Donald Trump is pointing his finger at one person whom he thinks might be responsible for his bad press.

The 79-year-old president addressed the media on Tuesday (March 31) after signing an executive order targeting mail-in voting in the White House.

During an Q&A, he spoke about what he described as his many perceived wins, which he said have been covered incorrectly by news organizations, specifically targeting The New York Times and The Washington Post by name.

He argued that he gets massively bad press and blamed one person as possibly being responsible, accusing them of “doing a terrible job.”

The person in question was White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.

“I got 93% bad publicity,” Trump alleged. “Some people say 97, but between 93 and 97. A person that gets 97% of bad surge… Maybe Karoline’s doing a poor job, I don’t know.”

He jokingly addressed the next statement to Leavitt, 28, who was seemingly in the room but off-camera: “You’re doing a terrible job.”

“Should we keep her? I think we’ll keep her,” he told the press. “But I get 93 to 97% bad press. All fake. When you get 93 to 97% bad press, and you win in a landslide, you know what that says? People don’t believe the press. And when people don’t believe the press, that’s a very bad thing for our country.”

The president earlier referenced his performance in the last three presidential elections, incorrectly stating that he won all three of them before specifically mentioning the 2024 race.

“If you read The New York Times for months and months and months, you were hearing, ‘Oh, Trump, he’s doing so badly,’ ” he complained before pointing out that the reporting was wrong.

Tuesday was a rough day for Trump, who suffered two legal setbacks. Notably, one was in regards to the press. A Washington, D.C. judge blocked an executive order he signed targeting funding for PBS and NPR, claiming that it violated First Amendment rights.

A second loss had to do with his passion project — building the White House ballroom.
