Speaking in an address to students, Leavitt shared advice she received from her predecessor Dana Perino, emphasizing the importance of being well-informed. "You should always strive to be the most well-read person in any room you're in. That's the advice I received before taking on this role," said Leavitt. She added that she herself tries to follow this principle, but that Trump, according to her words, always goes a step further. "I try every day, but Donald Trump always is. That man doesn't miss a story. He always reads the newspapers and watches television. He doesn't miss anything anyone says anywhere in the world," she stated. Leavitt emphasized that it's not clear how Trump manages to keep up with such a vast amount of information, given the volume of news published daily. Later in her address, she also offered advice to young people and the public, highlighting the need for a critical approach to information. "Before you get too upset or excited about something you read or hear, check multiple sources and use your own judgment to assess what is true. Unfortunately, that's necessary today," she advised.
