Trump went after CNN host Kaitlan Collins again, this time for not smiling.
During a press conference in the Oval Office, Trump called CNN “a very corrupt organization” and then referred to Collins, who was there asking questions, as “a corrupt reporter standing right there, never smiles.”
Trump said, “A young beautiful woman, never smiles. I never see a smile off her face. I see her standing there with hatred in her eyes, like she has hatred, because we had borders, because we have a strong military, because we cut our taxes, because we do things that everybody wanted, and then we win our election in a massive landslide.”
Trump attacked the network and Collins after she asked him whether the Justice Department’s $1.8 billion weaponization slush fund was dead or merely on hold.
After calling the fund a “beautiful thing,” Trump said to Collins that “people like you have abused our people so badly. The fake news, like CNN, like The New York Times, and like others, have abused our people, have abused our people so badly. And you should be ashamed of yourself. You used to be a conservative. She was a conservative from Alabama, can you believe it? But CNN in particular does such false reporting, but now they have new ownership, so maybe it’ll straighten out, but I doubt it.”
Strange how Trump never attacks the male reporters for not smiling, isn’t it?
