Gavin Newsom Turns Karoline Leavitt’s Trump Briefing Into A Masterclass In Shade

Karoline Leavitt's recent press briefing quickly devolved into chaos, reminiscent of a reality show reunion, as she attempted to provide a routine update on the president's renovation initiatives. Her enthusiastic defense of a $300 million demolition project at the White House, intended to create a ballroom for Trump, left many unsure if she was serious or joking. The moment sparked widespread surprise online, especially when California Governor Gavin Newsom chimed in with a sharp, three-word remark that sent social media into a frenzy.On July 31, Trump unveiled plans for a ballroom, while also announcing a transformation of the Rose Garden, which included replacing its grass with cement. Newsom's sarcastic online response to Leavitt's comments was echoed by numerous critics, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who mocked the extravagant project funded by major corporations. Amidst the backlash, the White House's Rapid Response account defended Leavitt, attempting to clarify her statements while the renovation sparked disbelief and criticism across platforms.
