Jump to contentAllNewsSportCultureLifestyleCNN correspondent Kaitlan Collins (AFP/Getty)President Donald Trump has launched a personal attack on CNN's chief White House correspondent Kaitlan Collins, describing her as "very dumb and unhappy". Trump's criticism on Truth Social followed a CNN panel hosted by Collins, during which a reporter noted low energy and empty seats at a recent Trump rally in South Carolina. In his online post, Trump attacked CNN's viewing figures and suggested the network should remove its "3rd rate anchors" to regain credibility. Addressing previous insults regarding her demeanour, Collins emphasised that journalists should keep public focus on their questions and answers rather than personal spats. The tirade forms part of an ongoing pattern of personal insults directed by Trump towards female journalists covering his political activities.
