if you were to take a survey of American kids right now, how many would say

‘ I want to grow up to be like Caitlin Collins‘

And

‘ I want to go up to be like Donald Trump’

Caitlin Collins is 34 years old. I know that when I grow up, I want to be like her. Physically, I already have much older than her, maturity, wise, well that’s another story.

Collins has been attacked by Trump for years now. It seems like years now, even though his second term has lasted only 18 months. Collins willask questions and Trump will demean her rather than answer the questions. He will say that she is fake news and that she should smile more. Collins in response will keep pursuing the question and the issue. She is unflappable. She says that her approach is based on her belief that the issue is not about her. It’s about the question. When Trump does not answer the question, Americans will remember the fact that he did not answer the question, that he is avoiding the issue.

At the White House correspondence did last Friday night, she received an award for her reporting of the contentious meeting between Trump and Zelenskyy last year. last year. When Trump got up to do his speech, he levied a number of insults against a number of people, including Collins. But Collins got the last laugh as she explained to Jon Stewart on his Daily Show.

“In the room, I was not surprised when he insulted me. That happens pretty regularly inside the Oval Office. This is just a bigger venue where it was happening. What was most surprising to me was — the room was filled with a lot of his staffers, his cabinet, his allies, Republicans in Congress — it was so quiet in the room during the president’s remarks.”

That’s all I have for today.
