President Donald Trump, 79, an adjudicated rapist, serial adulterer and alleged pedophile was asked by Newsmax host Rob Finnerty about White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt’s, 27, performance during her daily press briefings.
Considering that his administration is embroiled in the controversy over his ties to convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, the septuagenarian should have tried to assuage the fears within his own camp that he’s a lecherous old fool by answering like the CEO of a corporation and not the owner pimp of a brothel.
He should have replied: she clearly conveys information, context, and policy to White House correspondents, so they understand my administration’s positions. We know that Leavitt is a hack who channels the Korean news anchor infamous for her enthusiastic and emotional praise of the Dear Leader, but a president can be forgiven for an exaggerated evaluation of his aide.
But Trump should not be forgiven for his sexist and inappropriate response:
“It’s that face. It’s that brain. It’s those lips, the way they move. They move like she’s a machine gun.”
I am also fascinated by Leavitt’s lips, but not in a sexual way. Those lying lips, they indeed move like a machine gun; her rapid-fire delivery eviscerates reporters who dare question the racist and authoritarian policies of her boss.
A CEO who publicly extolled the physical attributes of a subordinate would be summarily fired. It is too bad that the Republican controlled Congress will never impeach and remove Trump from office.
