A recent press conference in the Oval Office turned into a fiery showdown between former President Donald Trump and CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, capturing the attention of social media and sparking widespread debate.
The confrontation began when Collins asked Trump about his recent conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump, who has been actively involved in efforts to end the Russia-Ukraine war, expressed confidence in Putin’s desire for peace. However, when Collins pressed him further, asking if he trusted Putin, Trump shifted his focus to criticize CNN.
“He’s a friend of CNN. That’s why nobody watches CNN anymore. They have no credibility,” Trump shot back, eliciting laughter from other reporters in the room. The remark highlighted Trump’s long-standing disdain for the network, which he has frequently accused of biased reporting.
This isn’t the first time Trump and Collins have clashed. Their history of contentious interactions dates back to Trump’s first term, when Collins’ tough questions often put her at odds with the former president. Their latest exchange suggests that their dynamic remains unchanged, even as Trump settles into his second term.
The incident has since gone viral, with Trump’s supporters praising his combative style and critics accusing him of undermining the press. As Trump continues to engage with the media, his exchanges with reporters like Collins are sure to keep the public talking.
