Critics Mock 'Delusional' Karoline Leavitt For Over-The-Top Take On Trump's Speech

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt claims her boss, President Donald Trump, is getting “rave reviews” for his speech Wednesday at the World Economic Forum in Davos. But critics say the word that best describes Trump’s remarks isn’t “rave” but “raving,” pointing to a rambling 72-minute speech in which he attacked everything from Somali immigrants to windmills.

Trump also demanded that the United States be given control over Greenland, but confused Iceland with Greenland multiple times as he spoke. In addition, he insulted Canada, blasted NATO and went off on a tangent about the 2020 election.

Leavitt didn’t see it that way.

“It has rave reviews,” she said during a Fox News interview. “Because the president just tells it like it is.”

Her critics were ready with a fact check:

Leavitt is delusional.

No, Karoline...the reviews said he was raving.

proving the theory that if Karoline Leavitt makes an assertion, the opposite can almost certainly be assumed true. https://t.co/hQdTz92XsG

Rave reviews from who?

I’m beginning to think that Leavitt is a deeply buried satire bot; buried within the White House but aimed against it, spouting nonsense that can be read as only satire. https://t.co/pAuhVgEUBs
