Karoline Leavitt am I wrong to love her bluntness 😆?

Bluntness is an attribute that can be admired if you risk rubbing powerful people the wrong way - not when you amplify their message.

I second this 👏

Damn right. Well said 👏

Well yes, as an administration employee I expect her to follow the party line.

But I would also expect her to be briefed well enough, and smart enough to actually answer the questions people ask that pertain to the administrations initiatives. As someone on the inside of the administration, and as spokesperson, they should be well equipped to answer the press questions thoroughly whilst also keeping to the agreed party narrative. Just insulting people who ask questions that are difficult is not doing your job IMO.

shes thick as mince and just a mouthpiece. Dont care how qualified she is on paper , the fact she’s prepared to regurgitate Trumps nuts policies says it all for me.

I wouldn't call her a good speaker. She sticks like glue to her script and pre-prepared answers and almost never goes off piste, because she can't.

I suspect if she did deviate from the script she would stutter and run into trouble.

You are falling for the age old trick of populism, it's easy to for her while the audience is chosen and under complete control. Any real journalist has been barred from the press briefings and been replaced by unqualified influencers and bedroom broadcasters.

This is what you are cheering, the degradation of democracy and education. None of this is being sent to congress, everything is a controlled executive order.

America has trampled on its allies and you cheer, it's blamed the Ukraine for the war and you cheer, deported people who legally had the right to stay and you cheer, wages a trade war and you cheer despite the cost to normal people. I struggle with people like you because you are hell bent on burning everything decent for an ideology.

She’s just there to make false sound bites that can be replayed to MAGA’s. She’s vile.

She doesn't and shouldn't express 'views' but she should be telling the truth.

Surely that is her job though - to act as spokesperson for the president and say what the Trump administration want her to say. If she starts going off piste with an alternative view, she won't last very long in the job.

She really isn't. She learns lines, and she spouts them. She's not a good speaker because she doesn't tell the truth.

No truth or substance but exudes confidence, otherwise known as a CON(fidence) ARTIST.

She’ll say anything he tells her to.

Her confidence is , of course, impressive but I find her more of a puppet than an independent thinker. I wonder where her scruples would kick in. Will she genuinely say anything he tells her to? The Canada and Greenland stuff, we had a laugh about. But Trump could be truly dangerous. Where is her line?

This has to be a wind up surely!?! Are you for real?

Shes an awful communicator- on the basis she doesn’t actually answer any questions with any substance or explain anything. Just parrots Trumps’s inane BS about how it’ll all work out and the entire world has been screwing them for years etc. what we need from a press secretary is to actually provide context, colour and explanations so that the electorate (and rest of world) can get behind the initiatives- otherwise the expectation is to just blindly accept when Trump says “it’s gonna be a beautiful thing”… well okay, but what the hell does that actually mean or look like? How will the uS overcome the hurdles in the meantime? That’s what she should be answering with confidence and clarity. The fact she just insults media that ask difficult questions and never actually answers the question shows she is neither clever nor a good communicator IMO.

vile woman serving a vile administration.

I don't admire her lying and rudeness, but I do admire the confidence she exudes. she is a very good speaker.

This is exactly what makes this kind of politics attractive to stupid people. It’s easy to communicate when you aren’t restricted by the truth and there are no consequences (yet) to your actions.

She lies and obfuscates, she is part of a terrible cult seemingly determined to destroy their own country, cannot begin to comprehend why anyone would admire her.

But she lies. And she's rude, unkind and truly horrible on occasion. I think you need to do more research before simply admiring her for one characteristic

She appalls me

Well said.

Like her leader, she is crass, vulgar and unprofessional.

She works for the American people, not for trump. But appears to have overlooked that.

She is patronising, arrogant and a total liar. She wouldn't know what truth was if she tripped over it in the street.

She's a mouthpiece for the god awful Trump. One of his hand picked team. Need I say more?

Poison Barbie is a great moniker for her. Be careful about admiring her and set your bar higher.

And she is a lier, and lies more, lies with confidence. Agreed with the poster: zero honor, zero integrity, zero ethics. I don't understand how these people live with themselves.

She's a lying liar who lies, and the reason she treats the press so rudely is that they know she's lying.

The main thing to know about her is that she lies. As a mouthpiece for Trump, she's obliged to lie. Any decent American despises her.

Her supposed confident/bluntness is just a weapon against journalists seeking truthful answers.

She's rude and patronising.

All she is doing is saying what the Trump administration wants her to say. It's embarrassing and I often wonder how she'll feel looking back in a few years time.

Sadly yes, you are wrong 😂. She isn't blunt - she is downright rude. Just listen to her when someone dares to ask a question she hasn't already been tipped off about. She is definitely her master's voice.
