The occasion was “Take Our Sons and Daughters to Work Day.” To celebrate the event, the White House welcomed the children of reporters who make up the White House press corps and White House staff to the press briefing room on May 20. Leavitt brought her baby boy.

Children took over the White House press briefing ‒ and they asked what’s on everyone’s mind. Does President Donald Trump like to give hugs? “Yes, I do think he likes to give hugs,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt responded.

What is his favorite food? “He likes to eat big, beautiful steak,” Leavitt said.

One of the kid reporters, however, posed a much more audacious ‒ and timely ‒ question: “How many people has he fired?” a little girl, probably about 4 years old, asked from the front row. Leavitt laughed, then said: “Thus far, actually, we’ve not had anyone fired, with the exception of one individual who did leave their job, but we have a great team here. So far, so good.”

on Trump’s favorite flavor of ice cream (an ice cream sundae with chocolate sauce and toppins) and his favorite president besides himself (George Washington, Leavitt guessed, but wasn’t 100% certain.)

one child asked, which “superpower” does Trump wish he had? “It would be just to snap his fingers and solve all of our country’s problems – just like that,” Leavitt said. “Because he likes to get things done very quickly.”

A young boy wanted to know how much candy Trump eats a day. “A good amount of candy,” Leavitt said. “He likes pink Starbursts and Tootsie Rolls.”

But there was one question that Leavitt struggled to respond to with just one answer. “What’s your least favorite news outlet?” a boy asked. Leavitt looked down toward her lectern and laughed. “I can tell you’re a staff kid. Not a journalist’s kid,” she said, adding with a smile: “Honestly, it depends on the day.”
