Leavitt shared a photo of her deconstructed hamburger dinner aboard Air Force One

Leavitt shared a snap of her in-flight dinner, which appeared to be a deconstructed hamburger served on fine china – complete with a bed of lettuce, sliced tomatoes and pickles, ground beef, and a generous helping of what looked like Thousand Island dressing.

Next to it was an actual arugula salad in a bowl, along with a brownie on a white napkin for dessert and what appeared to be an ice-cold glass of soda with the presidential seal on it.

Leavitt proudly boasted that she was with Trump, writing, "Hitching a ride with POTUS en route to Dallas, and the Air Force One Team still doesn't miss," while sharing the snapshot of her meal in a Wednesday, September 9, Instagram Story, less than two weeks after her final day on the job as press secretary.

In the background, several plates of the same bizarre dinner sat in front of other passengers.

Leavitt said the responsibilities of her job included being on the clock '24/7.'

Leavitt's posts and powerful position at the convention prove that even though she's no longer Trump's spokesperson, she's still a major force within the Republican Party.

The New Hampshire native gave birth to her second child, daughter Viviana, on May 1 and returned from maternity leave on July 16.

However, despite husband Nicholas Riccio helping care for their newborn and 2-year-old son, Niko, Leavitt admitted her "heart" was back home with her two young children and turned in her resignation on August 12.

Leavitt's husband and two young children paid her a visit on her final day as the White House press secretary.

Leavitt said of her decision, "The truth is, since returning to the White House after the birth of my daughter, I have felt in my heart that I cannot be the best mom my two young children deserve while devoting the constant time, energy, and attention required of the White House Press Secretary."

At the time, she added, "That is why I have ultimately made the bittersweet decision to depart the White House and embark on a new chapter in my life."

While Leavitt's last day on the job was on August 27, she praised Trump as the "best boss I ever had" and teased that she'll still be actively involved in a MAGA-related role.
