Trump Launches Fierce Attack on CNN Anchor During Tense Oval Office Exchange.During a charged press conference in the Oval Office, President Donald Trump engaged in a confrontational and combative exchange with CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins, accusing her of bias and challenging her credibility in front of a room full of reporters. The back-and-forth quickly drew national attention, dominating headlines and intensifying the ongoing feud between Trump and the media, particularly CNN.
The confrontation began when Collins asked Trump whether he trusted Russian President Vladimir Putin. Given the controversies surrounding Trump’s ties to Russia, the question was highly charged, and Collins pressed for a direct answer. Initially, Trump responded cautiously, stating, “I think he would like to see something happen.” However, when Collins sought further clarification, the exchange escalated.
Interrupting her mid-question, Trump pivoted to a personal attack. “I know he [Biden] is a friend of yours,” he said, suggesting that Collins was not an objective journalist but aligned with his political rival, Joe Biden. Collins appeared momentarily taken aback but attempted to steer the conversation back to the original question.
Trump was unrelenting. “You always ask the same nasty questions,” he continued, waving his hand dismissively. “CNN has no credibility. Everyone knows you guys are fake news. You push lies and misinformation every day.”
Collins, known for her persistence and sharp questioning, responded firmly, “Mr. President, my job is to ask questions. You haven’t answered mine,” refusing to be intimidated.
Trump, visibly agitated, leaned forward and shot back, “You wouldn’t ask Biden these kinds of questions. You wouldn’t dare. You’re protecting him. You’re part of the problem.”
The heated exchange underscored the ongoing tensions between Trump and the media and served as another high-profile flashpoint in their continuing confrontation.
