President Donald Trump's press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, just committed her "biggest unforced error" yet, according to one Democratic analyst,.
Progressive YouTuber Brian Tyler Cohen said on Thursday during a new episode of his eponymous podcast that Leavitt made the error during her daily press briefing. In response to a question about other planned renovations at the White House, Leavitt claimed that the "ballroom is really the president's main priority."
Cohen argued that this slip-up inadvertently revealed that Trump no longer plans on "delivering for regular people."
"The actual point is that this is where Trump's focus is," Cohen said. "He spent the entire campaign swearing up and down that he was focused on regular people, on rent and housing and groceries and eggs, but it was complete bulls---.
"This is what he's focused on: a ballroom that none of us will ever use, a $400 million Qatari jet retrofitted to the tune of $1 billion that none of us will ever use, two Gulfstream jets that cost $172 million that none of us will ever use, crypto dinners that have led to him doubling his net worth that none of us will ever derive an ounce of benefit from," Cohen continued.
"Don't you see who he's helping here? It is himself," he added. "He is heaping more gold and wealth, and opulence onto himself by the day. And we're all paying for it."
