President Donald Trump’s social media team and a rock star press secretary demonstrate the power in his communications strategy that goes far beyond his outsized personality.

During a Friday rally in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Donald Trump praised White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, marking her departure to return to the MAGA Inc. super PAC.
“I also want to express our thanks to a wonderful woman here tonight who has done an unbelievable job. It’s so sad. You know, you meet people and you love people, but her name is Karoline, and she’s our press secretary, and she just had a baby,” Trump said.
“And I just learned she loves the baby more than she loves Donald Trump, and I’m very angry with her.
“Where is Karoline? She’s fantastic. You haven’t heard the last of her. She’ll be working for us outside, but she’s going to spend a little time with those two beautiful babies, right?
“Thank you, Karoline. What a job.”
Leavitt said: “President Trump, you are the most consequential and historic President in the history of our great country — and it has been the honor of my life to serve as your White House Press Secretary.”
RedState’s Teri Christoph noted: “Karoline Leavitt may be stepping away from the briefing-room podium, but her legions of fans will be happy to know that she’s not completely stepping away from Trump World.”
Fox News Digital noted that Leavitt “earned a reputation as a skilled spokesperson who paved the way for nontraditional media outlets to have a voice in the White House.”
