Conservative Journalist Mocked For Asking The Cringiest Possible Trump Question

Considering that Donald Trump’s current tariff antics are fueling recession fears, there’s no doubt the public wants answers.However, they won’t be getting them from the questions asked by reporters like Cara Castronuova, who works for Lindell TV, a news network created by My Pillow big cheese Mike Lindell.Castronuova, a former boxer, became the subject of much social media mockery on Friday when she asked a question at the White House’s press briefing that seemed like it could have been composed by press secretary Karoline Leavitt herself.“Will you guys also consider releasing the president’s fitness plan? He actually looks healthier than ever before — healthier than he did eight years ago, and I’m sure everybody in this room could agree,” Castronuova asked. “Is he working out with Bobby Kennedy and eating less McDonald’s?”Leavitt was obviously happy to end the press gathering with a softball question like that.“I can confirm the president is in very good shape, as you see on a near daily basis here,” she said.REPORTER: President Trump looks healthier than ever before.

Brought to you by McDonald's, you're lovin' it or else— Aleksandar Djokic (Александар Джокич) (@polidemitolog) April 11, 2025How embarrassing for our nation.— The Nicest Boy on this Website and App (@bikivindaloo) April 11, 2025She didn't answer the question about him working out and eating less McDonalds. So that would be a no.— Art Candee 🍿🥤 (@ArtCandee) April 11, 2025How much do you want to bet Americans are told by his doctor that “Trump could run a 5k today, in scorching conditions of 110 degrees, and win” if he chose to.— Alicia (@aliciablackgirl) April 11, 2025"The Emperor's clothes have never looked better, has he been working out?"— Zach Wilson (@televisionaryZW) April 11, 2025Trump's blood type is ketchup.— Machine Pun Kelly 🇺🇦 (@KellyScaletta) April 11, 2025My God. You used to complain about the media.Look at the new rightoid media. Literally questions about how hot Trump looks. This kind of worship was funny and had an ironic flavor in 2016. Now it’s literally how we’re governed. pic.twitter.com/fniwoOTI9l— Richard Hanania (@RichardHanania) April 11, 2025
