Donald Trump Likens CNN’s Kaitlan Collins to Trans Actress Dylan Mulvaney at WHCD: ‘She Never Smiles’

  • On Friday, President Donald Trump used the rescheduled White House Correspondents Dinner in Washington to mock CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins, dismissing her award as "fake" and criticizing her facial expressions.
  • Collins had just accepted a WHCA Award for Excellence in Presidential News Coverage Under Deadline Pressure for her 2025 reporting on a meeting between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
  • During the speech, Trump compared Collins to influencer Dylan Mulvaney, claiming the 2023 Bud Light campaign cost the company $35 billion in market cap; the remarks drew near silence from the audience.
  • CNN defended Collins as an "exceptional, trusted journalist," while the reporter wrote on Instagram that the dinner's purpose included "reminding everyone why the First Amendment" matters.
  • The scaled-back gathering drew about 700 guests and had been rescheduled from April after a gunman breached security outside the venue, forcing organizers to rush the president off stage.
