Leavitt, 28, has two children\u2014Niko, born in 2024, and Viviana, born this May\u2014with 60-year-old real estate developer Nicolas Riccio. But there are other factors at play, Coles and Dougherty said.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Coles began by citing details shared with the Daily Beast on Sunday by first-term Trump communications director Anthony Scaramucci.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cHe said it\u2019s widely known among Trump\u2019s aides that Trump is just meaner. You can see it. He\u2019s more unpleasant to deal with. He yells at people. He\u2019s always yelled at people, but he\u2019s yelling louder and for longer,\u201d Coles said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I\u2019m sure Karoline Leavitt, who you know, by all appearances, has a nice marriage, has a husband who\u2019s wealthy enough that she doesn\u2019t need to work, thought, \u2018What am I doing with my life? I have these two adorable little babies at home. Why do I need to come to work and get shouted at when I could go to Fox, make more money and be just as famous?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One prior Trump administration press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany, is a Fox host. The network also brought on former Trump press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders as a contributor for a while after she left the White House. Dana Perino, who served as press secretary in the George W. Bush administration, is also a Fox host.<\/p>\n<p>Dougherty added that, regarding the \u201cpersonal\u201d reasons for Leavitt\u2019s exit, there\u2019s \u201cno doubt\u201d that she \u201cwas not enjoying herself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to Leavitt not accompanying Trump, 80, to Turkey when she returned from maternity leave, he said, \u201cit felt like there was a notable diminution of interest, that there was just less of the energy from her.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The president\u2019s phone calls to her while she was away must have weighed on her, he added.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=5410\">Trump, 80, Forgets Name of Candidate He Just Endorsed<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cWhat was quite clear was that behind the scenes, she had been repeatedly phoned by Trump during that month that she was off, and&#8230; the load did not get any lighter for her. When she came back, it got worse.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>As for the \u201cinstitutional\u201d motivations to leave the West Wing, the midterms are looming large\u2014and all the consequences for the Trump White House that that could bring if Democrats indeed retake the House, let alone the Senate.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cIf the polls are right, it\u2019s going to be a blue wave that\u2019s going to be so unpleasant if you are in the West Wing, if you are Karoline Leavitt, if you are the other people who are leaving that we want to talk about as well, you don\u2019t want to be there,\u201d Dougherty said, referring to the exits this month of Deputy National Security Adviser Andy Baker and Deputy Press Secretary Abigail Jackson. More are expected, Politico reported.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFirst of all, he\u2019s probably going to be throwing things, and there\u2019s a lot of gold that can come off those walls,\u201d Dougherty said. \u201cThe internal atmosphere of a West Wing where there has been a defeat, obviously, is unpleasant.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>With Democratic control of Congress, \u201cyou are bombarded as a West Wing employee by subpoena after subpoena after subpoena. You are told to go and give evidence. You spend your time with lawyers. It\u2019s not very rewarding.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd if you\u2019re Karoline Leavitt, all the questions coming out are about those investigations,\u201d Dougherty added. \u201cAnd just think about what the Democrats want to investigate. They want to investigate Epstein. They\u2019ve even talked about investigating Barron Trump\u2019s links to those [Tate] brothers, they want to investigate the grift&#8230; Do you want to be the person up there answering those questions? So, there\u2019s the personal and there is this wide institutional problem that those who are in the West Wing are facing. And that\u2019s why Karoline Leavitt is not alone in leaving.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When reached for comment, White House Communications Director Steven Cheung, who has insulted Coles before, did so again, saying, \u201cJoanna Coles is a r&#8212;-d who has no idea what goes on in the White House.\u201d <\/p>\n<div>\n<p><i><b>New episodes of The Daily Beast Podcast are released every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday on <\/b><\/i><i><b>YouTube<\/b><\/i><i><b>, and on <\/b><\/i><i><b>other podcast platforms<\/b><\/i><i><b> the next morning.
