Thu Jan 23 02:30:00 IST 2025: ## Trump’s New Press Secretary Sparks Outrage with Hyperbolic Praise
**Washington, D.C.** – Karoline Leavitt, the newly appointed White House press secretary, has faced widespread criticism following her effusive praise of Donald Trump on Fox News. Leavitt, the youngest person ever to hold the position, declared that Trump’s administration has “truth on our side” and that he has already accomplished more in less than 24 hours than his predecessor did in four years. These comments, made while teasing an upcoming infrastructure announcement, were met with immediate backlash.
Trump announced a new private sector investment in AI-focused infrastructure, a development that contrasts with his previous administration’s failure to deliver on promised infrastructure projects. However, Leavitt’s statements were widely condemned as hyperbole and propaganda, with critics drawing parallels to the rhetoric employed by authoritarian regimes like North Korea. The Washington Post’s reporting of over 30,000 false statements made by Trump during his first term further fueled this criticism.
Social media reacted with a mixture of disbelief and outrage, with many users comparing Leavitt’s pronouncements to those of state-controlled media. The comments highlight the sharp partisan divide in the current political climate and raise concerns about the future of truthful communication from the White House.
