala Harris with energizing voters during the 2024 election cycle.

    “She turned out so many more people than who would have voted,” Pelosi said.

    Watch:
