Karoline Leavitt was asked for Trump’s reaction to the South Korea election results and her response is a devastating snapshot of how the White House works right now
It’s a fair assumption that we’ve never begun a post about South Korea election results – but there’s a first for everything, right? – where oopposition leader Lee Jae-myung triumphed in the vote after months of martial law chaos.
But that’s not why we’re here. Well, it is, but it’s more about the White House’s response after a reporter quite reasonably asked for Donald Trump’s response to the breaking news.
And press secretary Karoline Leavitt’s response – stick with it – is a magnificent snapshot of how the White House is working (or not) right now.

Karoline saying “we do” and then immediately following it with “we do not” is the most honest accidental summary of this administration’s foreign policy: confused, unprepared, and trying to fake it with a binder full of nothing.
Pam Bondi did that with Epstein files. It’s their…

i remember when the president’s press sec having to check a binder in response to a press question was evidence of staff being “handlers” https://t.co/YWOeirfhWt

Q: Does the White House have a reaction to the election results in South Korea?
WH Press Secretary Leavitt: “Yes, we do. In fact, Let me find it for you. It should be somewhere here. Thank you. Um. We do not.”
A total clown show.
