Trump berates CNN's Kaitlan Collins for 'not smiling' at Oval Office Q&A
TRUMP: Be quiet. You should be ashamed of yourself. You used to be a conservative from Alabama. KAITLAN COLLINS: I'm still from Alabama.
She has more balls than any man in that room
Kaitlan, is, as always, cool under pressure. Keep on keeping on, KC.
I would LOVE it if just one reporter rebutted “Sir, you sound insane and unhinged. All you do is lie and lash out. How can you expect the American people support you?” Just one. Sure you’ll be barred from the media allowed to ask questions, but the country would be in debt to them.
So consistently rude and misogynistic
Omg! He is deranged. I’m taking care of a 91 year old man with dementia and he makes more sense than this mfer!
i don't particularly like kaitlan collins, but that's an A+ response...
At this point I don't feel bad for any journalist that doesn't call him a disgrace and tell him to f*ck off.
Yet she’ll be right there partying with him and the rest of the WHCA in a few weeks…🙄
Trump, Jan 6th rioters went there "with Love"😖 Trump MUST BE Removed from Office and Criminally Charged for his MANY CRIMES. Trump is a Traitor to this Country and it's Constitution. The Dictator Must Be removed from of OUR HOUSE!
The first reporter that says “WHAT the F*CK is WRONG with you?!” to this guy, should get an award 🏆 JFC - why they still show him any deference or respect is beyond me 🤬 🖕🏻
Most hateful president we've ever had.
It’s beyond despicable that people just allowed that POS to spit out all that misogynistic bullshit along with his lies. When will someone put him in his place. He does not have the right to abuse people.
I love @kaitlancollins.bsky.social! She's so good, and I wish she'd post here, too.
He would know how hard it is to fix garbage…first hand. He is the rudest, most insulting, insufferable president in my 50+ years of voting. He proves every single day that he is far, far from competent or presidential.
No president should treat people like that. cbwrong.blogspot.com/2026/06/for-...
So he's alive better luck next month
I dont give a fuck who it is nobody is talking to me like that. Honestly journalists shouldn't be taking that. What, you get tossed from WH? So what all they get is lies anyway.
“Went there with love”….what a complete moron and anyone who buys the felons BS is a moron.
What pathetic piece of white trash
How dare he speak to her that way?!
And they still stand there, in silence, as he continues to belittle them.
WH press corps should take a lesson from Scott Pelley.
What an asshole he is
Trump will have Ellison fire Kaitlan in return for approving Ellison's purchase of Warner Brothers. Trump probably has a list of people for Ellison to fire at CNN.
And he used to be a Democrat from New York. Both of which are now false.
I’d love to see someone he questions like that throw it back at him… “You should be ashamed of yourself…”
He is an utter embarrassment to the USA and the human race in general.
He has openly said in the past that he does this over and over to disable the informational power of the press. He should be called out on the strategy rather than just letting it pass.
It’s hard to listen to this lying misogynist pig.
Good for her, I would to go home and get drunk every night if I had to do her job.
The switch from spewing abuse at Collins and then praising the Jan6ers in one breath was frightening
Lol. She should have snapped back “you were a liberal from ny”
DJT thinks everyone born in Alabama is racist & MAGA.
He is an ignorant slob
why won't these journalists tell him to go fuck off? fight back. don't let him speak to you like that
Somebody please tell him to STFU
Questions I'd love to hear reporters ask trump: - Your ratings are the worst by any president. Does it bother you that you are widely regarded as a total failure? - You are widely regarded as the dumbest person to ever sit in the Oval office. Can you tell the difference between an oval and a circle?
Stop showing him respect. he does not deserve it. Simple question "Mr President, as a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist yourself, how do you justify the hypocrisy of pardoning the Jan 6 insurrectionists"
did any other journalist say anything? did anyone have her back?
"You should be ashamed of yourselves.." The world to America 🇺🇸 Ironic that Trump has a reflecting pool that he never uses for self-reflection.. 🪞
There is absolutely nothing conservative about draft dodger. He’s a Republican no doubt. But not a conservative.
Hope she replies that he used to be a democrat…
You know when you get so sick of someone’s bullshit and whole vibe, that they seem so small and insignificant....anyone else feeling this way about this pathetic loser?
Good for her... Just once I want to hear a reporter snap back
My god he is such an asshole.
He’s such an embarrassment. So many Americans were conned into selling out our country to this guy and most will never realize it.
Man, she's so close. Say "YOU SHUT UP" and we will carry you through the city of your choice on our shoulders in a parade that ends in a festival celebrating you before sending you on an all-expenses-paid trip to the holiday destination of your choice for, shall we say six months?
Why won't he just die?
He used to be a Democrat
“They (Jan 6 rioters) went there with love…” Just. Lock. Him. Up. Already.
Just shut him the fuck up all he does is lie
I’m starting to think much of this is scripted… like wrestling.
Trump is disgusting. Misogynistic racist corrupt and deranged. How in the world can Republicans in office as well as voters support this monster?
There are no gentlemen in that room.
Ok. Trump says these are people who've had tge families destroyed. THE PEOPLE WHO ATTACKED THE CAPITOL! GOOD! I hope their lives are destroyed. The only people Trump has more sympathy for than the January 6th CRIMINALS, are his other besties... the Epstein Johns. Birds of a feather
Can’t wait for someone to say “ you’re not the boss of me!”
But they just take it 🙄 Every one of them should walk out. Like he's really going to answer any questions honestly? They will get nothing of value from these propaganda press conferences.
He exemplifies patriarchy and toxic masculinity. He typifies everyone who says, “the way it used to be”
Someone ever tells me to be quiet, I'm making sure they don't speak for the next 6 weeks! That should have happened to the MF 65 years ago!
He is such a heap of garbage. Always has been.
At a time when we see all the fancy suits & bigwigs that so sycophantically tremble before Trump so publicly... One has to admire journalists like Kaitlan Collins standing there asking questions unafraid & with integrity.
Just once, I want one of these women to be tell him to go fuck himself. To eat shit. That he's an ugly ass motherfucker. Just something, just once.
Once again, no one in the room said a word to defend her. Go ahead, folks, the spell is broken; tell him to shut the fuck up
I’m waiting for someone - anyone - to call him out on his bullying and abusive behavior. Every time comments like this are ignored, it sends a message to him this his hate speech is ok. It is NOT ok.
Sure they went there with love , attacking police officers , threatening to hang his VP. Peaceful people indeed !
Tell him to fuck off to his face, Kaitlan.
WHY didn't she tell him to stop acting as if he were her father & act more like a president? She's a grown women w/a meaningful purpose in being there & he should treat her as such. They need to start speaking up for themselves & all journalists. He's just a very small piece of shit.
Show of hands: Who else finds it both funny and scary that the president can’t hang onto a simple thought from one end of a sentence to the other? Or that he doesn’t seem to remember that this fund of his was supposed to reimburse victims of the government, not the media?
Someone please shut him up!
Trump is a disgusting pig! Kaitlan has more class in her pinky finger than that pig will ever have. Thank you Kaitlan Collins for asking the tough questions and not kissing his fat ass like most of your colleagues do.
I’m from Alabama and I’m not conservative!
he is such an asshole
He hates women so he rapes them.
"And you were a Republican who became an independent and then became a Democrat for eight years before again changing your affiliation. It's fun to know things about the past!"
So tired of this shit
She was smiling when she called him out
For once, just ONCE can’t a journalist snap back at him and tell him he can’t talk to people like that? How has this not happened!? He’s literally never been told “no” throughout his entire pampered life!
“Mr President, you are a weak man and clearly afraid to answer basic questions. You’re the President of the United States, and you should act with the dignity the office deserves”.
WHAT A CUNT!! Kaitlan is wonderful though.
Jealous disgusting fat ugly LOSER fucktard. That's all I got tonight.
Love Kaitlan Collins. She deserves more praise than she gets. She's a very tough and quick journalist that knows exactly what to ask in the moment. Her show on CNN is top notch.
It’s like he’s looking at all of his buddies in the cafeteria. That’s a classic bully tactic to berate somebody but talk about them in the third person as if they’re not there to all their friends. I have a lot of experience with that. You just gotta talk over him
Trump attacking Kaitlan Collins: CNN's a very corrupt organization, with a corrupt reporter standing right there, never smiles. Young, beautiful woman, never smiles. I never see a smile on her face. I see her standing with such hatred in her eyes.
This is a creepy, undignified and defamatory statement. She is a professional reporter. She doesn’t need to smile. She doesn’t need to shut up and look pretty while he dodges questions about everything from Epstein to Iran to Private Citizen Kushner negotiating things.
Trump is a disgrace to humanity Respects to Kaitlan Collins
One more time for the people in the back: Women do not exist merely to please you.
He always seems to single out the women, doesn't he?
And she has hatred in her eyes because she's looking at an asshole who tries to demean her and the importance of her job.
He's like the creeps who ask women why they aren't smiling as they walk down the street
Me taking notes of all the reporters in the room staying quiet...
Shut him down press people.
Women are not here to smile for men. Especially when we’re in a professional capacity. Tell him he’s out of line you fucking cowards.
To be fair, it's got to be hard to smile when you're staring at a giant load of 💩.
I'm sure this will turn their relationship around.
The world hates him. I hate him. You hate him. We hate him.
She stands for all of us.
Look who is talking about stoking hatred! Trump hates more people,countries,the press, Democrats I’m sure Democracy and so much more than anyone I know!
Love Kaitlan Collins! Not all heroes wear capes! Keep fighting for Freedom of the Press!
I'm never going to play cards with Kaitlin Collins. If that shit didn't make her snort laugh, her poker face must be unbreakable.
It’s fucking disgusting that not a single person in that room defended her. Tell that fat fuck to shut his gaping hole. It’s also fucking disgusting that the Epstein class media won’t play this clip more than once.
If he thinks that’s “hate”, he’s never experienced the true hate and revulsion that tens of millions of human beings on this planet have festering in their souls for him.
He’s such a misogynistic racist narcissistic pedophilic RAPIST! #DumpTrump #PedophileTrump
He insulted her once before, bitching that she "never smiled". Her response was that he was suggesting she smile while talking about abused young women. Still at this point Ms. Collins shouldn't allow herself to be his prop every time he wants to swing his dick at a woman, CNN's "access" be damned!
This is UNCONSCIONABLE. Enough is enough. Don't all you cowards realize the next journo he goes off on could be YOU????
Next question: Why do you say this about a woman reporter but never about any of the men who also never smile?
I wouldn’t smile either if I was sitting in front of Trump. The world will be a better place when he is gone forever.
This is how he demands respect from women, they must smile at him.
“With hatred in her eyes” - Yes, Donald, @kaitlancollins.bsky.social is all of us.
She speaks for the rest of us.
As a former journalist, if somebody I covered criticized me for not smiling I’d consider it a win.
And all power to her, you demented, psychotic halfwit.
The only women who feel comfortable enough to smile about being in the same room with Trump, a sexual predator, are the Republican women who serve in his administration. Easily identified by the crosses they wear while ignoring the fact that Trump appears several hundred times in the Epstein files.
I just don't understand WHY No one Pushes Back on his Bullying... I mean Fuck this guy he's a Pretend POTUS POS but it doesn't mean he can treat other human beings like shit...
How can any woman be Republican?
Trump is a bully. How embarrassing for our nation that our president acts like a classic misogynist by attacking a female reporter who is there to do her job. She should respond by saying that his adult diaper stinks and she is being overwhelmed by fumes.
She’s not the only one with those eyes!!!
How have we gotten to a place where this kind of derogatory, sexist language is just accepted from the Oval Office?
He’s so profoundly broken like all the ghouls and bootlickers he surrounds himself with.
Motherfucker really pulled the "You'd be prettier if you smiled more" bit. This is what galls me about him. He is the most transparently obvious cartoon sleazeball imaginable, and somehow that works for him.
You can blame all her hatred on all that extracurricular bullshit, but it’s him. She just hates him.
What a sexist, misogynistic, gutter- dwelling creep!!
Can you IMAGINE a female politician saying this about a young g male reporter?
Why is he always picking on women. What a bully. The girl is just trying to do her job as a reporter and he reduces her to the beautiful girl that never smiles. Maybe she doesn't smile for pedophiles. He takes everything personal because he has thin skin (and a lot of it).
The way the corporate media handles Trump with kid-gloves is one of the most dispiriting aspects of this era. Sure, if they fight back, they might lose access...but access to what? His stream of lies and bullshit? These members of the press are just as much his enablers as any republican politician.
He's got the imaginary accordion going again.
She is smart and intelligent -- something trump can't stand.
And sure enough, all the press LACKEYS in that room will attend the WHCD like trained Pavlov dogs, just to hear that ghoul insulting them again and again.
Larry Ellison will force CNN to fire Collins because she has hatred in her eyes.
A bully attacks when they are feeling insecure or upset. He's attacking everyone.
Creepy, weird, sexist..... I don't understand anyone who can listen to this pos and think he's fit for any office, let alone potus.
Mr. Piggy is at it again. He really is threatened by smart women, particularly intelligent women like Kaitlyn Collins. He thinks women should look pretty and smile like Melania (who obviously hates his guts, BTW).
He is so full of shit, it’s hard not to vomit.
You'd think he'd be used to seeing hatred in women's eyes. His mom, his sisters, his niece, his wives (especially his current one), those girls he procured with his BFF Jeff, all women have ever looked at him was with hatred.
Smiling at a man who brags about sexual assault is an invitation in that man's mind. Not smiling is smart self-preservation.
Who in their right mind would ever smile while looking at him? What a #Trumphole.
The old fucker is describing himself. 🙄
He goes off topic a lot.
What a fucking piece of shit! 🤬
I was actually hoping she would tell him to F off - but he’s not worth whatever harm that would bring her
He is disgusting. Smiling at him is it not part of her job description. She is a professional journalist.
Will smile when you’re funny
She doesn't smile enough is such old man sh!t. Somebody get grandpa to sleep. He's scaring our gfs again! 🤣🤣🤣
And the cowards just stood there and allowed this gross sexist attack?
Because you're standing in front of her, that's why.
The reason she's not smiling is because she is a SERIOUS journalist, doing her job! #Trump only likes insignificant MAGA dolls. #TrumpSucks #CNNKaitlanRocks
"Just how fucking weak and pathetic are you, you insecure piece of shit?" - fucking someone, anyone, in that room, fucking blurt that out, god fucking damnnit, fucking say it, let the cameras fucking hear, goddamnit, fucking shit, fucking do it you fucking cowards
Kaitlin is not eye candy, for your ogling, gross, pleasure. She’s a serious journalist unlike your dumb flying monkeys with the Mar-a-Lago fish lips, Botox, and bad hair dye jobs.
If he looked into the eyes of most of the women in this country he'd see that same hatred.
It's hard to smile for a sex offender, a fraudster and convicted criminal.
The most hateful cruel person says what?
Flashing back to every creep on the street who yelled "Smile"
Everyone knows you can't be a serious reporter if you aren't smiling all the time. Excellent for natural disasters, plane crashes, house fires.
Elderly boomer mistakes 👀 of intelligence & journalistic professionalism with the downcast submissive 👀 of bootlicker staffers who love being part of a national grift.
Fucking accordion hands because he knows he's full of shit
Wasn't the expectation of smiling also placed on the Epstein girls?
Ummm, because everyone hates you? Just a thought.
Trump—Epstein Files™️ You want to talk about hatred~~ @realdonaldtrumppar.bsky.social The World Hates You— You Are A👇
It would totally make my day to hear Kaitlin say, 'I'm here to report the news, not smile for you, motherfucker."
She's a professional and he's not even close. The nerve of this grifter.
I'm sure everyone will have a good laugh about this at the next white house corespondents dinner
She is looking at you…
If I ever go postal, it will be bec some asshole man tells me to "smile."
If he wants to see some real hatred in the eyes, he needs to come see me. 🤬
He’s so full of shit. Her job isn’t to smile for him.
Wait for all the smiles when he enters the big sleep!
How can anyone say something like this and not get called out by someone? I couldn’t hold my tongue.
Hatred in her eyes? Like Trump’s self-hatred? Like Trump’s hatred of “the other”? 🙄
Standing near a sexual predator will do that.
Women typically don’t look at rapists with admiration.
Its not her f*cking job to smile at you, you f*cking FREAK!
Sounds like he’s talking about Melaria
How the world sees America.
Sue him for defamation, Ms Collins. Zero difficulty proving malice on his part.
Trump just insulted Kaitlan Collins and CNN with bullshit lies. Kaitlan stood in front of Trump and took the bullshit. At what point, are we going to tell Trump to go fuck himself?
I wish she would laugh in his face. Being insulted by this vile little man is a badge of honor
I wish I could volunteer to do it...it would be an honor.
Not a spine or balls amongst them
Surprised she didn't. I agree - someone, and preferably one of the women he's denigrated publicly, will come back at him with both barrels blazing, and he'll be too confused to continue.
Journalists need to speak to Trump as he speaks to them. Trump took over CBS and now Trump is working on CNN. Trump will not stop until he has A full State Media like Fox .
At some point it would be hysterical to see her break the fourth wall, look at the camera, and just say.... "We all know he's batshit crazy right?" - Animaniacs style.
Tell his criminal children too
And shes not permitted to rebuttal Take the abuse The Republican way
Now with our votes! GO BLUE!
CNN is owned by Trump loyalists…block the channel.
Perhaps the current press should go back and watch exchanges between Dan Rather and Richard Nixon!
I don’t know. They should just insult him back. They’re going to get banned anyway.
I yell it daily from my house, but he can’t hear me from here.
I’m sorry…what does she have to smile about? She’s covering a criminal, convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, pathological lying thief who shits his pants She should get an award for tolerating the stench that permeates any room he is in
He knows she's not intimidated by him and it drives him crazy so he insults her and cnn like the wuss bully he is!!
These reporters won’t because they have to bow to their oligarch overlords who own the MSM…I’d kill for one chance to put a microphone in Pedo Donny’s face and respond when he attempts to insult me.
It needs to happen right now. No more. Either stand up for yourselves or lose all integrity forever. Tell him to go fuck himself. Is not like you're getting anything out of this anymore anyway. The story is that he's fleecing the taxpayers and destroying democracy. You shoulda stayed on that.
Collins if you're reading this I think you're f**king 🔥
Do these people like the abuse? Serious question needing to be asked at this point. Like, how much abuse is this country going to take?
True punishment would be to just quit covering him. All journalists would just need to boycott. He loves being in the spotlight and to lose that would be humiliating. We wouldn’t miss any important information. In a way we’re just encouraging the behavior by consuming the garbage.
Until all the Main Stream Media reporters at the White House tell Trump “to go fuck himself” and walk out nothing is going to change. Trump needs them more than they need access to him. The American public would cheer wildly if just one White House reporter would do that. Trump is a serial abuser
Why doesn't CNN stick up for her?
On more than 1 occasion I have stated that when he began that shit their response should be, "That's rude, immaterial, & as a voter I am your boss. So STFU & answer the question".
i mean, he's a rapist, dude
Does the old geezer know that he first started serving as President 9 years ago, and Kaitlan Collins has been covering the Presidency ever since then, meanwhile while she is definitely beautiful, she's old enough to know she doesn't have to smile?
I miss watching Yamiche Alcindor tear him up
Do male journalists have to smile?🤬
The president is losing his mind on TV, right in front of us. I just called both of my senators. Again.
I think it’s amazing how she takes massive public verbal blows, stays centered, and fires back one intelligent dogged question after another. She impressive.
what is there to 'smile at'? the stench and feeling of disgust must be overwhelming...
My favorite response to the, hey lady smile, is "I don't exist for you"
And I've noticed long before this that she has a very beautiful smile with the cutest little upturned lips like they're painted on a doll's face. This is definitely about her not faking smiles around him like those other lying women he surrounds himself with.
If he doesn't think a beautiful woman doesn't not smile at him adoringly, he hates her no matter who she is. He is such a petty man.
Kaitlan Collins doesn’t need to smile for Trump. Nobody does.
I'm DESPERATE for Kaitlan or someone to say, "Back off, buster! YOU work for US, and you don't have the right or, frankly, the credibility to say that to ANYbody."
I know when she'll smile
Hatred in *her* eyes? Dude, look in the mirror to see where the hatred truly is.
We are in a place the United States has never been before. Meaning, if something happened to POTUS tomorrow, *literally* at least 2/3rds of the US population (and most of the rest of the world) would breathe a sigh of relief. It's sad really. But I also have anger for those who made it happen.
Kaitlan Collins: "Is the $1.8 billion DOJ fund dead or is it on hold?" Trump: "I'd have to ask the lawyers...The weaponization fund, as far as I'm concerned, was a beautiful thing...People like you have abused our people so badly...you should be ashamed of yourself."
I'm positive that Kaitlan Collins didn't beat up cops and smear shit all over the capitol.
The one who should be ashamed of himself is the felon trump.
"Our people." The poop smearers, the monument desecrators, the raving lunatics scaling the Capitol and breaking in, stabbing with Trump flags...
Just once I want someone in that room to tell him to go fuck himself. He's such a vile asshole.
Trump always looks like an even bigger idiot than usual when he is dealing with Kaitlan Collins.
I just want to smack him upside his head.
She was just attacked by the government. She should submit a claim!
Trump is waiting for you to be distracted by something else.
What a truly horrible bastard
He’s beyond repulsive and what nerve. To talk to her like that shows he feels emboldened and thinks he’ll never be held accountable
And then... He starts bitching about CNN being nasty and why doesn't she ever smile.
I hadn't seen or listened to him in quite some time, but I caught this performance. He's really, really bad isn't he?
His 'people' are traitors to the United States of America.
Trump was never going to give this money away.... ....he was just looking for an excuse to keep it all Trump never gave money away in his life
Trump rudely attacks Kaitlan Collins of CNN, accusing her of being the reason for his $1.8 billion "anti government weaponization fund" - "She used to be a conservative, she's from Alabama."
Worst president we’ve ever had.
at this point, i think kaitlan is doing this for street cred points. a REAL journalist would sit at their desk, watch c-span, then write the truth. or at least say "the FUCK you think you are, old man?"
Dear Donald Trump: January 6th, 2021 was an attempted coup on our federal government so you could take it over It was violent and your supporters who beat policemen and damage the capital are criminals. The American people
Damnnnnnn he’s on one today ain’t he 🧐
She did used to be a conservative. She may still be. She came up under Tucker Carlson. President dumbshit doesn't seem to realize that not everyone from a shithole red state is a klanservative.
Let's flip the expectations. Why don't we require men to "smile pretty"? Always be pleasant but not too pleasant. Always look professional but not too professional. You'll look pretty. Trump attacks CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins for not smiling: 'Hatred in her eyes' www.rawstory.com/cnn-kaitlan-...
His eyes are dead. Symptom of tertiary syphilis. (& fellow "journalists" staying silent lets him get away with endless attacks on women. When they could be reminding people of the last thing girls in the Epstein files must have seen.)
Donald should try being as hot as Obama or gtfo.
