President Donald Trump demolished CNN’s Kaitlan Collins more than once on Wednesday after the White House correspondent continually interrupted the commander in chief in the Oval Office.

After Collins asked a question about the end of the fund reimbursing victims of Joe Biden’s weaponization of the Justice Department, Trump said: “People like you have abused our people so badly. The fake news like CNN, like the New York Times and like others, have abused our people.”

Collins attempted to ask another question when she was instantly shot down by the president.

“Wait a minute. Be quiet,” Trump said.

“You should be ashamed of yourself. You used to be a conservative from Alabama. She used to be a conservative from Alabama. Can you believe it?”

Collins interjected: “I’m still from Alabama.”

Trump continued: “In particular CNN does such false reporting, but now they have new ownership, so maybe it’ll straighten it out. I doubt it. But it’s hard to straighten garbage out.”

At another point, Trump was discussing the massive crowd that showed up to hear him on Jan. 20, 2021, the infamous day riots broke out at the U.S. Capitol.

“I believe it’s the largest crowd I’ve ever spoken to by twice,” Trump indicated.

“There was so much love and friendship. It was the most amazing thing. People were crying.”

Collins interrupted the president again, saying: “But Republicans on the Hill were upset that …”

Trump squelched the reporter, telling Collins forcefully: “Let me finish. Let me FINISH. LET ME FINISH!”

He then continued: “And those people have been abused by you and by others and by the politicians, the Dumocrats. They’re dumb people. They want to have open borders. They want to have transgender mutilization of your children. They want to have men playing in women’s sports. They want to have high taxes.”

Trump kept the verbal onslaught coming against Collins and her network, saying: “CNN’s a very corrupt organization with a corrupt reporter standing right there. [She] never smiles. A young, beautiful woman, never smiles! I never see a smile on her face.

WATCH:

“I see her standing there with hatred in her eyes. She has hatred because we have borders, because have a strong military, because we cut our taxes, because we do things that everybody wanted. And then we win our election in a massive landslide.”

Wednesday’s comments about Collins are similar to those with which he slammed her in February, as WorldNetDaily reported.

Trump uncorked at the time on Collins as the “worst reporter” who had allegedly never smiled in Trump’s presence in the past decade.

As Collins tried to ask a question in the Oval Office about the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein, Trump told her directly: “You are so bad. You are the worst reporter. No wonder CNN has no ratings because of people like you.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen you smile. I’ve known you for 10 years. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a smile on your face.”

WATCH:

“You know why you’re not smiling?” Trump continued. “Because you know you’re not telling the truth. You’re a very dishonest organization and they should be ashamed of you.”
