Trump Reveals Who He Blames for His Bad Press, Accuses Them of ‘Doing a Terrible Job’ | Just Jared: Celebrity News and Gossip
Trump said 93% to 97% of coverage about him is negative and joked that Karoline Leavitt may be doing a poor job.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump criticized media coverage during an Oval Office press conference, claiming he receives between 93% and 97% negative press while jokingly questioning if White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is "doing a poor job."
- Leavitt had previously addressed media coverage during her Monday briefing, calling reports on the killing of 18-year-old Sheridan Gorman "despicable," which aligned with Trump's complaints about "dishonest" legacy outlets.
- Trump argued that consistently negative coverage demonstrates "people don't believe the media," framing his political success as evidence that voters reject unfavorable headlines he labels "fake press."
- Despite the viral social media reaction, Trump clarified during the briefing that he intends to retain Leavitt, dismissing any notion of firing her after the lighthearted jab.
- Broader data from the Pew Research Centre indicates declining public confidence in national news organizations, a trend Trump frequently cites to defend his adversarial relationship with the press.
