Zacharia declares 'ruthless loyalty' to Trump after he said she 'freaked out' as press secretary

Katie Zacharia, who lasted just five days as White House press secretary, is standing firmly behind President Donald Trump despite him telling a Florida rally that she "freaked out" on the job. Her only briefing ran a mere 14 minutes, and she called her husband 'my president'. Still, she quoted Rudyard Kipling to praise Trump's 'common touch' and insisted 'the best is yet to come'.

Predecessor Karoline Leavitt: the job 'obviously was not for her'.

Trump says he told her 'there are easier ways for you to live'.

Trump had hailed the ex-Newsmax contributor as a 'loyal and brilliant supporter'.
