In a candid interview, Karoline Leavitt, the youngest White House Press Secretary, revealed she's developed post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) due to her demanding schedule and extended time away from her family. Leavitt, who serves under President Donald Trump, emphasized that her PTSD isn't triggered by the relentless questioning from reporters, but rather by the constant pressure to coordinate time off with her husband. Despite making plans for mini-vacations, her schedule often gets derailed by foreign policy events. The 28-year-old Press Secretary, who starts her day before dawn and often works late into the night, described her role as a 24/7 job. She reads newspapers, watches news, and makes calls to Cabinet members and even the President himself when she's at home. Leavitt's dedication to her role is unwavering, and she has established a reputation for conducting straightforward press briefings. Her commitment to staying in the position longer than her predecessors has earned her praise from Trump and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, who encourage her to prioritize her family time. The Press Secretary's openness about her struggles with PTSD serves as a reminder of the high level of stress and pressure that comes with the job. Leavitt's story highlights the challenges faced by White House staff, particularly in the midst of high-profile events and controversies.
