Laughter Busts Out as Trump Attacks CNN’s Kaitlan Collins at International Press Conference

A smattering of laughter erupted when President Donald Trump attacked CNN anchor and White House correspondent Kaitlan Collins during a press conference on the world stage.

Trump has been raging for days at CNN and others over coverage of a series of surprise U.S. airstrikes on nuclear sites in Iran, and has long made a habit of targeting Collins over her displeasing questions.

The president held a press conference at the NATO summit Wednesday — not long after Trump raged at CNN during a photo op — and drew laughter from his delegation by assailing Collins as he called on her:

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Yes, please, go ahead. Oh, fake news, CNN?

(LAUGHTER) Aye-yi-yi! Here we go! When you hear this question–.

CNN WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT KAITLAN COLLINS: Thank you for–.

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: You should really say how great our soldiers and our warriors are.

CNN WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT KAITLAN COLLINS: I think everyone appreciates our soldiers and our warriors.

I do have two questions for you, Mr. President. You just cited Israeli intelligence on these attacks. Earlier, you said US intelligence was inconclusive.

Are you relying on Israeli intelligence for your assessment of the impact–.

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: No–.

CNN WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT KAITLAN COLLINS: –of the strikes?

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Now, this is also — Iran made the statement, and it’s also — if you read the document that was given, that you can talk about if you’d like, the document said it could be very severe damage.

But they didn’t take that. They said it could be limited or it could very severe. They really didn’t know, other than to say it could limited or could be very, very severe, and you didn’t choose to put that — because it was very early after.

Since then, we’ve collected additional intelligence. We’ve also spoken to people who have seen the site, and the site is obliterated. And we think everything nuclear is down there. They didn’t take it out.
