“I want to personally congratulate NCS’s Kaitlan Collins on receiving her award. It was all about me. It’s a fake — she shouldn’t get the award, it was a fake,” the politician rambled in his hour-long tackle. “But I don’t mind, I said, ‘Kaitlan, congratulations.’ But it was fake, there’s no question about it.”
“[Collins is] a young, attractive woman. She never smiles,” Trump fumed. “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.”

Trump then in contrast Collins to trans activist Dylan Mulvaney, whose 2023 marketing campaign with beer model Bud Light was criticized by right-wing politicians.
“I thought Kaitlan had really made it big with a major new sponsorship, but then I informed her that it wasn’t her on the Bud Light can, it was Dylan Mulvaney,” he said. “Dylan Mulvaney cost Bud Light $35 billion in market cap. 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?” he droned on.
