Trump Compares Journalist to Trans Actress | Entertainment and Celebrity News

At the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, President Trump sparked controversy by comparing CNN’s Kaitlan Collins to trans actress Dylan Mulvaney, joking he mistook her for Mulvaney and mocking her for not smiling. After Collins won an award, Mulvaney responded with solidarity, reposting Collins’ empowering quote about not letting others make you feel inferior — complete with heart emojis. CNN swiftly defended Collins, praising her as a tenacious and trusted journalist. The incident underscores the simmering tensions around public figures, especially women in media and those navigating identity in the spotlight.
