At a White House press briefing on Friday, Leavitt had praised Trump, saying: “President Trump has brokered, on average, about one peace deal or ceasefire per month during his six months in office. It’s well past time that President Trump was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.”

Trump’s remarks came just days after his comments about Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. While praising her newly released report that alleges former President Barack Obama orchestrated a plot to rig the 2016 election, Trump once again focused on appearance.

“Oh, where’s Tulsi? She’s, like, hotter than everybody,” Trump said. “She has all the documents. She found out that Barack Hussein Obama led a group of people and they cheated in the elections. They cheated without question. It’s not even a quote.”

He continued: “She told me, ‘You’ve seen nothing yet.’ We’re very proud of you, Tulsi. They cheated so badly… and it shouldn’t have been a loss. It was a big victory.”
