Kaitlan Collins Shows Off Mug With Trump Dig
Key Points:
- CNN’s Kaitlan Collins displayed a mug on her show The Source with the message “America needs nasty women,” subtly responding to President Donald Trump’s frequent criticisms of her.
- Trump has repeatedly targeted Collins, notably calling her “a nasty person” during a 2023 town hall and misspelling her name in a December Truth Social post while labeling her “stupid and nasty.”
- Trump banned CNN and other media outlets from the White House and Air Force One, but a judicial ruling overturned the ban; he then personally singled out Collins for criticism, telling her she “shouldn’t be here.”
- In a recent Time interview, Trump disparaged Collins as “a very average person” and “the most unhappy young person I’ve ever seen,” while complaining about negative media coverage of his actions.
- CNN has publicly supported Collins and its White House reporting team amid the president’s attacks, though the network did not immediately comment on the mug incident.
