CNN Mug Controversy

CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins features a Nasty Women mug following recent Trump insults.

CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins made a subtle dig at President Donald Trump on a live TV show, The Source, in response to his repeated insults. Collins had a mug with the message "America Needs Nasty Women" on her desk during a talk with Alex Gibney, the director of the upcoming Elon Musk documentary, on X. Neither Collins nor Trump have commented on the mug. In an interview with CNN, Trump described Collins as a "very average" person and "the most unhappy young person I've ever seen." He also commented on a recent move to bar journalists from CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House amid a legal battle between the two outlets.
