‘STUPID QUESTION': Trump Press Sec INSULTS Reporter Over LA Riot Question | Leavitt Stuns Press Room

During a heated press conference, Trump Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stunned reporters by calling a question from journalist Jasmine Wright “stupid.” Wright had asked whether Trump supports peaceful protests at his upcoming birthday military parade. Leavitt initially affirmed Trump’s support for the First Amendment but then turned combative, accusing Democrats of tolerating unrest. The press room moment, caught on camera, left Wright visibly shocked and sparked criticism of Leavitt’s tone. The administration also addressed ongoing anti-ICE protests, boasting about recent arrests as tensions rise nationwide. #KarolineLeavitt #TrumpPressSecretary #WhiteHouse #JasmineWright #PressFreedom #JournalismMatters #PoliticalTensions #TrumpProtests #FirstAmendment #PeacefulProtests #MediaClash #NOTUSNews #ReporterInsult #PressConferenceDrama #FreedomOfSpeech #TrumpBirthdayParade #WashingtonDC #ICEProtests #LawEnforcement #MolotovCocktail #ProtestRights #USPolitics #WhiteHouseBriefing #BreakingNews #TrumpSupporters #ReporterVsPressSecretary #LeavittVsMedia #MediaBacklash #AntiICEProtests #FreePress #LARiot Also Read To Secure Rare Earth Minerals...: US Prez Donald Trump Announces 55% Tariff Hike On Chinese Goods :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/to-secure-rare-earth-minerals-us-prez-donald-trump-announces-55-tariff-hike-on-chinese-goods-4178549.html?ref=DMDesc Went Too Far: Elon Musk Expresses 'Regrets' Over Posts On US President Trump :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/went-too-far-elon-musk-expresses-regrets-over-posts-on-us-president-donald-trump-4178235.html?ref=DMDesc US Deploys 700 Marines To Los Angeles As Immigration Protests Intensify Against Trump's Diktat :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-deploys-700-marines-to-los-angeles-as-immigration-protests-intensify-against-trumps-diktat-4176947.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.420~

‘You Will NOT Succeed…’ U.S Press Secretary’s BLASTS ‘Illegal Alliens’ | LA Riots | Anti-ICE Protest

During a fiery White House press briefing, Fox News correspondent Alexandria Hoff pressed Trump Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt with a provocative question: “Does the president see himself as a king?” Hoff was referencing the upcoming “No Kings Day” protest planned for Trump’s birthday military parade, aimed at criticizing ICE raids and authoritarian optics. Leavitt, unfazed, dismissed the premise as “absurd” and reaffirmed Trump’s respect for the Constitution. She also slammed Democrats for politicizing American symbols and defended the parade as a “celebration of freedom, not royalty.” #TrumpPressBriefing #KarolineLeavitt #NoKingsDay #FoxNews #AlexandriaHoff #TrumpMilitaryParade #WhiteHouseDrama #ICEProtests #AmericanFlag #KingTrump #PoliticalSatire #FirstAmendment #MediaFireworks #WashingtonProtests #ReporterVsPressSec #FreePress #ConstitutionalDebate #TrumpBirthdayEvent #RightToProtest #USPolitics #oneindianews #oneindiaenglish #breakingnews #worldnews #englishnewslive #englishnews #latestnews #news ~HT.410~ED.194~

LA Riots Breaking: Mayor Bass Slams Trump’s Marine Invasion as Immigration Protests Turn Volatile

As immigration protests erupt across Los Angeles, Mayor Karen Bass has sharply criticized President Trump’s decision to deploy 700 U.S. Marines and thousands of National Guard troops to the city, calling it a dangerous and provocative overreach. The protests, initially sparked by federal immigration raids, have escalated into volatile confrontations, with tear gas, rubber bullets, and widespread chaos in downtown LA.

Trump Calls Reporter “Evil” Over Texas Flood Warning Question, Defends FEMA Funding And Abbott

President Donald Trump lashed out at a reporter during a Texas flood roundtable, calling the question about lack of early warnings “very evil.” Visiting Central Texas following massive flash floods that left over 100 dead, Trump praised FEMA and Governor Greg Abbott’s response team, pledging swift federal aid. The Texas “Flash Flood Alley” region suffered rapid water surges, catching communities unprepared. Trump claimed “fully funded within minutes” and commended responders. He reiterated that such rapid flooding was unprecedented, dismissing criticisms. Republican Rep. Chip Roy defended him, calling the question “ridiculous.” Trump also avoided answer on future FEMA role. With casualties including at least 27 campers in Kerr County, the event highlighted his administration's partnership with Texas officials. His remarks stirred controversy over leadership tone and disaster preparedness in face of growing climate disasters. #Trump #TexasFloods #FlashFloodAlley #TrumpVsReporter #FEMA #GregAbbott #CrisisResponse #TrumpSlamsReporter #TexasDisaster #FloodWarnings #Evacuation #TexasHillCountry #DisasterFunding #ClimateCrisis #TrumpRoundtable #FloodVictims #KerrCounty #MediaScrutiny #RepublicanDefense #FloodPreparedness ~HT.410~ED.103~GR.124~
