Karoline Leavitt is heading out on maternity leave, and Donald Trump will be stepping in to give some of his own press briefings.

At the end of a press gaggle outside on Friday, Leavitt addressed the fact that she would be heading out on maternity leave shortly, and that the day’s conversation with the press was likely her last for a while. She assured reporters that, since they had access to Trump’s phone, they likely would not need her department much while she was away.

“This will likely be my last gaggle for some time,” Leavitt said. “As you can see, I’m about ready to have a baby any minute, so I’ll see you guys very soon.”

She added: “I know all of you have the president’s phone number personally, so I have no doubt that you will have a shortage of statements and news from this building while I’m gone.”

I can only imagine how messed up the press briefings will be now. Wonder how many times the orangeanus will bumble out to the podium to drool and slur nonsense at us. He'll never be able to match his last run so this could be interesting and sickening all at once.

As for KKKarolyin' lips I can only wish her what she deserves. With any luck, we won't ever see her lying lips again until she goes on trial and is sentenced to prison until her kid is an adult.

Imagine having that godawful pathological liar as your mother. I doubt she'll be back anytime soon. Especially with that baby weight, considering her slimebag boss is all about appearances when it comes to the young women around him.

As for her scumbag boss and the others giving the press briefings, have at it. I'm just glad I bought another jar of popcorn, because it's going to be one gigantic shitshow for the entire country to see. Everyone who hasn't been paying attention can have a good hard look at who's in charge right now.

They can't get one of KKKarolyin's deputies to take over???
