Karoline Levitt is the youngest White House press secretary at just 27. Although she dresses to look mature, some people also assume she is in her later 30s due to heavy makeup or possible facial enhancements.
As a young woman at her job, she feels the need to be taken seriously by the Trump administration. Since she is the press secretary, she has to come forward to deliver important news to the public. There is massive pressure on her to do her job while also fact-checking and answering questions.
It’s a stressful job, and it may be getting to her in different ways. She is often seen touching her hair a lot or moving it away from her face even when it’s not there. It could be an unconscious habit or a sign of nervousness. People are starting to find it annoying when she does it constantly for no reason. Several of her critics are going after her for this anxious behavior.
Some people assume it is not just nervousness. She is in front of cameras and press every day. Moreover, she gets asked several questions that she has to be prepared to answer. But she seems more anxious with each passing day. She is seen fixing her hair too much when they are not settling. However, she also does it when there’s nothing to fix. Maybe she needs a new hairstyle or hairstylist.
A lady that used to work for me, used to eat her own hair. I later learned that constant fiddling with hair, like Karoline Leavitt does, is a warning sign of the compulsion.

One user on X said that touching her hair too much is a sign of her lying. Many people talk about how she lies through her teeth. Some even try to convince others by posting that each hair flip shows that whatever she’s saying is word-to-word told by the party. They assume she is not saying anything herself but is just a puppet.
Many people can’t stand Karoline Levitt and don’t even pay attention to what she’s saying. There are several Reddit threads where people discuss her press releases. Some even go on to say how embarrassing she is and come off as aggressively defensive. Being the mouthpiece of the administration, people don’t appreciate how she addresses several issues; hence, her mannerisms have become a target, too.

Apart from touching her hair too much, she is also being called out for excessive blinking. Many people blink when they are anxious or move their gaze constantly around the room. One X user asked if she was nervous about doing so even when she knew she was winging it. Another one contributed that she may be just nervous and out of depth.
The constant fidgeting and hair touching are a sign of that. People mock her talent to lie even when she’s clueless and fake, being fearless. For excessive blinking, people say she does it a lot more than normal people. On average, people blink 14-17 times per minute, but she does it even more. This happens when she is being asked a question in the briefings. Maybe she has dry eyes, or her makeup is too heavy, making her blink too much.
