Could Karoline Leavitt be next in the MAGA Purge?

With Pam Bondi and Kristi Noem out of jobs, everyone is now wondering the same thing: who’s the next MAGA crony to get the old heave ho?

According to some sources, it could be yet another blonde woman close to Tr*mp.

“I got 93% bad publicity,” Tr*mp said in a press conference earlier this week. “Maybe Karoline’s doing a poor job, I don’t know.”

How about we take this to the next level?

It makes sense that White House Press Sec. Karoline Leavitt might be next on the chopping block. While Tr*mp loves to make a big show of hiring women to serve alongside him, he also loves to fire them the second they become convenient scapegoats.

Leavitt just committed the ultimate woman-in-the-workplace sin of taking maternity leave for her second child, due in May.

On top of that, it seems that Tr*mp is upset over the “bad publicity” that’s actually just accurate reporting about how bad his second term is going.

“He’s not happy. And when he’s not happy, he starts looking at options,” one source told DC insider Rob Shuter.

According to that same source, “He’s even blamed her pregnancy for distractions, saying the focus isn’t where it needs to be.”

In Leavitt’s case, we would feel a lot worse if she wasn’t herself anti-LGBTQ+ and serving as chief propagandist for a retrograde admin.

Time and time again, the 28-year-old has used her immense platform to target trans children.

Will Tr*mp’s replacement pick be any better on LGBTQ+ issues? Probably not. But chances are, the replacement will be male.

According to Shuter, CNN pundit Scott Jennings could be waiting in the wings to snatch Leavitt’s job.

“Tr*mp likes fighters,” Shuter’s source says. “Scott goes on TV and defends him aggressively—that gets noticed.”

Jennings has his own history of anti-trans rhetoric. In 2024, Jennings blamed Democrats for not throwing trans people under the bus on CNN’s State of the Union panel.

“I think what they are finally coming to realize is that a lot of men think Democrats care more about dudes who want to become women than dudes who just want to be dudes,” he said.

Charming!

For now, Leavitt is still in the MAGA firmament, but if Noem and Bondi’s firings are any indication, she’s going to be informed of her ousting at the most humiliating possible moment.

Until that happens, we’ll be eagerly waiting, watching and munching our popcorn.
