AI-Generated Summary

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt debunks three fake news claims within the first week of President Trump's second term, highlighting misunderstandings and misinformation from the media.

We're only a little over one week into President Trump's second term, and already the Press Secretary's office has had to debunk three "fake news hoaxes."

"Debunking Latest Fake News Hoaxes," reads the press release from The Office of Communications.

"President Donald J. Trump has been subjected to more manufactured Fake News hoaxes than any president in history," the memo explains, "and it hasn't gotten any better in his second term."

It starts with the biggie:

HOAX: Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT), Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), and media outlets claim President Trump's directive to pause radical, wasteful government spending means an end to Medicaid, food assistance, and other individual assistance programs.

FACT: Individual federal assistance programs -- such as Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP, and other important programs -- are explicitly excluded, as was made clear by Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and a memo from the Office of Management and Budget. Only unnecessary spending -- such as DEI, the Green New Scam, and funding nongovernmental organizations that undermine the national interest -- are included in President Trump's directive.

In their defense, some in the regime media are simply too stupid to understand what the administration is doing with this memo. Untold billions of tax dollars are funneled to bureaucrats who, for some reason, have the power to fund whatever they want. Instead of detailing where the money goes, Congress gives the money to bureaucrats and says, "Run with it."

That is the money this memo paused for 90 days in order to make sure that Deep State traitors are not giving 1) money not directed by Congress to 2) organizations that oppose the president's agenda.

A good example is the billions sent to NGOs to aid and abet illegal immigration.

Naturally, the fake media are either too young and stupid to grasp how this works, or they are straight up lying with this nonsense about how school lunches and Social Security will be cut off.

Here is Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt talking to the media like the idiots they are:

Here's hoax number two:

HOAX: Gov. JB Pritzker (D-IL) and Chicago Public Schools officials claimed, without bothering to verify, that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents had conducted a "raid" at a local elementary school -- a false claim echoed by media outlets, including the Chicago Tribune.

FACT: It was actually the U.S. Secret Service investigating a threat unrelated to immigration.

What we had here were idiots in the media taking dictation from a fat slime like Pritzker.

And hoax number three:

HOAX: A "physicians advocacy group" was widely cited as opposing President Trump's nomination of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., to lead the Department of Health and Human Services.

FACT: The "advocacy group" is an astroturfed partisan organization funded by prominent left-wing donors that accepts fake signatures -- and fake signatories -- on its "open letter."

It's good to see the White House Press Office aim directly at the fake media using correct terms like "fake news" and "hoax."

The corporate media are not media. They are sociopathic political adversaries willing to do anything to bring Trump down, including spewing inflammatory rhetoric -- smearing him as a "dictator," "fascist," and "Nazi" -- that created a ripe environment for two assassination attempts.
