Ms Leavitt posted an emotional message of gratitude and praise – made with AI.
Serving as the White House Press Secretary over the past year and a half has been the honor and adventure of a lifetime. I am incredibly grateful to President Trump for granting me so many extraordinary opportunities, such as working in the West Wing and spending countless hours… https://t.co/4jyW61DGGh pic.twitter.com/xny1yccuBn

We’re sure she’s leaving the job she claims is a huge honour, and which she loves so much, so she can spend more time with her family, and not because she’s in a massive (and justified) strop because Trump escaped to a safe plane via a catering truck, leaving her with the rest of the fodder on Target Force One.
Scoop: Trump flew secretly from Turkey on an alternate military aircraft unbeknownst to journalists and some White House staff members who believed they were on the same plane as the president, The Post has learned. w/ @DanLamothe @abtran & @joyceslee https://t.co/CZqvHnfi44

Karoline Leavitt announced her resignation 24 hours after she found out that Trump left her for dead on a plane he thought could be shot out of the sky. https://t.co/5lMz9MiSSQ

I guess Karoline wasn’t a fan of being left to die on the old AF1 while Trump was scuttled to another plane via catering truck.
Also it says her post was “Made with AI” 🤣
Good riddance to the worst press secretary in U.S. history. https://t.co/lxh0Pf74Dc

Poor Karoline it’s got to really suck knowing your supreme leader left you on the decoy plane while he took his young blond diaper changer with him.
