‘You never smile, you’re the worst reporter’: Trump snaps at CNN's Collins over Epstein question

Another explosive White House press moment unfolded when President Donald Trump was pressed about the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files. Instead of addressing the substance of the question, Trump turned his focus to CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins, telling her he had 'never seen her smile' and calling her 'the worst reporter.' The exchange quickly went viral, with critics accusing the president of dodging serious questions about Epstein survivors and resorting to personal attacks. Supporters argued Trump was pushing back against hostile media. The clash has reignited debate over press freedom, accountability, and whether the Epstein files will ever be fully addressed.
