President Trump has sparked massive criticism after making some bizarre remarks about his pregnant White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, during a mid-flight exchange with press reporters on Air Force One.
That moment occurred as the plane encountered serious turbulence, leading to the president warning reporters that conditions were about to get rough. In that context, he joked about how he needed to grab something to make himself steady.
He looked around and saw Leavitt standing by, after which he remarked, the thing to grab wouldn't be Leavitt, who stood by and laughed out loud in response to the bizarre comment.
The incident quickly circulated online and drew negative reactions from many people who saw it as an inappropriate and unnecessary ordeal. They felt that the US President needed to get his act together and really think twice before stating such remarks.
Also, the fact that Leavitt is pregnant made things so much more awkward, sources added, as the phase and timing were beyond cringe and bizarre.
This isn't the first time that the president came under fire for such remarks about the White House Press Secretary, as he was slammed in the past for commenting on her lips.
