CNN’s Kaitlan Collins Responds After Comments Made by Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner

The 2026 White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner once again became a major topic of national conversation, not only because of the journalism awards presented during the evening but also because of remarks made by President Donald Trump during his speech.
