Trump Calls Media Members ‘Dummies’ and ‘Stupid’ a Day After His Oval Office Tirade
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump attacked CNN Chief White House Correspondent Kaitlan Collins outside the White House, calling her a "dummy" and "low-IQ person" during a tense exchange over his decision to waive sanctions on Russia.

- These remarks followed a similar tirade the previous day against The Independent's White House correspondent Andrew Feinberg, illustrating Trump's escalating pattern of media confrontations over foreign policy.
