Donald Trump jokes about Karoline Leavitt prioritizing children over him

President Donald Trump made remarks regarding outgoing press secretary Karoline Leavitt, stating, “She decided she loved her children more than she loved Donald Trump. I’m very upset about this.”

Speaking at the White House, Trump noted that Leavitt is leaving her position to spend time with her family following the birth of her second child in May. While Trump expressed respect for her decision in a Truth Social post, he repeated a joke he had previously made during a rally in South Carolina earlier in the week.

The repetition of the comment has drawn scrutiny on social media, with some observers questioning the intent behind the remarks.
