‘Merry MAGA Christmas’: Trump’s Incoming Press Secretary Shows Off Giant Seasonal ‘Ginger Donald’ Cookie

The human head-sized confection featured a frosted imitation of President-elect Donald Trump’s pouting lips and red-haired eyebrows.

Karoline Leavitt, President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming press secretary, showed off a giant MAGA gingerbread cookie featuring a frosted likeness of her boss on Monday. The human head-sized treat, which she noted came from baker Ginger Betty’s in Quincy, Massachusetts, features a “Ginger Donald” gingerbread man with frosted recreations of Trump’s pouting lips and red-haired eyebrows, baked into a larger, circular cookie with the frosted, seasonal salutation “Merry MAGA Christmas.” Rather than Trump’s usual red coif or similarly colored MAGA ballcap, the Ginger Donald sported a Santa hat. In an Instagram story, Leavitt asked: “How cute is this gingerbread MAGA cookie?” Meanwhile, she recently claimed that the Washington, D.C. press corps is secretly elated to have Trump—who has long bashed journalists, threatening to shut down news networks and imprison reporters—back in the White House.
