Kaitlan Collins acquired a lot deserved reward from journalist and Globe critic Don Aucoin (“In challenging times, NCS has been rising to the occasion,” TV Critics Corner, Feb. 12). Yet President Trump finds her missing and complains that she doesn’t smile sufficient.
Trump cluelessly (or deliberately) glides proper by her razor-sharp political analyses and her expertise as an interviewer. She listens carefully, whereas giving the particular person she is speaking with area and respect. She doesn’t all the time really feel the necessity to reply to those that have a distinct perspective.
She is the best and most clever correspondent that I can bear in mind from present occasions. If the president had some individuals round him along with her information, ethics, and extraordinary skills to research and interpret historical past and present occasions, he can be pressured to face the reality with consideration and focus.
All he can say is that she ought to smile extra, a remark that he would by no means make to a person.
