"It's That Face, Those Lips": Trump's Praise For White House Press Secretary Sparks Controversy

“She’s become a star,” Trump said, but his remarks about her looks triggered a major backlash online.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump is once again in the spotlight for his controversial remarks — this time, directed at his White House Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, during a recent interview.

🔥 Trump’s Comment Goes Viral

“She’s become a star,” Trump said.
“It’s that face. It’s that brain. It’s those lips, the way they move. They move like she’s a machine gun.”

His words quickly drew criticism on social media, with users calling the comment “creepy,” “inappropriate,” and “objectifying.”

📱 Social Media Reacts

The clip went viral across platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram. Some users drew comparisons to the Monica Lewinsky scandal, while others questioned Trump’s past associations, including with Jeffrey Epstein.

  • “Big Monica Lewinsky vibes,” one user commented.
  • Another wrote, “He’s a creepy old man… major yikes.”

Others referenced Trump’s alleged presence in redacted Epstein documents, further stoking the controversy.

🏛️ Who is Karoline Leavitt?

At 27, Karoline Leavitt is the fifth person to serve as Press Secretary under Trump and the first of his second term.

During a recent press briefing, she praised the former president, saying:

“President Trump has brokered, on average, about one peace deal or ceasefire per month during his six months in office. It’s well past time he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.”

⚠️ Past Controversies Resurface

Trump continues to face scrutiny over his past ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Critics have accused federal agencies of protecting powerful names by redacting key details from released documents. Trump has denied any wrongdoing and said he severed ties with Epstein years ago.

💬 A Moment of Misjudgment?

While supporters see Trump’s comments as harmless praise, critics argue it reduces a high-ranking government official to her looks.

The controversy adds to the growing debate about how women in politics and media are portrayed — especially by those in power.
