Donald Trump bashed NCS Anchor Kaitlan Collins throughout his hour-long speech at the White House Correspondents Dinner on Friday, July 24.
Collins, 34, obtained the Excellence Under Deadline Pressure award throughout the lavish occasion and the president, 80, wasn’t too thrilled about it.
“I want to personally congratulate NCS’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 NCS fake news. You should be a happy person. So smile, Kaitlan! Just smile,” the POTUS scoffed.
Trump then awkwardly compared the journalist to trans activist Dylan Mulvaney, and the controversial Bud Light advertisement she did in 2023.

“I thought Kaitlan had really made it big with a major new sponsorship,” the businessman ranted on. “But then I informed her that it wasn’t her on the Bud Light can, it was Dylan Mulvaney.”
But Trump did not cease there and in addition went on to slam the social media influencer, 29, for the beer industrial. The controversy happened after conservative critics refused to purchase the beer model because of Mulvaney’s involvement.

“Dylan Mulvaney cost Bud Light $35 billion in market cap,” Trump mentioned. “That was the worst industrial ever made, by the way in which, for these few people who need 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?” he questioned.
Wolf Blitzer Shared His Support for Kaitlan Collins
Despite Trump not being too proud of Collins’ award at the feast, her pal and fellow NCS anchorman Wolf Blitzer shared his help for her on his social media.
Blitzer, 78, took to his X page on Saturday, July 25, to post a photo of himself posing with Collins on the purple carpet earlier than the bash started.
“I was honored to present my @News Central Site colleague @kaitlancollins with the White House Correspondents Association ‘Excellence Under Deadline Pressure’ award last night. I pointed out the judges were ‘awed’ by the ‘depth of knowledge, access and context’ that she brought to the news,” he gushed.
