You can tell when the line of questioning exceeds Trump’s comfort zone because he then turns and attacks the messanger. It’s got to be very difficult to be a member of the White House Press Corps these days, no matter how well paid a gig that may be.

The “smiling” crack is sexist. Collins is a female, ergo her main purpose is to smile and be charming and if she’s not doing that, then she’s a failure as a woman. At least Trump didn’t attack her looks, that’s a step up for him.
Very simply, Trump can’t answer a simple question about his pedophile buddy, Epstein, and so the answer becomes that the reporter asking the question is a disgrace to her employer. Right. Trump logic in a nutshell.
He should be ashamed of himself, but that’s not going to happen.
She made him look like a spoiled four-year old, which is what he is. I think Kaitlan learned something here: that if you press the right buttons you can make him dance a jig and play the fool.
Keep pushing those buttons, Kaitlan. If the press pool joins in, he could go full ape and blow a gasket.
