During a tense press conference in the Oval Office, President Donald Trump clashed with CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins, accusing her of bias and questioning her credibility.
The confrontation began when Collins pressed Trump about his trust in Russian President Vladimir Putin. Initially, Trump responded cautiously, saying, “I think he would like to see something happen.”
However, his tone quickly shifted as he accused Collins of having ties to his political rival, Joe Biden. “I know he [Biden] is a friend of yours,” Trump stated, escalating the exchange.
The moment drew significant media attention, highlighting the ongoing tension between Trump and the press, particularly CNN.
Some people in the room chuckled at the remark.
Collins, no stranger to Trump’s verbal jabs, has frequently been on the receiving end of his criticisms due to her tough questioning.
Just last month, she confronted Trump about his claims that DEI policies played a role in the DC plane crash.
“Does it comfort [the victims’] family to hear you blaming DEI policies?” Collins asked, seemingly trying to corner him.
Trump didn’t hesitate. “I think that’s not a very smart question,” he shot back before adding, “I’m surprised, coming from you.”
