NextImg:Leavitt’s Briefing Blunder Accidentally Undoes Key Trump Policy, Sparks Mockery Online
LOADINGERROR LOADING

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt faced mockery on Wednesday after another apparent slip-up during a press briefing.

Leavitt stated that President Donald Trump is “committed to passing a big reconciliation package later this year,” which includes “ending no taxes on tips.”

Leavitt says Trump is committed to "ending no taxes on tips"

Critics quickly seized on the phrase, interpreting it as an accidental double negative that contradicted Trump’s 2024 election campaign promise to nix taxes on tips. Trump is yet to implement the policy.

Leavitt on Monday drew similar mockery after she accidentally claimed the Department of Justice will focus on “fighting law and order” when “fighting for law and order” was likely what she meant.

Many people have problems with double negatives but Karoline Leavitt seems to struggle with single negatives.

She really is the right one for Trump

Hmm. It’s almost as if she’s completely unprepared and grossly incompetent.

So it won't happen? MAGA fell for it again.

Well, if you take her literally then I agree.

So not committed to ending taxes on tips, but committed to ending no taxes on tips. So he's committed to ending his own policy that he never instituted in the first place, got it.
