In a fiery press conference at the Oval Office on Thursday, President Donald Trump

delivered a blistering critique aimed squarely at CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins,

accusing her of bias and questioning her credibility. The confrontation, which

quickly dominated headlines, saw Trump lash out at Collins and her network with unfiltered, harsh language.

The incident unfolded during a press briefing where Trump was fielding questions

on the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. While addressing a question from

another reporter about whether he believed President Putin genuinely desired peace,

Kaitlan Collins interrupted with her own query: “Do you trust President Putin?” This

interjection set off a rapid-fire exchange that would soon escalate into a full-blown media showdown.

Trump’s response to the question about Putin was measured at first. “I believe that—yeah,

I believe that he would like to see something happen. I think he would like to see something

happen. I think it could have happened a long time ago,” he remarked, seemingly deflecting the

inquiry. However, the tone shifted dramatically when he turned his attention to Collins.

With pointed emphasis, Trump accused her of having close ties with his political rival,

former President Joe Biden. “I know he [Biden] is a friend of yours,” Trump said,

his voice rising as he continued his tirade.
