The President went on to call Kaitlan Collins ‘the worst reporter’ in yet another attack on female journalists

CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins asked Trump what he would say to Epstein’s victims who ‘feel they haven’t gotten justice’.

Trump shot back: ‘What did you say? You know, you are the worst reporter. You know, she’s a young woman.

‘I don’t think I’ve ever seen you smile,’ he said. ‘I’ve known you for ten years. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a smile on your face.’

Collins replied: ‘Well, I’m asking you about survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse, Mr President.’

Trump bitterly replied: ‘You know why you’re not smiling? Because you know you’re not telling the truth. And you’re a very dishonest organisation, and they should be ashamed of you.’

Just days after 3,000,000 more damning files related to paedophile Epstein were released, Trump told reporters it was ‘really time’ for the country to move on.

He also dismissed the revelation that his Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and former friend Elon Musk were in the latest batch of files, saying: ‘I’m sure they’re fine.’

‘I think it’s time now for the country to maybe get onto something else like health care. Something that people care about,’ he said.

Trump’s recent rhetoric around the files is a 180 from the platform he campaigned on for President, in which he promised to release the Epstein client list.

After repeatedly mentioning the files during his 2024 campaign, Trump pivoted and called the case ‘pretty boring stuff’, even claiming it was a ‘Democratic hoax’.

Trump promised us law and order, then went to pardon a bunch of rich scammers and paedophiles. It’s all just so exhausting at this point,’ Adam*, a 25-year-old Trump voter, told Metro last year.

It’s not just formerly loyal Trump voters turning against the US President – Republican lawmakers, many of whom are staunch MAGA supporters and Trump’s fiercest defenders, have also soured.
