US Kaitlan Collins Karoline Leavitt
CNN’s Kaitlan Collins dared question Trump’s claims about the US economy and Karoline Leavitt’s meltdown said it all
To the US where Donald Trump continues to insist that the American people have basically never had it so good, while at the same time suggesting they might need to ration the Christmas presents they buy for their kids because, you know, money is tight and all that.
So how can those two things be simultaneously true, wondered CNN’s estimable White House reporter Kaitlan Collins.
And White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt’s resultant meltdown was surely far more revealing than she intended it to be.
First here.

“[I]f we want products made right here in America, if we want them to be made from American small businesses… Maybe you’ll pay a dollar or 2 more but you will get better quality and you’ll be supporting your fellow Americans.”
