Karoline Leavitt, 27, appeared on 'CNN News Central' on Thursday, April 3, to speak to host Kate Bolduan about the impact on global stock markets after Donald Trump's "Liberation Day" announcements.
However, her recent appearance opened the floodgates of speculations among a section of social media users, who claimed that the White House press secretary has gone under the knife, including having procedures on her lips.

As Bolduan urged Leavitt to talk about the freefall of the global stock market ever since the 78-year-old MAGA spearhead announced the tariffs, Leavitt defended Trump’s stance, saying that ultimately the laws will help the country as things would be now made in America.
She further added that the other nations were "ripping off" America for the last 70 years, and urged those on Wall Street to "trust" in Trump, according to The Mirror.

Amid this, a few social media users called her out for “lying” on national television. They also pointed out that the Trump spokesperson has probably undergone surgery to plump up her lips.
Though Leavitt has not talked about getting any surgeries, on April 1, an claim went viral on social media about her getting some cosmetic done work on her lips and especially on her nose, which they said has started resembling the late Michael Jackson's.
