Nobody could remember the James S. Brady briefing Room that was so full, while the new secretary of the White House Pers Secretary Karoline Leavitt entered the Leeuwenhol on Tuesday.
Journalists were pressed into the same sardines, without elbow space for writing. “This is epic,” someone said. “I think I might be fainting.”
After a long sleep during the Biden years, many of the reporters suddenly seemed ready to jump today.
For Leavitt, at the age of 27, the youngest press secretary of the White House in history, the effort of her first briefing could not have been higher.
Increasing the pressure, the most important member of her live national audience – the president himself – was closely monitored on TV.
In the past, some of those who have tried this political mission are impossible for trying – speaking for Donald Trump in Washington – poorly stumbled.
Trump's first press secretary Sean Spicer was mercilessly ridiculed on Saturday Night Live. Former communication director of the White House, Anthony Scaramucci, lasted only 10 days in the work.
However, Leavitt will last a lot of 'scaramuccis' on this proof.
Indeed, a new Maga star was born in her first performance.
Nobody could remember the James S. Brady briefing Room, while the new Minister of White House Pers Secretary Karoline Leavitt (depicted) entered the Leeuwenhol on Tuesday.
Increasing the pressure, the most important member of her living national audience – the president himself (depicted here with Leavitt on Air Force One) – Note TV closely.
Journalists were pressed into the same sardines, without elbow space for writing. “This is epic,” someone said. “I think I might be fainting.”
Under a continuing media attack, Leavitt was polished, professional, confident and blunder -free, presumably to the annoyance of some of its left -wing inquisiteurs.
She quietly sent dozens of questions and showed that she had the facts within reach.
Only once did she resort to the infamous slogan of her predecessor Karine Jeane -Pierre – “I can't be the president for his” – to prevent him from answering an investigation.
President Trump, always with a view to how events appear on television, must have realized that he has chosen wisely.
At 1.05 pm Leavitt walked into the briefing space behind a sliding blue door.
“Good afternoon everyone, how are you?” She said sunny. “Good to be with you.”
She started by displaying two screens a rogues' gallery of 'horrible' rapists, murderers and pedophiles who have been arrested and deported in the first days of Trump.
Leavitt then hit every large Maga -nut and stated that 'common sense has been restored', and that 'Trump is everywhere again'.
Then she hit the 'Legacy Media' where it hurt and announced that the row of briefing rooms closest to her own desk, usually occupied by the White House staff, would now be filled by 'new media' sales points.
Social media influencers and content makers can attend her briefings, she said.
So more than 400 journalists who have removed their passes through the Biden administration will.
Social media influencers and content makers can attend her briefings, Leavitt said. (Shown: reporters on the first briefing from Leavitt).
A murmur went around the already packed room when the lighting spaces wondered where the newcomers would be.
Leavitt turned the tables on the media and said she would call them to account.
“I connect to tell the truth from this stage every day,” she said. “I hope you will stick to the same standard.”
She said lies during the previous government were told “to your faces in this room.”
At 1.14 pm she took her first question, which came from the political website Axios and it concentrated on the Chinese AI Startup Company Deepseek, which shocked Wall Street on Monday by publishing a new product that a sale of $ 1 trillion of USS Tech had activated shares.
She easily gave away the concern and stated that there was nothing to do, because President Trump would reach 'Ai -Dominance' for America.
Many of the subsequent questions were on Trump's announcement that he pauses federal subsidies to assess whether the money goes to dei programs.
“I have now set four times …,” said Leavitt. But unlike some of her predecessors, she did not lose her cool. She still smiled.
Just as a TV reporter suggested that sneaking in the US was a 'bourgeois crime', she quickly corrected him. “It's a federal crime,” she said.
Another implied that half of the illegal immigrants who have so far been arrested under the government of Trump were not criminals.
Leavitt said again politely and said that “they were all” because they “violated our laws.”

When CNN asked for dismissal at the Ministry of Justice, Leavitt responded by quoting an obscure legal precedent that allows Trump to 'dismiss everyone he wants'.
And when it came to the prize of eggs, she blamed former President Joe Biden for the 'Massamoord of 100 million chickens'.
In another shot on the ex-president, she added; “Joe Biden was in office, or sleeping upstairs, I'm not sure.”
Nobody is now addicted to the White House, especially not the new press secretary, claimed Leavitt, warning that she will work with 'super speeds'.
“I hope you are all ready to work very hard,” she told the journalists.
By the time she finished with people in the room, they ate from her hand.
“You look great,” a question started. “Thank you,” Leavitt said.
President Trump has found his new TV star.
