CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins shares why she thinks Donald Trump targets her in media Q&As
CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins recently shared her theory on why President Donald Trump frequently targets her during media interactions. Collins told The Daily Beast that she believes Trump dislikes the questions she asks in the White House Briefing Room. The interview, conducted in April, was published on Wednesday by the outlet.
Trump has now attacked Collins on at least two occasions for “not smiling” during press events. Collins is one of several female reporters the president has publicly criticized over the years. The 79-year-old president has a documented track record of singling out women journalists during briefings and press conferences.
Collins discussed Trump’s pattern of targeting female reporters during a conversation with a New York Times White House correspondent. She suggested the attacks stem from her line of questioning rather than any personal animosity. The CNN anchor framed the president’s behavior as a reaction to persistent and pointed journalism.
Trump’s criticism of Collins has drawn attention to his broader relationship with the press corps. The president has repeatedly clashed with journalists who challenge him during White House Q&A sessions. His remarks about Collins’s facial expressions have sparked wider discussions about how he engages with female members of the media.
Collins currently serves as a prominent anchor at CNN and regularly appears in the White House Briefing Room. Her willingness to ask direct questions has made her a frequent target of presidential pushback. The anchor’s comments provide a rare on-the-record perspective from a journalist who has experienced Trump’s public criticisms firsthand.
