CNN's Kaitlan Collins Theorizes That Trump Keeps Insulting Her Because 'He Doesn't Like My Questions'

Kaitlan Collins is responding to President Donald Trump's fierce criticism of her questioning.

In an April interview with Interview Magazine published on Wednesday, June 10, New York Times White House correspondent Shawn McCreesh asked Collins, 34, if she thinks Trump is particularly harsh on female reporters. Collins, CNN's chief White House correspondent, has been the subject of many of the president's recent tirades.

"I think it's because he doesn't like my questions in the briefing room. I don't think it's a personal reflection," Collins told McCreesh. "I do think that this term, people have started to notice the difference in his reaction when women like Mary Bruce or Nancy Cordes are doing the questioning."

"When I asked him about [Jeffrey] Epstein in the Oval Office, he said, 'In the 10 years you've covered me, I've never seen you smile,' " she continued, referring to a Feb. 3 incident in the Oval Office. "He wasn't even really listening to the question."

Women are supposed to be subservient, quiet and attractive objects for his sexual entertainment, not smart, mouthy and confrontational.

Trump knows the questions before he sits down..and because he has all but silenced the MSM with threats of revoking network licenses and revenge lawsuits he assumes he can spew his rigged elections/Iran is not a war vomit with impunity…but when a woman, particularly a woman of color, asks for proof and throws his lies in his face, he pulls his don’t-you-know-who-I-am shit, hurls insults, calls names, shuts down the interview, and storms out (crawls out)…
