Trump was criticizing Collins’ network after a question about the $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund when he turned his attention to the CNN anchor.
“Some of you will believe it, like CNN will believe it, because they knew what was going on and they’re crooked as hell. CNN is a very corrupt organization,” he said.
Trump started to take aim at Collins, whom he has attacked during previous press events.

“She’s a young, beautiful woman. Never smiles. I never see a smile off her face, I see her standing there with hatred in her eyes, like she has hatred because we have borders, because we have a strong military, because we cut our taxes, because we do things that everybody wanted and then we win our election in a massive landslide.”
He said, “The reporter should be happy,” describing the war in Iran as “a detour,” and part of “saving our country.”
