President Donald Trump unloaded on CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on Saturday morning over her criticism of the new White House ballroom.
Leftists have been clutching their pearls over Trump’s renovation of the White House, with the media driving the issue as though the president has destroyed some symbol of national pride that people simply can’t live without.
Kicking off the weekend, Trump took to Truth Social to light up Collins:

“Caitlin Collin’s [sic] of Fake News CNN, always Stupid and Nasty, asked me why the new Ballroom was costing more money than originally thought one year ago. I said because it is going to be double the size, and the quality of finishes and interiors has been brought to the highest level. Also, the column SPAN has been substantially increased for purposes of viewing. It is actually under budget and ahead of schedule, as my jobs always are,” he wrote. “It’s just much bigger and more beautiful than originally planned. Interestingly, and seldom reported, there are no taxpayer dollars involved. It is being fully paid for by private donations. FAKE NEWS CNN, and the guy who runs the whole corrupt operation that owns it, is one of the worst in the business. Their ratings are so low that they’re not even counted or relevant anymore. MAGA!!!”
The rant came after Collins covered the ballroom renovation in her weekly recap.
Watch:
“You see that giant crane that is over my shoulder? That’s the latest addition to the construction zone here at the White House, where President Trump’s ballroom is going to go eventually,” Collins said. “And it comes as we’re learning here at CNN that there is actually a new architect who is overseeing this project. That’s because President Trump clashed with the original architect, who’s supposed to be in charge of building his ballroom.”
“It comes as we know that the size and the cost of this ballroom have ballooned. Though they still maintain all of it is being paid for with private donations,” she added.
It’s worth noting that Collins does not appear to have “asked” Trump about the ballroom’s cost when she questioned him at the John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts on Friday for the FIFA Draw.
In a clip played on the Friday airing of her show ‘The Source,’ Collins asked Trump about the Peace Prize, Caribbean boat strikes, and the World Cup, which the United States will be jointly hosting in 2026.
