PANICKED White House Holds DISASTER Press Conference… REFUSES TO ANSWER Reporter

Washington is on fire—and not in the good way. After weeks of economic turmoil triggered by Donald Trump’s so-called “Liberation Day” and a disastrous tariff war, the White House finally stepped up to address the chaos. But instead of clarity, Americans got a smoke screen—and a whole lot of gaslighting.

At the center of this press conference debacle was none other than Caroline Leavitt, Trump’s hand-picked Press Secretary and verbal contortionist extraordinaire. With the nation desperate for answers about the economic collapse—$10 trillion in wealth evaporated in just one week—Leavitt was trotted out to calm the public. Spoiler alert: she didn’t.

When asked whether the escalating feud between Elon Musk and Trump trade advisor Peter Navarro—whom Musk called “dumber than a sack of bricks”—was hurting the administration’s messaging, Leavitt brushed it off with a smirk and a phrase that should be permanently banned from political discourse: “Boys will be boys.”

It only went downhill from there.

As farmers in Iowa and other agricultural states braced for impact—tariffs on China were set to hit at midnight—Leavitt claimed with a straight face that “there won’t be any pain.” American farmers would likely disagree. With Iowa alone exporting $13.5 billion in agricultural products last year, the backlash could be catastrophic. Prices for everything from fertilizer to equipment parts are expected to soar.

Meanwhile, Trump continues to boast about winning golf tournaments at his own resorts as America’s 401(k)s implode. Even Fox News, Trump’s usual safe haven, has had to acknowledge the reality: the economy is in shambles, recession looms, and the administration is out of its depth.

Globally, the response has been just as damning. European allies are canceling defense contracts, Australian officials condemned the tariffs as “totally unwarranted,” and respected economists—from Wall Street to conservative think tanks—have pointed out glaring math errors in Trump’s tariff formulas.

The American Enterprise Institute called the White House’s justification “deeply flawed,” while Home Depot co-founder Ken Langone blasted the logic, saying: “I don’t understand the goddamn formula.” Comedian John Oliver even took it further, lampooning the White House’s economic math by comparing it to “measuring your house’s square footage using your dog’s age divided by your phone number.”

As the stock market teeters and America’s credibility crumbles, one thing is crystal clear: the White House is in panic mode, and instead of a plan, they’ve got press conferences that insult the intelligence of every American.

Stay tuned—this meltdown is far from over.
