Pressed on corruption allegations against Trump, Karoline Leavitt offers pitiful defense

Even before a foreign government eager to curry favor with the White House offered Donald Trump a superluxury Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet, those concerned with the president and corruption allegations focused their attention on his outlandish meme coin gambit, which has proved to be quite lucrative, which appears to have created influence opportunities that foreigners have reportedly taken advantage of, and which has been fairly described as “the most brazenly corrupt thing a president has ever done.”

It’s against this backdrop that Trump is preparing to leave for the Middle East — his first major foreign trip of his second term — and a reporter asked White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt whether the president intends to meet with the Trump Organization’s business partners in the region. She apparently didn’t care for the line of inquiry.

“I think it’s frankly ridiculous that anyone in this room would even suggest that President Trump is doing anything for his own benefit,” Leavitt argued. “He left a life of luxury and a life of running a very successful real estate empire for public service, not just once but twice.”

Leavitt went on to claim, with a straight face, that Trump “has actually lost money for being president of the United States.”
