On April 3rd, President Donald Trump is voicing frustration with his White House press secretary, 28-year-old Caroline Leavitt. He half-joked in front of reporters that she's doing a terrible job amid his complaints about non-stop bad press coverage. Leavitt is pregnant and set to start a maternity leave in about a month, giving Trump a window to shake things up. Sources close to the White House say Trump is already scouting replacements with his eyes on CNN contributor Scott Jennings. Jennings stands out for fiercely defending Trump and Republicans on that left-leaning network, the kind of fighter the President and Myers. Back on April 1st, Trump called out Leavitt directly during a briefing, tying her role to his sky-high negative publicity numbers from the election. Reporters push back, praising her work, and Trump backed off, saying they keep her, for now. Trump believes swapping in a fresh face could flip the script on media stories he sees as unfairly harsh. Insiders note he's eyeing this leave as the perfect chance to test someone new without a full firing.

In Trump's high stakes world, today's headlines rule everything, so expect moves soon as Leavitt steps away. That's the story for today, entertainment and celebrity news today, driven by AI. I'm Cory with the story.
