Donald Trump's ongoing hostility towards CNN's Kaitlan Collins is reportedly fueled by his belief that she owes her career success to him, according to Rick Wilson, a former Republican strategist. Wilson disclosed that Trump resents Collins for not acknowledging this perceived debt, stemming from a past interview that he believes significantly boosted her career. Trump's derogatory comments about Collins, including calling her 'stupid and nasty,' reflect a broader trend of his aggressive behavior towards female reporters. Wilson noted that Trump has a history of targeting women in the press, and his remarks about Collins are particularly personal. Following her promotion to chief White House correspondent after a tense CNN Town Hall with Trump in May 2023, he has intensified his attacks, suggesting that Collins should show gratitude for her success. The article also mentions a recent incident where Trump abruptly ended an interview with NBC's Kristen Welker, further illustrating his contentious relationships with female journalists. Despite the challenges, Wilson emphasized that many women in the press continue to question Trump, driven by their commitment to journalism.
