Karoline Leavitt Donald Trump
Karoline is a huge supporter of Donald Trump. She wrote an article on The Telegraph and said she supports Donald Trump because she want America to be “safe, prosperous, and free”.
“I want a booming economy, and good-paying jobs for my friends and family. I want less taken out of my hard earned paycheck through taxation. It was thanks to President Trump’s leadership that women’s unemployment hit its lowest level in nearly 70 years. If empowering women to get into the workplace and provide for their families isn’t pro-women, I don’t know what is.”
She added “Donald Trump is the strongest law and order candidate America has ever had. Like millions of women, I want a President who backs our men and women in blue. We want to live in safe communities, and we want deranged criminals who commit heinous crimes to be locked up in prison, not walking our streets.
Under President Trump, overdoses in my home state of New Hampshire were declining for the first time in years. Now, fatal drug overdoses are rising at a rate higher than any other state in the nation. I know too many mothers who have had to bury their children because Joe Biden’s administration does not care enough about their lives to end the trafficking of Chinese fentanyl into our communities.”
