Speaking in the short video, Karoline Leavitt said, "It was another very busy week here at the Trump White House. Here are the facts."

"President Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act to deport illegal migrant foreign terrorists and Tren De Aragua members to El Salvador," the 27-year-old continued.

"Companies like Boeing, Johnson & Johnson, and Nvidia announced billions of dollars in new investments in America which will bring thousands of new jobs to communities like yours across the country," declared Leavitt.

"The president signed an executive order aimed at dismantling the Department of Education after decades of declining academic performance despite trillions of dollars being spent on this federal agency," she noted.

She also touched upon one of the most important topics from the last week, and said, "NASA astronauts who were abandoned by the Biden administration were finally brought home safely thanks to President Trump and Elon Musk. President Trump also delivered on his promise to release the JFK files with no redactions for the American public's consumption."

"And President Trump became the first sitting President in history to address a crypto conference," added the press secretary.

About the reduced prices of daily necessities, she shared, "And last but certainly not least, egg prices have officially fallen more than 50% since President Trump took office. Gas prices have declined nationally for the fourth straight week in a row and we are on our way to renewing the American dream."

One said, "Oh, you are such a terrible liar," and another added, "Everyday the White House becomes more and more nauseating."

A person wrote, "Gas just jumped 60 cents in the last two days what are you talking about," whereas someone else noted, "I see no fact…just propaganda 😂."

"It's another very busy week of lies and propaganda . . . . Blah blah blah," another comment read. 

"So many lies. Gas prices are not going down, Biden did not abandon the astronauts. Omgosh stop with all the bull s**t," penned one more, chastizing the press secretary. 

"Egg prices have not fallen 50%, or 0% for that matter. In fact, from what I’ve seen they’ve increased even more!" an individual claimed. 

"Egg and gas prices down??" asked another perplexed user, before adding, "I work in the grocery business, have for some time, eggs are the highest I've seen them,. I'm sorry 13 dollars for a dozen eggs is not low, or lowered."

"Amazing. There wasn’t a single fact shown," wrote another person sarcastically, while a netizen added, "Another busy week destroying the country! Clowns! 🤡."

"Here are the 'facts.' If you gotta label it, you’re trying too hard to convince us of something that isn’t quite the case. Marketing 101," another said. 

"Facts?? Alternative facts lol," stated someone else, as another added, "Does she live here? 😂 🇺🇸 This is the definition of propaganda."
