A single glance has ignited a firestorm of speculation across social media, with users drawing uncomfortable parallels between President Donald Trump’s relationship with his 27-year-old press secretary and one of the most infamous political scandals in American history.
The controversy erupted when the Jerry Can Crew posted a clip from Trump and Karoline Leavitt’s July 15 emergency press conference on the North Lawn, setting the footage to Mariah Carey’s “Heartbreaker” with the eyebrow-raising tagline “Trump Interview with a Side of Romance.”
The 15-minute impromptu session, which covered weighty topics including Trump’s warnings to Russia, the Epstein files, and New York City’s mayoral race, took on an entirely different tone in the edited clip.
Viewers fixated on a particular moment where Leavitt appeared to gaze at the 79-year-old president with what many interpreted as more than professional admiration. Her slight smile and the way her eyes seemed to follow Trump’s movements sparked immediate commentary across social platforms.
The online reaction was swift and unforgiving when Jerry Can Crew posted it.
