Trump Tears CNN’s Kaitlan Collins a New One Over Deportation of El Salvadoran Gangbanger: ‘Why Can’t You Just Say That?’

Who still watches CNN? Seriously, They lied, cheated, deliberately misled and harmed the American people. Repeatedly. They are not a news org. They are the propaganda arm of America’s worst enemies.

President Donald Trump and El Salvador President Nayib Bukele issued strong responses Monday during a joint press conference at the White House when questioned repeatedly by CNN’s Kaitlan Collins about the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a wifebeating MS-13 gangbanger.

President Trump criticized Collins for asking the same question multiple times.

“How long do we have to answer this question from you? Why don’t you just say ‘Isn’t it wonderful that we’re keeping criminals out of our country?’ Why can’t you say that?” Trump asked.

Fantastic clip!

Trump repeatedly insults CNN’s Kaitlan Collins in Oval Office over deportation of El Salvadoran national: ‘Why can’t you just say that?’

By David Propper, NY Post, April 14, 2025:

President Trump took several shots at CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins as she peppered him with questions in the Oval Office Monday over the wrongful deportation of an El Salvadoran national who the US Supreme Court ruled should be returned to the United States for now.

Trump repeatedly needled Collins, who is also the network’s White House correspondent, including calling her a “low-rated anchor” and slamming CNN’s credibility as he took questions alongside El Salvador President Nayib Bukele.

Collins wanted answers about the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man who was removed to the Center for Terrorism Confinement (CECOT), the Central American country’s hellhole mega-prison, last month under the 18th-century Alien Enemies Act.

The Trump administration has claimed Abrego Garcia was a member of the violent MS-13 gang, but the US Supreme Court directed the White House to “facilitate” his release from the prison on April 10.

When Collins first prodded Trump about the issue, he pointed to CNN’s less-than-stellar ratings before passing the baton to Attorney General Pam Bondi to defend the deportation and subsequent actions.

Then Trump tapped homeland security adviser Stephen Miller to speak up while taking another shot at Collins’ employer.

“Can you just also respond to that question because you know it’s asked by CNN and they always ask it with a slant because they’re totally slanted because they don’t know what’s happening,” Trump told Miller.

“That’s why nobody’s watching them.”

Miller, also deputy chief of staff for policy, argued that Abrego Garcia is an El Salvador native, a suspected member of the notorious gang — which his family has denied — and was in the US illegally.

He called it “arrogant” for media members to expect the US would tell El Salvador how to handle its own citizens.

An undeterred Collins continued to query Trump about Abrego Garcia, including referencing that Trump said a day earlier he would abide by the Supreme Court’s decision.
