Karoline Leavitt is back doing what she does best, but her critics couldn't care less.

The 28-year-old press secretary for President Donald Trump has taken to Instagram to share a mini career update with her 3 million followers. Leavitt was seen strutting her post-partum figure in a beige suit co-ord, consisting of wide-leg trousers and a cropped blazer adorned with gold buttons.

She accessorized with a pair of matching beige heels, a purse and oversized brown shades. Leavitt had her signature blonde locks in a flowy style that fell just below her shoulders, with soft glam featuring bronzed cheeks and a pale pink lip. It comes as Leavitt stepped away from work to support a canceled musician.

In the first snap, Leavitt was seen boarding Marine One as two military men welcomed her on, and in the second slide, she was seen beaming ear to ear as she walked to the aircraft holding a mysterious piece of yellow paper and a canned beverage. "Boarding Marine One with President Trump [helicopter emoji]," Leavitt captioned the upload as she tagged Washington D.C. in the location section.

Hundreds of her followers, both fans and critics, were quick to weigh in, with one user blasting, "Who cares, girl?" which was echoed by a second to slam, "Me on my way to do nothing but tell lies behind a podium."

A third critic posted an unflattering pic of Leavitt in the comment, which she reportedly begged to be scrubbed from the internet. Someone else asked, "If she gets in, does she have to slide through the poop he leaves on the seat?" referring to online rumors that her boss, Trump, wears diapers.

"Don't you have a baby to care for ?" someone else wondered. Others were more positive towards the press secretary, with one person commenting, "Mama, obsessed with that outfit," while another echoed, "Momma of two and you really are THAT girl."

It comes just three months after Leavitt gave birth to her second child with her real estate mogul husband Nicholas Riccio, 60, at the beginning of May. Taking to Instagram on May 7, Leavitt shared a snap of her cradling her little one with a big grin on her face. She captioned the snap, "On May 1st, Viviana aka “Vivi” joined our family, and our hearts instantly exploded with love.

"She is perfect and healthy, and her big brother is joyfully adjusting to life with his new baby sister. We are enjoying every moment in our blissful newborn bubble."

"Thank you to everyone who reached out with prayers during my pregnancy - I truly felt them throughout the entire experience. God is Good," she concluded.

Leavitt and Riccio, who is 32 years her senior, already have a toddler, a boy called Nicholas "Niko" Robert Riccio, who was born in July 2024. The couple later got married in January 2025, just before the presidential inauguration, and welcomed their second child in May 2026.
