Liberty Score Assessment:

Personal Freedom (10/25): Karoline Leavitt has been a vocal supporter of President Donald Trump, often defending policies that critics argue may infringe upon civil liberties, such as stringent immigration controls and surveillance measures. Her role in promoting these policies suggests limited alignment with Libertarian values that prioritize individual liberties.
Economic Freedom (15/25): Leavitt has advocated for free-market principles, supporting deregulation and tax cuts. However, her support for protectionist trade policies indicates a mixed approach to economic freedom.
Limited Government (15/25): While promoting messages of reducing government intervention in certain sectors, Leavitt has also supported policies that expand executive power, reflecting an inconsistent commitment to the Libertarian ideal of limited government.
Non-Intervention (10/25): Leavitt’s communications have at times endorsed interventionist foreign policies, including military actions and foreign aid initiatives, which contrast with Libertarian non-interventionist principles.
