CNN’s Kaitlan Collins makes shocking admission after Trump press conference

CNN’s new White House correspondent Kaitlan Collins urged viewers to heed the extensive statements Donald Trump made during a press conference on Tuesday.

The president-elect made a series of promises and statements at the event, including plans to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America.”

He also refused to rule out the use of military force to take control of the Panama Canal and Greenland.

“It’s not something that should be treated with blunders,” Collins, 32, told her fellow panelists on CNN’s Inside Politics.

“I would take anything he said there very seriously,” she added.

“I mean, right after he said he wanted to rename the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America, Marjorie Taylor Greene says she’s going to advocate for that.”

Some of Trump’s other comments included the president claiming that members of the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah may have been among those who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.

He also laid out his vision for the world, taking aim at Canada and ripping at President Joe Biden’s climate agenda.

The president-elect made a series of promises and statements at Tuesday’s meeting, including plans to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America.”

‘[This] “It won’t be the same Washington we face in 13 days when Trump takes office,” Collins added.

“But I will say that one of the biggest things that struck me during that press conference – from the moments when Trump came out before he even started asking questions – is the level of anger,” she continued, setting the stage free for a comment from fellow panelist Dana Bash.

“He’s really excited,” the 53-year-old said, prompting suspicions from Collins.

“Well, we know why,” she explained. “He’s made it very clear… And it’s two things.

“It’s his legal issues in general, but it’s the sentencing that awaits him on Friday,” she stressed, noting that the president’s nearly concluded hush-money case will proceed as planned despite efforts by his legal team to slow down.

‘Right [Juan] Merchan has denied attempts to delay this,” Collins said, adding that Trump’s lawyers are “still working on it.”

The second thing she said was that the president-elect was outraged by DOJ Special Counsel Smith’s just-blocked report, which Trump’s lawyers successfully blocked from publication on Tuesday.

The conversation took place on Inside Politics after Trump had completed the largely improvised speech. Also at the desk were chief correspondent John King, David Chalian, the station’s Washington bureau chief, and host Dana Bash.

“It is this report from Jack Smith that we are told is imminent and will come out,” she said, shortly before it became fully clear that Judge Aileen M. Cannon, a Trump appointee, temporarily banned the DOG Smith’s account of his case. research.

Assuming the effort was still up in the air, the progressive commentator who clashed with Trump during a CNN-aired town hall this year said, “We’ll see if it’s successful.”

“But his anger about it is undeniable,” she continued, before claiming, “He hasn’t been this angry since he won the election.”

Bash then gave the floor to King, who — when asked to provide an overarching characterization of Trump’s comments — portrayed Trump as dissatisfied with the draft.

“It’s remarkable,” says the 61-year-old, who previously started the program.

“Someone who, in two weeks, will resume the presidency of the United States and who, whether you voted for him or not, whether you like him or not, has just engineered a remarkable historic political comeback, is so whiny and so full of grievances .

“That’s Donald Trump’s trademark,” he continued. “That’s been his trademark since he came down the escalator.

“He used his displeasure to keep his people together, to keep his base together and to keep his team loyal.”

King agreed with Collins that Trump seemed “angry,” prompting Chalian to argue that Trump’s comments were likely to fuel feelings that the outgoing administration was “intentionally making the transition difficult.” King sarcastically paraphrased: “They’re still out to get him.”

King then agreed with Collins that Trump seemed “angry” while conceding that “Joe Biden is using his executive powers on his way out to do things that [Trump] fundamentally disagrees’.

“Weclome for American politics,” the correspondent declared.

In response to Trump’s claim Tuesday that he is “inheriting a mess,” King claimed, “He’s inheriting the strongest economy in the world.”

“It has problems, it has potholes, it has problems, but it is the strongest economy in the world.

Panelist David Chalian, 51, also agreed, saying the president’s comments were likely to fuel feelings that the outgoing administration was “deliberately making the transition difficult.”
