Trump and his team aren’t putting up with anybody’s games. Instead, they’re forging their own paths.
Now The Trump White House shocked the ‘woke’ Left with an unexpected reality check.
White House Stands Firm on Truth Over Trends
The Trump White House press team is taking a no-nonsense stance, declining to engage with reporters who flaunt pronouns in their email signatures.
Their reasoning? Those who reject “biological reality” can’t be relied upon to deliver straight-shooting stories. It’s a bold move that’s got the media buzzing—and some outlets squirming.
New York Times scribe Michael Grynbaum flagged three separate instances where press office staff, led by the sharp-tongued Karoline Leavitt, brushed off queries from pronoun-sporting journalists.
“As a matter of policy, we do not respond to reporters with pronouns in their bios,” Leavitt told a Times reporter sniffing around a climate observatory story.
Press Office Doubles Down on Principle
The policy isn’t just talk—it’s action. Grynbaum dug deeper, citing a case where Katie Miller, a top adviser at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), stonewalled a reporter over records because of their pronoun display.
“As a matter of policy, I don’t respond to people who use pronouns in their signatures as it shows they ignore scientific realities and therefore ignore facts,” Miller said, doubling down with, “This applies to all reporters who have pronouns in their signature.”
Leavitt backed her up when pressed by Grynbaum, emailing, “Any reporter who chooses to put their preferred pronouns in their bio clearly does not care about biological reality or truth and therefore cannot be trusted to write an honest story.”
White House comms chief Steven Cheung piled on with a zinger: “If The New York Times spent the same amount of time actually reporting the truth as they do being obsessed with pronouns, maybe they would be a half-decent publication.”
Media’s Pronoun Play Meets a Wall
The ripple effect’s hitting beyond the Times. Grynbaum noted other outlets facing the same cold shoulder when their reporters flash pronouns. Crooked Media’s Matt Berg even ran a little test, tossing pronouns into his signature to see if the White House would bite.
Spoiler: They didn’t. “I find it baffling that they care more about pronouns than giving journalists accurate information, but here we are,” Berg griped to the Times.
Meanwhile, the administration’s keeping its focus where it counts—rolling back gender identity fluff across government, from military bans to sports rules.
A Times spokesperson whined about “evading tough questions,” but Leavitt held the line, telling Fox News Digital, “Any reporter who chooses to put their preferred pronouns in their bio clearly does not care about biological reality or truth and therefore cannot be trusted to write an honest story.”
Sounds like a press office that’s done playing games—and ready to back a leader who calls it like he sees it.
