“President Trump’s first week back in office was the most significant in modern history — correcting course after four years of disaster,” one post read.

“In just one week, President Trump has done more to usher in the Golden Age of America than most presidents do over their full term,” it added.

Fox News reports:

President Donald Trump’s first administration included labeling certain news outlets as “fake news” for reporting what the president claimed was biased content intended to undermine his leadership. Trump continued his fiery relationship with media outlets across his 2024 campaign.

A senior GOP strategist celebrated that the new account “is bad news for the fake news media.”

“President Trump won the 2024 election in part due to the irreverent and swift nature of their pushback against fake narratives and amplification of the facts,” the strategist said. “A Trump Rapid Response account is bad news for the fake news media and good news for the American people.”

Trump frequently has sparred with reporters over promoting what he says is “fake news,” including earlier in January when the 47th president slammed the Washington Post for claiming his tariff policy would be “pared down.” He hit back on his Truth Social platform that the outlet was pushing “fake news.”

Trump’s first administration also had a Rapid Response X account, but the account focused on breaking news and updates rather than spotlighting what the administration views as “lies” promoted by the media.

On Tuesday, Rapid Response 47 shared highlights from White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt’s debut in the briefing room.

Leavitt, 27, is the youngest individual to serve as White House press secretary.

“We will call you out when we feel that your reporting is wrong or there is misinformation about this White House,” Leavitt commented.

“I will hold myself to the truth — and I expect everyone in this room to do the same,” she added.

“Peace through strength is back. This President will not tolerate illegal immigration into America’s interior and he expects every nation on this planet to cooperate with the repatriation of their citizens who illegally entered into our country,” Leavitt said.

From the Associated Press:

Leavitt, 27, said that she plans to hold briefings frequently and that Trump would be available to reporters for questions.

“I can assure you that you’ll be hearing from both him and me as much as possible,” she said.

Trump had four press secretaries during his first administration, Sean Spicer, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Stephanie Grisham and Kayleigh McEnany, and Grisham never held a briefing, while the others were more frequent presences behind the podium.

Leavitt was a spokesperson for Trump’s campaign and transition, and he said she did “a phenomenal job” when he announced in November that she’d be his White House press secretary.

“Karoline is smart, tough, and has proven to be a highly effective communicator,” he said then in a statement. “I have the utmost confidence she will excel at the podium, and help deliver our message to the American People as we Make America Great Again.”
