"Karoline, the prime minister would like you to work for him in Hungary," Trump said Friday
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban quipped during a bilateral meeting at the White House that he wants to hire press secretary Karoline Leavitt after she delivered an impromptu takedown of the media for spreading "fake news" over American affordability concerns.
"Karoline, the prime minister would like you to work for him in Hungary," Trump said Friday after Orban was seen leaning toward Trump and asking him, "Can I get her for us?"
The scene unfolded after Trump called Leavitt into Cabinet room at the White House, where Trump and Orban were holding a bilateral meeting to discuss Hungarian energy and trade. Toward the end of the meeting, reporters peppered the president with questions on the shutdown and affordability concerns, with one reporter saying, "You said last night you didn't want to talk about affordability."
Trump shot back: "I talked about it. When did I not want to talk about it? I talk about it all the time. We are much better than Biden and all of them now."
Trump called out to Leavitt amid his response, with her arriving at the meeting shortly after.
