Karoline Leavitt's Tense Exchange with Trump: What Led to Her Resignation?

Footage of Karoline Leavitt has resurfaced, just hours after she announced her resignation as White House Press Secretary. The 28-year-old could be seen in a heated exchange with Donald Trump and his executive assistant, Natalie Harp, in the viral clip. Leavitt confirmed that she was officially leaving her post at the end of August, explaining in a statement that she can't fulfill her duties as a mom while working as part of the Trump administration.

The president confirmed her departure in a Truth Social post, saying she was 'one of my most trusted aides', explaining that the decision was about family. Theories have started to circulate despite Trump's words, with many believing that the US leader's decision to secretly exit a decoy plane to board Air Force One in Turkey last month was the last straw. But now, others believe that tensions started to rise before this unfolded.
