During a heated Oval Office press conference, President Donald Trump clashed with CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins, accusing her of bias and questioning her credibility.
The exchange erupted when Collins pressed Trump on whether he trusted Russian President Vladimir Putin. Initially, Trump responded cautiously, stating, “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 claimed, escalating the confrontation.
The encounter drew widespread media attention, highlighting Trump’s ongoing contentious relationship with the press, particularly CNN. The tense interaction further illustrated his adversarial stance toward journalists who challenged him, reinforcing his broader pattern of dismissing media scrutiny. The clash underscored the deep divisions between Trump and major news networks, a theme that had been prevalent throughout his presidency.
