This exchange occurred when Leavitt was questioned, “President Trump, naturally, campaigned on the promise to reduce prices, claiming he would lower the cost of everything from groceries, as he frequently stated. However, in numerous instances, it appears that some of these actions might actually increase costs for everyday Americans, particularly regarding low-income heating assistance — that program; childcare initiatives. Will any of the president’s actions, particularly the freeze on these programs, lead to higher prices for average Americans?”
In response, she retorted, “Which specific actions are you alluding to that would —” Before she could finish, the reporter interjected, “I am specifically referring to LHEAP at this moment. That is the low-income heating assistance program, for instance. We could discuss — there is a lack of clarity, so I could mention many of them. We are uncertain about what they are exactly. Can you confirm that LHEAP — that LIHEAP is not among those impacted?”
Leavitt then, amusingly, laughed at him and smirked. To further the ridicule, she inquired, “So, you are posing a hypothetical question based on programs that you cannot even specify?” The reporter retorted, after a brief exchange, “Well, just to clarify, since you have not identified them, let us do it together, just for the sake of Americans watching. Is Medicaid affected?”
She then stated, “However, I wish to discuss the issue of cost reduction, as it is undoubtedly very significant, particularly in relation to lowering the cost of living in this nation. President Trump has undertaken historic measures in the past week to address this. He has indeed signed a memorandum aimed at providing emergency price relief for American families, which involved several actions. I can guide you through those steps.”
She further remarked, “Additionally, he has repealed numerous burdensome regulations from the Biden administration. It is evident that, over the last four years, American households have effectively been burdened with $55,000 in regulatory costs imposed by the previous administration. President Trump, with a simple stroke of his pen, has annulled these regulations, which will ultimately result in more money being returned to the American populace. Therefore, deregulation is of great importance.”
She also emphasized, as she wrapped up her remarks on the subject, “Furthermore, regarding energy, the president has signed an executive order to declare a national energy emergency domestically, which will position America as a leader in energy production. We understand that energy is one of the primary contributors to inflation, which is why the president aims to enhance our energy supply: to reduce costs for Americans. The Trump energy boom is on the horizon, and Americans can anticipate that.” Watch her laugh in his face and dismiss his arguments here:
