The White House press briefing room got a dose of honesty today when kids took over questioning during Take Our Children to Work Day. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt fielded refreshingly blunt inquiries from children of staffers, exposing how mainstream reporters could learn from their straight-talk approach.
One young boy asked President Trump’s favorite McDonald’s order, with Leavitt cheerfully confirming his love for burgers and fries. Simple answers for simple questions – a stark contrast to the word games played by activist journalists. Another child bravely asked which news outlet Leavitt likes least, prompting a playful dig at ABC News for their constant negativity.
The kids didn’t tiptoe around issues adults avoid. A girl demanded to know who’d been fired recently, highlighting accountability missing from federal agencies. Leavitt’s answers stressed teamwork over drama, showcasing an administration focused on results rather than media theatrics.
While corporate networks obsess over “scandals,” these children asked about border security and American values. Their curiosity reveals what real families care about – safety, fairness, and leaders who keep promises. The Trump team’s openness with these young patriots proves they’ve got nothing to hide.
Mainstream reporters could learn from these kids’ direct style. Instead of gotcha questions about old tweets or fake “racism” claims, the next generation focused on lunch menus and problem-solving. Maybe if CNN asked about policy wins instead of manufacturing outrage, Americans would trust them again.
Leavitt’s patience with the children’s humor – including jokes about ice cream flavors – showed more warmth than she’s ever displayed toward hostile press activists. It’s clear this administration values honest dialogue over scripted soundbites. The briefing room felt like a family kitchen, not a swamp den.
Democrat-aligned media will whine this event was “staged,” but they staged four years of Russia hoaxes without apology. Today’s transparency proves Trump’s team isn’t afraid of tough questions – they’re just tired of fake ones from hacks pushing lies.
As the kids left, one shouted, “Make America Great Again!” – a reminder that common sense still lives in the heartland. While coastal elites mock flyover values, this White House keeps serving Big Mac truths the media can’t stomach.
