During Tuesday’s White House Press Briefing, a anxious change unfolded between Karoline Leavitt and Associated Press writer Josh Boak. The fight began when Boak raised a question about President Trump’s noticeable change from advocating for tax breaks on the campaign trail to proposing taxes, which he framed as” income excursions”.

Boak began by asking,” When President Trump next addressed the BRT, when he was on the campaign trail, his large push was on tax cuts. He’s going that now as he’s proposing tax excursions in the form of taxes”.
Lake quickly pushed again, asserting,” He’s not doing that”.
But Boak continued with the fake idea. ” And I’m wondering why he’s prioritizing that over the tax reduces”?
” He’s basically not implementing income hikes”, she continued. ” Taxes are a tax hike on foreign nations that, again, have been ripping us off. Taxes are a tax cut for the American citizens. And the leader is a staunch advocate of tax breaks. As you know, he campaigned on no income on recommendations, no taxes on time, no income on Social Security benefits”.

” He is committed to all three of those issues and expects Congress to pass them after this time”, Leavitt added.
But Boak wasn’t done and proceeded to obtain self-righteous:” I’m guilty, have you ever paid a price? Because I have. They don’t getting charged on overseas firms, they get charged on the manufacturers”.

Leavitt didn’t recoil. Otherwise, she responded with a pointed note that reiterated her earlier level about the broader economic benefits. ” And finally, when we have good and healthy trade, which the British people have not seen in decades, revenues will be here, wages will get away, and our country may be made affluent again”.
Therefore, in what was perhaps the most dramatic time of the trade, Leavitt drove a play through the center of Boak’s line of questioning. ” And I think it’s disrespectful that you are trying to test my understanding of economy and the choices that this leader has made”, she said, her voice company. ” I presently regret giving a problem to the Associated Press”.
With that, Lake not only destroyed Boak’s sad issue but brilliantly turned the desks, making him and his Democrat-approved line of questioning look positively foolish. His transparent attempt to question her grasp of economics and President Trump’s policies backfired spectacularly, which left him stammering while she moved on to legitimate questions with the grace of a seasoned pro.

This embarrassing display perfectly exemplifies why the Associated Press has become a shadow of its former self. Instead of maintaining its once-respected position as an independent news source, it’s devolved into nothing more than a propaganda machine for the Democratic Party. It’s too busy recycling stale Democratic National Committee talking points and playing “gotcha” games with the Trump administration to do actual journalism. The contrast couldn’t be clearer — while Biden’s incompetent press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, fumbled through her massive binder like a lost freshman, Leavitt demonstrates what real preparation and conservative principles look like.
