“Caitlin Collin’s [sic] of Fake News CNN, always Stupid and Nasty, asked me why the new Ballroom was costing more money than originally thought one year ago. I said because it is going to be double the size, and the quality of finishes and interiors has been brought to the highest level,” he whined.
“Also, the column SPAN has been substantially increased for purposes of viewing. It is actually under budget and ahead of schedule, as my jobs always are. It’s just much bigger and more beautiful than originally planned. Interestingly, and seldom reported, there are no taxpayer dollars involved. It is being fully paid for by private donations. FAKE NEWS CNN, and the guy who runs the whole corrupt operation that owns it, is one of the worst in the business. Their ratings are so low that they’re not even counted or relevant anymore. MAGA!!!”
Kaitlan shared Trump’s message in an Instagram Story and captioned the post: “Technically my question was about Venezuela.”
If you didn’t know, Trump‘s administration bombed alleged drug vessels in the Caribbean sea and called for Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro to step down amid rising tensions.
On Friday’s The Source with Kaitlan Collins, Kaitlan reported the White House hired a new architect for the project after the president clashed with the person originally on the job.
She also played a clip from her interview with Trump at The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts, per The Wrap.
On December 5, she asked Trump about his threats against Venezuela following his peace prize award from FIFA.
“Mr. President, what would you say to people who say that prize might conflict with your pledge to strike Venezuela?” she asked.
In response, Trump said he ended “eight wars and we have a ninth coming … which nobody’s ever done before.”
“But I want to really save lives. I don’t need prizes. I need to save lives. And we’re saving a lot of lives. I’ve saved millions and millions of lives. And that’s really what I want to do. And I also want to run a great country. And the United States right now is the hottest country anywhere in the world.”
This is just the latest time he’s lashed out at a female reporter in recent weeks, following vulgar remarks and calling one “piggy.”
