‘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 [Video]

‘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~

'Send Them to Gitmo': Trump Readies INFAMOUS Prison For 9,000 Detainees, Including Ukrainians [Video]

'Send Them to Gitmo': Trump Readies INFAMOUS Prison For 9,000 Detainees, Including Ukrainians

Trump reportedly plans to send undocumented migrants—including Ukrainian war refugees—to Guantanamo Bay, a military facility infamous for holding terror suspects. The Biden-era program that offered sanctuary to Ukrainians fleeing war may be rolled back, with deportation or detention now on the table. Medical screenings for 9,000 detainees are underway ahead of transfers to Cuba. The move is part of Trump's broader immigration crackdown—targeting 3,000 arrests a day—and could revoke protections for 240,000 Ukrainians. The use of Guantanamo has sparked outrage due to its controversial history and lack of foreign government notification. #Trump #Guantanamo #ImmigrationPolicy #UkrainianRefugees #MigrantCrisis #Deportation #BidenProgram #RefugeeRights #GuantanamoBay #HumanRights #ImmigrationNews #UndocumentedMigrants #USPolitics #ControversialPolicy #CubaDetention #BreakingNews #ICERaids #Trump2024 #UkraineWar #RefugeeCrisis #TrumpPlan #AsylumSeekers #GuantanamoReturn #DetentionCenter #MigrantRights #TortureHistory #GlobalReactions #TrumpVsImmigrants #ImmigrationCrackdown #RefugeesUnderThreat #USBorderPolic 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.194~

Russia Accuses Quad Nations Of ‘Forcing’ India Into Military Bloc, Urges Revival Of RIC Alliance [Video]

Russia Accuses Quad Nations Of ‘Forcing’ India Into Military Bloc, Urges Revival Of RIC Alliance

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has accused Quad nations — the US, Japan, and Australia — of dragging India into a de facto military alliance, despite Delhi’s stated focus on economic ties. Speaking at a Eurasian security forum, Lavrov warned of coordinated naval drills aimed at militarizing Quad beyond its original scope. He also pushed to revive the dormant Russia-India-China (RIC) trilateral platform, asserting that Western powers are deliberately stoking Indo-China tensions by reframing the region as "Indo-Pacific" with anti-China goals. His remarks signal Moscow’s shifting strategic focus in Asia. #RussiaQuad #IndiaQuad #LavrovStatement #RICAlliance #IndiaChina #IndoPacific #RussiaIndiaChina #Geopolitics #QuadMilitary #MoscowDiplomacy #GlobalShifts #AsiaPacific #QuadTensions #RICRevival #LavrovWarning #GalwanClash #IndiaChinaBorder #WesternStrategies #MilitaryDrills #RussiaIndiaRelations Also Read India Rebukes Pakistan Over Indus Waters Treaty Remarks At UN Forum: 'Appalled' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/india-rebukes-pakistan-over-indus-waters-treaty-remarks-at-un-forum-appalled-4169437.html?ref=DMDesc Russia: Bridge Collapse Derails Train, At Least 7 Confirmed Dead :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-bridge-collapse-derails-train-at-least-7-confirmed-dead-4169275.html?ref=DMDesc Adani Ports taps its Largest Ever Domestic bond - 5,000 crore 15-year NCD :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/apsez-secures-inr-5000-crore-via-non-convertible-debentures-012-4168661.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~
