Donald Trump Uses Bizzare 1-Word Insult for Kaitlan Collins' Pete Hegseth Question

Donald Trump turned a question about Pete Hegseth’s future into a personal attack on CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins, mocking the network’s ratings in the process. The exchange unfolded as Hegseth faced calls for impeachment and growing uncertainty about his role at the Pentagon. During an interaction in the White House, Collins asked whether Trump would continue supporting Hegseth if Congress moved to impeach him. Trump replied “yeah,” saying Hegseth had “won two wars,” referring to strikes on Venezuela and the conflict involving Iran. Collins also raised Rep. Thomas Massie’s impeachment effort. Trump dismissed Massie’s criticism, then called Massie a “loser” and used the same insult against Collins. The impeachment articles cite alleged violations of the War Powers Resolution, failures to protect civilians, and other serious accusations.
