CNN’s Kaitlan Collins pressed President Donald Trump about the war in Iran when he decided to suddenly end a White House press conference on Monday.
Trump was speaking at the Oval Officeto a group of reporters when he cut the questions short and lashed out against the network. The president had told reporters that the United States had plans to ramp up attacks on Iran, as Trump had ordered a new blockade against Iran in the Strait of Hormuz.
“The US is bombing Iran again. You’ve been bombing Iran for months now. Is this just the new normal for the American people?” Collins asked.
Trump started to complain about CNN and its coverage of the Iran war.
“All they have is fake news because the fake news would rather see us lose the war,” Trump said.
Collins responded to Trump.
“You argued Iran couldn’t have ballistic missiles,” Collins said.
But Trump kept talking about CNN and “fake news.”
“Which is really treasonous in a certain way. So we’re doing another very major attack tonight,” Trump said.
Trump abruptly ended the press conference after his rant to Collins, and aides hurriedly shuffled reporters out of the room.
