Leavitt outlined Trump&#8217;s legislative priorities, including increased funding for the border wall, mass deportations, and maintaining tax cuts from 2017. She emphasized the importance of tax cuts in trump&#8217;s economic plan and mentioned an <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">upcoming executive order directing<\/a> the Department of Transportation to implement english literacy tests for truck drivers. The briefing was intended to highlight Trump&#8217;s achievements in immigration and his approach to media access, contrasting with previous administrations. In the coming week, Trump is expected to focus on economic and social issues, participate in various interviews, and enhance his public engagement strategy.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">White House hosts influencer press briefing to preview Trump&rsquo;s first 100 days in office<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2108683\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/white-house\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">White House<\/a> press secretary <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/karoline-leavitt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Karoline Leavitt<\/a> held court with social media influencers as part of a special new media briefing before President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Donald Trump<\/a> commemorates his first 100 days of his second administration.<\/p>\n<p>Among those in attendance on Monday before Tuesday&rsquo;s anniversary were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/sean-spicer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Sean Spicer<\/a>, Trump&rsquo;s first-ever White House press secretary, who now hosts a YouTube show.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3393212\/watch-live-super-bowl-champion-philadelphia-eagles-white-house\/\">WATCH LIVE: Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles visit White House<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3393612\/jalen-hurts-white-house-not-attend-philadelphia-eagles-visit\/\">Jalen Hurts won&#8217;t attend Philadelphia Eagles White House visit due to scheduling conflict<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3393515\/trump-truck-drivers-executive-order-speak-english\/\">Trump to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/new-moderate-democrat-leader-tells-party-to-follow-common-sense-messaging\/\" title=\"New moderate Democrat leader tells party to follow &#039;common sense&#039; messaging\">sign executive order requiring truck drivers<\/a> to speak English<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>&ldquo;Mr. Spicer, it&rsquo;s good to see you here, my predecessor,&rdquo; Leavitt said.<\/p>\n<p>Spicer asked what priorities Trump was trying to pass through legislation rather than relying on executive orders.
