President Donald Trump triggered a fresh wave of controversy after delivering what many online are calling a “creepy”, overly personal and uncomfortable tribute to campaign press secretary Karoline Leavitt. Trump praised Leavitt’s “beautiful face”, spotlighted her lips and described her on-air delivery as “like a little machine gun”, sparking instant backlash across political and media circles. Critics say the remarks were wildly inappropriate and overshadowed the evening’s attempts at discussing policy and economic issues. Social media erupted within minutes, with users mocking Trump’s fixation, calling the comments “disgusting”, “weird” and “unfit for office”. WATCH
