Donald Trump blasted NCS’s Kaitlan Collins as soon as once more at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
On Friday, July 24, the 2026 White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) Dinner was held at the Waldorf Astoria Washington DC. The occasion had been rescheduled after an assassination try on the unique April date.
“I want to personally congratulate NCS’s Kaitlan Collins on receiving her award,” Trump, 80, told attendees. Collins gained the WHCA’s Award for Excellence in Presidential News Coverage Under Deadline Pressure within the broadcast class.
The POTUS continued, “It was all about me. It’s 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.”
That’s when Trump pivoted to criticizing Collins for not smiling — an insult he publicly hurled at her in February, after calling her “stupid and nasty” in December.
“But she’s a young, attractive woman. She never smiles,” the president claimed. “I said, ‘Kaitlan, you ever smile?’ Smile. You have a nice position. You’re at NCS fake news. You should be a happy person. So smile, Kaitlan. Just smile.”

Additionally, Trump in contrast Collins to transgender actress and social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney, a transgender girl.
“I thought Kaitlan had really made it big with a major new sponsorship, but… it wasn’t her on the Bud Light can, it was Dylan Mulvaney,” he stated. “And Dylan Mulvaney cost Bud Light $35 billion in market cap. That was the worst commercial ever made, by the way.”
Later, Trump took purpose at Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
“I hope that everyone finally got to enjoy their entire very delicious beef tenderloin. Very special beef,” the POTUS stated. “And I want you all to know that Bobby Kennedy is right here. Personally ran over the cow in his car, and he cut it up, and he brought it here for you to eat tonight.”
Trump continued, “So it’s very fresh. And Bobby also suggested an appetizer featuring his favorite cut of male raccoon roadkill. But we drew the line at that, Cheryl [Hines], we said, no, we’re not going to do that. We’re not doing that.”
Later, Trump referred to as Don Lemon the “dumbest man on television.” The POTUS additionally claimed that though he used to love NCS’s Anderson Cooper, “he went bad as soon as I went for politics.”
