Trump Again Attacks Kaitlan Collins as a ‘Dummy, Low IQ Person’ for Russian Sanctions Question
"You don’t know anything. You’re fake news CNN," the president says in his latest takedown of the White House correspondent The post Trump Again Attacks Kaitlan Collins as a ‘Dummy, Low IQ Person’ for Russian Sanctions Question appeared first on TheWrap .
President Donald Trump once again took aim at CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins, labeling her "a dummy, low IQ person" during a heated exchange over Russia sanctions. The White House correspondent questioned Trump about the waiver of sanctions, specifically asking if it was tied to the release of American hostage Stephen Hubbard. Trump argued that easing sanctions was part of ongoing negotiations to secure Hubbard's freedom, asserting that those who questioned his approach "don’t know how life works."
Collins pressed Trump further, asking directly if the sanctions were lifted in exchange for Hubbard's release. The president responded with a series of insults, calling Collins "fake news" and questioning her intelligence. Despite Trump's denials that he provided any concessions to Putin, he insisted Hubbard's release was directly attributable to his actions.
The incident highlights a pattern of Trump's confrontational rhetoric towards female journalists, particularly Collins. Earlier this year, Trump banned CNN, MSNBC, and Politico from the White House grounds, and he has repeatedly criticized Collins and other female reporters on social media. In September, he disparaged Collins in a tweet, accusing her of spreading "FICTION AND LIES" during a panel discussion.
Trump's behavior reflects a broader pattern of diminishing the credibility of CNN, which has seen a decline in ratings.
