Amber Macdonald Says There Are No Women of Courage in Trump’s White House—Here’s the Reality Check She Desperately Needs

In a recent article published by U.S.News & World Report, writer Amber Macdonald Says There Are ”No Women of Courage in Trump’s White House”—Here’s the Reality Check She Desperately Needs

Amber Macdonald, a former Biden White House staffer and liberal columnist, recently attempted to drag the Trump administration with a stunningly tone-deaf claim: that there are no “women of courage” in today’s White House. Her evidence? The Trump administration didn’t issue a press release for International Women of Courage Day or update a landing page for the awards. That’s right—according to Amber, if there isn’t a photo op or an email blast, the courage must be gone.

Let’s be clear: what Amber really means is that there are no longer liberal women in the White House bowing to the woke agenda. That much is true—and thank God for that.

This administration isn’t interested in optics or performative praise. It doesn’t elevate women based on progressive boxes checked—it empowers those who lead with conviction. The women in Trump’s administration are bold, grounded in truth, and fully engaged in the work of restoring what the last four years damaged. They aren’t chasing symbolism; they’re defending substance—the real rights of women and girls who were sidelined and silenced under the previous administration’s radical woke agenda.

While some mourn the absence of ceremonial pageantry, Trump’s White House is filled with women who are far too busy doing the work of restoring our country to worry about what the headlines are saying. These women are leaders who came to serve, not to be celebrated.

The Left’s Empty Definition of Courage

Critics dismiss these women because they don’t fit the left’s definition of courage—one that rewards conformity, not conviction. That standard is hollow. It celebrates social media soundbites and political theater while turning a blind eye as real women lose their voices, their private spaces, and their opportunities in the name of progress.

Where were these defenders of courage when biological men were allowed to compete in women’s sports, take women’s scholarships, and invade women’s bathrooms? Where was the outcry when the last administration let ideology trump biology—and cost young girls their dreams?

That silence wasn’t courage. It was complicity.

It was bowing to the woke agenda at all costs—the very definition of cowardice. No backbone. No truth. No principle. Just total conformity, like a puppet on a string.

This Is What Courage Actually Looks Like

Courage is standing for truth when the culture demands compromise. Not bowing down. Not backing up.

Courage is defending women’s rights—and the rights of the American people—without apologizing for common sense.

Courage is securing the border, protecting victims, fighting crime, and restoring order—all while raising families, defending faith, and living with integrity.

Courage isn’t a press release. It’s not an award ceremony. It’s the quiet, determined, daily work of women who lead from conviction—not convenience.

Here Are the True Women of Courage the Left Refuses to Acknowledge

• Susie Wiles, White House Chief of Staff. A seasoned strategist who has helped steer conservative victories for decades, Wiles now oversees operations at the highest level of government with integrity, competence, and poise.

• Karoline Leavitt, Press Secretary. The youngest in U.S. history to hold the role, Leavitt is known for her fearless communication and unapologetic clarity. When asked about this administration’s priorities, she didn’t mince words: “I’m tired of this woke crap.”

• Pam Bondi, Attorney General, is restoring justice and upholding the rule of law with a steady hand.

• Kristi Noem, Secretary of Homeland Security, is cracking down on human trafficking and securing the border.

• Lori Chavez-DeRemer, Secretary of Labor, is expanding opportunities for women in skilled trades and restoring dignity to work.

• Brooke Rollins, Secretary of Agriculture, is protecting rural America while advancing food security.

• Kelly Loeffler, Administrator of the Small Business Administration, is fighting for entrepreneurs across the country.

• Anna Kelly, Deputy Press Secretary, is helping to reshape public discourse with precision, courage, and conviction.

Critics brush these women aside because they refuse to bow to the left’s counterfeit version of courage—a version that rewards silence over strength, appeasement over principal. But that standard is a fraud. It cheers for applause lines and virtue signals while standing by as real women are erased, overlooked, and sacrificed on the altar of political correctness. These women weren’t chosen to play a part—they were called to lead. And they’re doing it without apology, without permission, and without fear. Praise God!
