Karoline Leavitt, in her first briefing as press secretary for President Donald Trump's White House, answered questions, over and over, on wasting taxpayer money, transgenderism, wokeness, DEI and much, much more.

She noted that foreign nationals who enter the United States illegally have, in fact, broken the law and are subject to removal:

She addressed the fact that she will tell reporters the truth, and she expects them to meet the same standard:

She pointed out that new media, bloggers and such, will have access to the briefings, along with the traditional corporate media:

Responding to questions about President Trump addressing the cost of living, she pointed out that egg prices exploded under Joe Biden, on whose orders millions and millions of chickens across the U.S. were destroyed.

On spending cuts, she cited the order that tax money stop going to various DEI, green scams, transgenderism, wokeness programs and social engineering, and said this is what voters elected Trump to address.

Under the Biden administration, officials were spending "money like drunken sailors," she said. That's why consumers have been hit by inflation, more than 20% under Biden.

The spending pause, she pointed, already found $37 million "about to go out the door" to the World Health Organization, from which Trump has withdrawn America, as well as $50 million for condoms in Gaza, a "preposterous waste" of tax money.

She said Trump is insisting the world respect America, as evidenced by the decision in Colombia to work with Trump's program regarding illegal immigration.

"This president will not tolerate illegals moving into America's interior," she said. He expects "every nation on this planet to cooperate."

On birthright citizenship, she said state officials, even federal judges, are allowed their opinion that it is constitutional. But the administration believes it is not and intends to pursue its case up to the Supreme Court, which has not decided specifically on the amendment's reference to jurisdiction, if needed.

She said the president is firm is his ending of funding for UNWRA and the designation of the Houthis as terrorists. She said an investigation into why the Biden administration kept money flowing, and left the Houthis undesignated, would be good although she did not know of any such plans.

"It wouldn't be a bad idea," she said.

Leavitt also announced: "After research and study, the drones that were flying over New Jersey in large numbers were authorized to be flown by the FAA for research and various other reasons."
