Summary

AP reporter Josh Boak clashed with White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt over Trump’s tariff policy, which she called “a tax cut for the American people.”

Boak challenged her claim: “I’m sorry, have you ever paid a tariff? Because I have. They don’t get charged on foreign companies, they get charged on importers,” Boak said.

Leavitt accused him of questioning her economic knowledge and later regretted calling on AP.

The tense exchange highlights ongoing White House-AP tensions, as a federal judge prepares to hear AP’s legal challenge over press access on March 20.

    I think it’s funny not in the “dumb blonde” way, but the “Trump prefers blondes, so DEI hires will be young attractive blonde white women now” way.

    At least they are not hiring kids for the same reason.

      Trump is a simple man. Maybe it was never about fucking kids. Maybe it was always about fucking Ivanka. This lady appears to be same age as Ivanka. I know she’s not; but she looks haggard enough to be her age. And it’s all about looking like Ivanka, not about being a kid or being the actual age of Ivanka.

      He told Katie Johnson she reminded him of Ivanka. And then he raped her.

        I get it, but shacking up with grown women 30 years younger is just sad in a way that he was unable to find someone who would love him in all his life as he views women as possessions.

        Raping kids on the other hand is one of the lowliest crimes both legally and morally.
