US President Donald Trump recently sat down with Newsmax for an interview, wherein he directly addressed a number of issues including a potential Diddy pardon, the so-called Epstein Files and Ghislaine Maxwell’s future. During that same interaction, he also gushed about his White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. While that may not be an uncommon feat, the way he did it and what he said left the Internet severely “disgusted” and uncomfortable.

Earlier this week, Leavitt spoke to reporters about how Trump had “brokered on average one peace deal per month during his six months in office,” crediting as a reason enough for his overdue Nobel Peace Prize. Reacting to those very statements of the 27-year-old press secretary, Trump just couldn’t stop himself from praising the White House official in the most unorthodox way possible.

“She’s become a star,” the 79-year-old leader said during the Friday interview broadcast. “It’s that face. It’s that brain. “It’s those lips, the way they move. They move like she’s a machine gun.” He went on further, calling her a “great person.” The hefty praise concluded with: “I don’t think anybody has ever had a better press secretary than Karoline. She’s been amazing.”

Internet reacts to Trump praising Karoline Leavitt: Affair speculation

The US president’s comments not only troubled social media users, but also brewed up a storm of speculations about the two possibly engaging in an affair behind closed doors. Merely days ago, Leavitt accompanied Trump on a visit to Scotland, and hailed it a “fantastic trip,” sharing photos – featuring the MAGA leader – on her social media.

X users were also quickly reminded of Monica Lewinsky, who infamously became a household name after her affair with Former President Bill Clinton was exposed in the 1990s. She was a White House intern at the time.

“Big Monica Lewinsky vibes,” commented Spencer Hakimia, the founder of Tolou Capital Management. Another user winced at the “disgusting” admission and wrote, “Just gross. This is what he thinks about when women work for him.”

Some people event went as far as labelling his statements as an exhibit of “sexual harassment.” An X user noted, “How disgusting and perverted @POTUS. How can you talk about your WH Press Secretary, @PressSec in that manner? You are dangerously close IF NOT breaking Sexual Harassment Laws according to @USDOL and the Office of Personnel Management.”

Trump’s Karoline Leavitt comment brings back Epstein link, Stormy Daniels scandal

On the other hand, Trump’s twisted praise for Karoline Leavitt further fuelled people’s belief about him being in the Epstein Files. “Are they having an affair?” someone wondered. A separate comment read, “This definitely sounds like something Jeffrey Epstein’s best friend would say.”

Someone else chimed in, “He’s never beating the rapist pedophile allegations.” (Contrary to the widely circulated claims, Trump hasn’t been formally charged for any wrongdoing or crime related to Epstein.)

Another netizens added, “When Trump talks about women, it’s almost always about their looks or sexuality. Rarely their intellect or accomplishments. That pattern makes his disturbing connection with Epstein, and their shared obsession with young girls, all the more believable.”

“Will ANYONE in the MSM ask him or the White House about this incredibly bizarre, creepy, cringey comment? Of course not,” added another user. “It’s amazing how his ‘super Christian-y’ base just love that he’s such a creepy old pervert.”

Some were also reminded of the whole Trump-Stormy Daniels scandal. The adult film star, who accused the US president of engaging in a hush-money settlement with her over an alleged sexual encounter, testified last year that Trump once told her “she reminded him of his daughter” Ivanka. As per Daniels’ account, the MAGA leader blurted out those comments minutes after allegedly getting sexually involved with her.
