Trump attacks CNN's Kaitlan Collins after UN clash, claims she has 'TRUMP addiction'
President Donald Trump attacked CNN chief White House correspondent Kaitlan Collins on Tuesday, accusing her of having a "TRUMP addiction" in a social media post following their confrontation at the United Nations. In his Truth Social post, Trump called Collins a "Third Rate 'Reporter'" and CNN "Fake News," questioning why she was in the press area after CNN personalities said they would not cover him. He also targeted MSNBC and accused the news organizations of being "treasonous." The exchange follows Trump's recent ban of CNN, MSNBC, and Politico from White House events. Collins rebutted Trump at the UN, noting CNN was credentialed by the United Nations to cover the General Assembly. Their contentious relationship dates back years, including a 2022 interview Trump abruptly ended.
