Trump calls CNN’s journalist Kaitlan Collins “very dumb and unhappy”

US President Donald Trump has called CNN chief correspondent Kaitlan Collins a “very dumb and unhappy fake news CNN ‘reporter’” in a post on Truth Social.

Trump said Collins has very low ratings, and she participated in a discussion where everything was “fiction and lies,” Caliber.Az reports.

The remarks came in response to a discussion in which a New York Times reporter said Trump’s recent rally in South Carolina was “half empty” and “really low energy”.

“You would think that CNN, which is suffering terribly in the TV Ratings, would get rid of their 3rd rate ‘anchors,’ and try to bring credibility back to their once storied network. It is fading FAST! See you all at the Republican National Convention tomorrow night!!!” Trump wrote.

In 2026, Trump has repeatedly criticised Collins for “not smiling”.
