Witty response of latest female reporter attacked by Trump
Donald Trump’s five most controversial confrontations with journalists
Donald Trump publicly criticised CNN's chief White House correspondent, Kaitlan Collins, calling her “stupid and nasty” on his Truth Social platform.
Trump's remarks were reportedly in response to Collins's question about the increased cost of a new ballroom, though Collins clarified her actual question concerned Venezuela.
This incident is the latest in a series of attacks by Trump on female journalists who pose challenging questions.
Other female reporters, including Catherine Lucey, Mary Bruce, and Katie Rogers, have also been subjected to personal insults from Trump.
While a White House spokesperson attributed Trump's comments to his non-politically correct style, his estranged niece, Mary Trump, suggested he might be “rattled.”
