Katie Zacharia, who served as White House press secretary for five days, offered a positive assessment of former President Donald Trump shortly after departing the role. In a post on the social media platform X, Zacharia described Trump as “a kind, wonderful, gracious, thoughtful, enthusiastic, and hardworking man” and expressed admiration for his ongoing influence on the country.
Zacharia wrote that she wished more Americans recognized Trump’s contributions, stating, “No one will ever make America great the way he has and continues to.” She also called it an honor to have worked for him during her brief tenure.
The post, which featured a photo of Zacharia and Trump smiling together in the Oval Office, had garnered more than 7 million views by Saturday morning. Zacharia’s resignation came on Friday following two interviews she conducted with Fox News that were characterized as difficult.
Her departure marked a swift end to her time as press secretary, a position often associated with intense scrutiny and high turnover. Zacharia’s public remarks reflect ongoing loyalty to Trump despite the challenges she faced during her short stint in the administration.
