Welp, another prominent member of the Trump administration is on her way out. And before you go trying to collect your winnings for bets you placed that U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro would receive her walking papers and complimentary boxed wine after the embarrassing reflecting pool fiasco — nope, it’s not her. Instead, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has announced her resignation, meaning President Donald Trump is going to have to find someone else to parrot the most absurd lies in the history of U.S. politics with a straight face, and then feign indignation when they fail to convince the public that Trump is capable of being honest about literally anything.
On Wednesday, Trump announced on Truth Social that Leavitt is stepping down to “spend more time with her beautiful young children and family.”
And just like when Pam Bondi and Kristi Noem got the ax, Trump felt the need to conjure up some alternative position to claim Leavitt will be taking to serve his government from outside of the government, lest it become even more abundantly clear that his dysfunctional administration is engaging in a perpetual game of MAGA Musical Chairs.
“Karoline will now be one of my top outside advisors, and an influential voice within the Republican Party, as we work to defy History, and conclusively win the Midterm Elections,” Trump wrote. (I’m not sure how the GOP winning the midterms they are projected to lose would defy history, but Trump, as usual, appears to mentally be defying reality.)
Leavitt, of course, also cited her new baby as her reason for stepping down.
Now, look, it may very well be true that Leavitt is only leaving Trump because “after the birth of my daughter, I have felt in my heart that I cannot be the best mom my two young children deserve while devoting the constant time, energy, and attention required of the White House Press Secretary,” as she tweeted. But, man, there has to be at least some part of her that is relieved she won’t have to spend her days wiping Trump’s butt with her ever-dwindling integrity, consistently making herself look stupid, not necessarily because she is stupid, but because it’s her job to say the thing Trump said and do her best to make it sound plausible, which is impossible, because it’s always so objectively stupid.
