Reporter’s child asks Karoline Leavitt to name Donald Trump’s 'favorite president' besides himself

WASHINGTON, DC: White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt took questions from reporters' children in the briefing room on Tuesday, May 20, where a child asked her who Donald Trump's favorite president was besides himself.

Interestingly, the gathering was part of Take Our Sons and Daughters to Work Day, where several reporters’ children got to ask questions from the press secretary during a briefing, according to Mediaite.

Reporter's child asks who Trump's favorite president is besides himself

The child named Norah asked Karoline Leavitt about Donald Trump’s favorite president, but she wanted an answer from Leavitt that was not "Donald Trump".

Leavitt said during the briefing, "Norah, go ahead," and the child asked, "Which is Donald Trump’s favorite president, besides himself?"

Meanwhile, everyone in the room started to laugh when she asked the question.

Leavitt replied, " That’s a good question, because it would be, uh, probably himself."

"I think that perhaps he would say George Washington. I know he speaks very highly of George Washington, who was, of course, the first president of our great country," she added. "And he has his big, beautiful portrait hanging in the Oval Office above the fireplace. Good question."

Moreover, another young girl asked Leavitt, "How many people has he fired?" and she replied, "Thus far, actually, we’ve not had anyone fired, with the exception of one individual who did leave their job, but we have a great team here."

Interestingly, tens of thousands of federal employees have been laid off since Trump took office, per the outlet.

During the briefing, Leavitt turned down a question asking who Trump’s favorite child is.

She said, "That is a very controversial question, and I am not going to answer it. He loves all of his children very much, and they’re all great kids. Some of them were here yesterday."

Karoline Leavitt answers other questions about Donald Trump and herself

During the Q&A session, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt went on to answer many other questions about herself and President Donald Trump.

She was asked about Trump's favorite ice cream flavor, the superpower he most wants to have, and whether he likes giving hugs, according to Fox News.

Leavitt replied to one of the questions, "Oh, does he like to give hugs? You know, I think he does. I have seen him give many hugs to children and his family and our beautiful first lady. So, yes, I do think he likes to gives hugs."

During the briefing, a child asked, "What is the funnest part about your job, and the hardest part?"

"I think the most fun part about my job is doing things like this with all of you in the briefing room and answering so many great questions. I think that the hardest part of my job is also doing things like this in the briefing room and answering all of these questions," Leavitt replied.

She added, "And reading the news is a big part of my job every day. I wake up and read the newspaper and watch the news and listen to all of the things that your parents are reporting on in the news, and that's a big part of my job every day."

A child also asked her about Trump's favorite food, and she said he prefers steak to anything else. She then informed the next child that Trump's favorite ice cream flavor is a classic ice cream sundae.

"If the president could have a superpower, what would it be? That is a very good question," Leavitt said.

She continued, "I think if he had a superpower it would be to just snap his fingers and solve all of our country's problems just like that, because he likes to get things done very quickly but sometimes it takes a little bit longer."

"Like today, he had to go to Capitol Hill to convince people to vote for his one big beautiful bill. I bet if he had a superpower, he would snap his fingers and get it passed immediately, but life doesn't work that way, unfortunately," she concluded.
