Karoline Leavitt in Donald Trump’s phone number joke as she announces ‘my last gaggle’ | World | News
Karoline Leavitt had joked that many members of the press knew Donald Trump’s mobile phone number after the US President’s recent speech to many news sources. The heavily pregnant press secretary is expected to give birth to her second child next week, according to a White House official.
Speaking to the press, probably for the last time before giving birth, the woman said: “I know you all have the President’s telephone number, so I have no doubt that you will be short of explanations and news from this building while I am away.” He added: “This will probably be my last joke for a while.” “As you can see, I’m ready to have a baby at any time, so see you very soon.”
Since the start of the war in late February, President Trump has reportedly made phone calls to more than 30 journalists, including the BBC.
There are regular social media posts featuring “exclusive” interviews with the US president. Accordingly TimesHis personal number is widely distributed among journalists and political figures in Washington, making it surprisingly easy for reporters to call him directly, and he frequently answers, offering off-hand comments that can quickly turn into headlines.
Earlier, a BBC reporter was stunned after calling the US President for a phone call in which they discussed the war in Iran and the state of the so-called special relationship between his country and the UK.
“I just spoke to Donald Trump on the phone,” said BBC North America editor Sarah Smith. The Scottish radio and TV journalist added that he was shocked by the way they answered his call.
He said: “I rang his number and he answered by saying ‘hello’.”
And earlier this month the US President told Sky US correspondent Mark Stone that Britain had been “occupied” and that he “won’t succeed” with his current approach.
During the five-minute phone call, Trump said he was looking forward to welcoming King Charles and Queen Camilla to the White House and insisted his strained relationship with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer would not affect the visit.
