- CNN Panel Excoriates Trump’s WHCD Speech: ‘He Bombed! He Objectively Bombed!...
“My, my!” Said CNN anchor Laura Coates, seconds after President Donald Trump’s speech at Friday’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner. “Was that the President of the United States? The network’s panel of analysts wasted little time tearing into the president for his hour-and-four minute address at the Waldorf Astoria in Washington. Notably, Coates and co-anchor John Berman immediately read a statement from CNN president Mark Thompson standing behind the network’s journalists — and a second statement from a network spokesperson backing Kaitlan Collins, who Trump targeted in one particularly shocking moment. “Kaitlan Collins is an exceptional, trusted journalist being honored tonight for her depth of knowledge and the context she provides to audiences all over the world,” Berman said, reading the statement issued by a network spokesperson. “She reports every day from the White House and the field with real strength and tenacity and skillfully brings that reporting to the anchor chair and CNN platforms every day. We stand by her to the fullest extent.” Coates noted Trump’s attacks against several other CNN anchors — including Jake Tapper and Anderson Cooper — as she read the statement from Thompson. “We stand by our journalists and the integrity and fair-mindedness with which the CNN team reports the news,” Coates said, quoting Thompson. “Honest, accurate journalism may sometimes irritate politicians, but our right to report and present that reporting to the public without government interference is fully protected by the US Constitution. CNN will continue to exercise this right.” Van Jones — who, earlier in the evening, gave Trump kudos for attending the dinner — proceeded to bash his speech. “I think the worst thing you can say is that it just wasn’t funny at all,” Jones said. “It just wasn’t funny. It was mean and small. But you can be mean and small and funny. This was mean and small and not funny. And he didn’t talk about any American besides himself and his enemies. There are people at home who can’t figure out how to pay for gas. There are people at home who worry about their nephew who’s serving overseas. There’s people at home who have real problems, who would love to see somebody reflect their reality and maybe make fun of some of their enemies, some of the their problems. He missed the entire opportunity to talk to those people.” CNN contributor Alyssa Farah Griffin… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - Trump Unleashes Nasty Tirade at Ilhan Omar: ‘She Oughta Get the Hell Out of Ou...President Donald Trump launched a wild rant at Friday’s make-up White House Correspondents’ Dinner towards Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), declaring, “She oughta get the hell out of our country!” Speaking about what he described as “California’s policies of enabling wildfires, paying drug addicts to be homeless, giving free sex changes to illegals, and telling rich people they’re going to take away all your money,” Trump claimed that people are “fleeing in droves.” “We can’t have that in this country,” the president said. “It’s becoming such a horrible and dangerous location that Ilhan Omar, one of my favorites, and her brother are thinking about moving together. They’re very much in love.” Here, the president was once again referencing unfounded claims that the congresswoman married her brother to gain entrance into the U.S. from Somalia. In reality, Omar and her family fled the civil war in Somalia when she was eight, before spending four years in a refugee camp in Kenya. They arrived in the U.S. in 1995, when Omar was 12 years old. “A video has surfaced recently of Ilhan giving a speech, referring to World War II as World War 11,” Trump continued. “And they asked her about that, and she still thought she got it right. But I’m not surprised, because she’s a low I.Q. person, and she’s also a very dishonest person, and she oughta get the hell out of our country!” The president added, “She shouldn’t be here. She shouldn’t be in our country. She also calls her brother ‘husband number one.’ Omar is reportedly being investigated for fraud. She revised her net worth. I was shocked to see that she was worth much more than $30 million. And then when the press got on her, she revised it slightly downward to less than $18,000.” Omar told TMZ in May that she believes she’s being unfairly targeted because the Trump administration is full of “racists” and is “bigoted.” Watch the full clip above via CNN.The post Trump Unleashes Nasty Tirade at Ilhan Omar: ‘She Oughta Get the Hell Out of Our Country!’ first appeared on Mediaite.

- ‘Who the Hell Wrote That Line?!’ Trump Seethes After His Fat Joke About Chri...President Donald Trump wondered, “Who the hell wrote that line?!” after a joke about former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie’s weight got minimal laughter at Friday’s make-up White House Correspondents’ Dinner. The dinner was rescheduled after Cole Tomas Allen allegedly opened fire outside the Washington Hilton Hotel ballroom, wounding a Secret Service agent whose bulletproof vest was hit with a gunshot. No one was killed in the incident, and Allen has since pleaded not guilty. Referencing his speech on the 4th of July for America’s 250th birthday, which was delayed due to weather, Trump again claimed that 450,000 people were initially there, despite conceding it may have only been 422,000 at the time on Truth Social. “It was a fantastic celebration,” Trump touted. “But I can exclusively reveal to you this evening that for the heaviest of the heavyweights, we will have sloppy Chris Christie, one of the sloppiest human beings you’ll ever meet.” He continued, incorrectly reciting Illinois Governor JB Pritzker’s title, “Fighting, I would say, I could mention the governor of Chicago, but I’m gonna mention, instead, [Rep.] Jerry Nadler [D-NY], and they’re fighting for a big piece of cheesecake. Big fat piece of cheesecake.” “Who the hell wrote that line?” he said, as the camera panned to a confused crowd. “But it is true.” Referencing CNN’s Anderson Cooper and MS NOW’s Lawrence O’Donnell, Trump went on, “Anderson Cooper is going to fight Lawrence O’Donnell. I’m not a fan of Lawrence O’Donnell. I like Anderson, actually, ’cause he’s covered me well for many years. Then he went bad as soon as I went for politics… But he’s got a little different persuasion from me, in many ways actually.” He then said that former CNN host Don Lemon had “the lowest ratings and the lowest I.Q. on television.” Watch the full clip above via Fox News.The post ‘Who the Hell Wrote That Line?!’ Trump Seethes After His Fat Joke About Chris Christie Bombs first appeared on Mediaite.

- ‘She Never Smiles’: Trump Attacks CNN’s Kaitlan Collins at WHCD — Compar...President Donald Trump attacked CNN’s Kaitlan Collins at Friday’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner — claiming she “never smiles” and comparing her to trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney. Roughly 10 minutes into a wild, rambling address, the president mockingly saluted Collins — who was presented an award from the White House Correspondents’ Association. “I want to personally congratulate CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on receiving her award,” Trump said. “It was all about me. It was a fake, she shouldn’t get the award, it was a fake. But I didn’t mind. I said, ‘Kaitlan, congratulations.’ But it was fake, there’s no question about it. But she’s a young, attractive woman. She never smiles. I said, ‘Kaitlan do you ever smile? Smile!’ You have a nice position, you’re at CNN fake news. You should be a happy person. So smile, Kaitlan! Just smile.” The president went on to compare Collins to Mulvaney — who gained national attention for being featured in a promotion by Bud Light. “I thought Kaitlan had really made it big with a major new sponsorship,” Trump said. “But then I informed her that it wasn’t her on the Bud Light can, it was Dylan Mulvaney.” The president went on to attack Mulvaney as well. “Dylan Mulvaney cost Bud Light $35 billion in market cap,” Trump said. “That was the worst commercial ever made, by the way, for those few people that want to hear that. Most people don’t care, but I would. I wouldn’t want to hire Dylan anytime soon. Think of it. They hired Dylan Mulvaney, and their market cap has gone down by $35 billion. Who wrote that commercial?” In a statement provided to Mediaite, a CNN spokesperson said, “Kaitlan Collins is an exceptional, trusted journalist being honored tonight for her depth of knowledge and the context she provides to audiences all over the world. She reports every day from the White House and the field with real strength and tenacity and skillfully brings that reporting to the anchor chair and CNN platforms every day. We stand by her to the fullest extent.” Watch above, via CNN.The post ‘She Never Smiles’: Trump Attacks CNN’s Kaitlan Collins at WHCD — Compares Her to Trans Influencer Dylan Mulvaney first appeared on Mediaite.

- Trump Roasts Journalists at Correspondents’ Dinner: ‘This Has Not Been an Ea...President Donald Trump took the stage at the make-up White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Friday, joking, “This has not been an easy evening,” after the organization honored journalists for reporting on a series of stories unfavorable to the president, including his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. The original dinner, on April 25, was cut short after Cole Tomas Allen allegedly opened fire outside the ballroom at the Washington Hilton Hotel, killing no one but injuring a Secret Service agent who was shot atop a bulletproof vest. Allen has since pleaded not guilty. Among the awards Trump was referring to on Friday, The Wall Street Journal received the Katharine Graham Award for Courage and Accountability for its reporting on a lewd birthday card and drawing that Trump allegedly sent to Epstein. “This has not been an easy evening,” Trump quipped. “All these awards. Do I have a say? Those awards, oh those awards.” He continued: But, it’s great to be back at a place that I know very well because I built it. And I’m very proud of it because I built it for $2.9 billion less than the Federal Reserve building, which is a lot smaller, by the way. Figure that one out! But, I am delighted to be here at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Amazing people. A lot of people that I like, some I don’t like at all. But I respect most of ’em. I must say that you do a great job, an amazing job, and it’s an honor. The president then acknowledged that “a lot was learned” from the previous WHCD dinner “about security.” “Just like my presidency, the second time is always better,” he added. “And the third time will be better yet. I’m only kidding.” Trump went on to call Allen’s attack “an assault on our democracy itself,” shouting out Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, and Border Czar Tom Homan for their “extreme bravery,” but noting, “Most of you were under the tables, okay?” Watch the full clip above via Fox News.The post Trump Roasts Journalists at Correspondents’ Dinner: ‘This Has Not Been an Easy Evening’ first appeared on Mediaite.
