Trump Calls CNN's Kaitlan Collins a 'Sleazebag' in Media Feud

President Donald Trump called CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins a "SLEAZEBAG" with a "TRUMP addiction" on Truth Social, escalating his conflict with the media after banning several outlets from the White House. Trump's remarks followed his in-person confrontation with Collins at the United Nations General Assembly, where he questioned her presence, and came as CNN, Politico, and MS NOW mounted a legal challenge over the bans, with other networks boycotting the White House press pool. The president also criticized the outlets' legal action, claiming the case was assigned to a "totally disloyal Judge," and accused the media of being "sick, treasonous, and demented," while Collins said the U.N. had permitted CNN to cover the event.
