In a stunning twist, CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins is now praising President Donald Trump — calling him one of the most accessible and media-savvy presidents in modern history.
During an appearance on Jason Tartick’s podcast, Collins couldn’t hide her admiration for Trump’s ability to command attention and communicate directly with the American people.
“Some presidents avoid the press. Trump embraced it,” she admitted. “He’s been dealing with the media for decades as a New York mogul, and he’s always understood the power of a camera and a microphone.”
Trump Turns Routine Moments Into Must-See Events
Collins revealed that even ordinary White House events became headline-making spectacles under Trump’s leadership.
“If he’s swearing in the ambassador to Greece — that wouldn’t even make news with Biden or Obama,” she said. “But with Trump, every moment can turn into a full press conference. Reporters know to show up ready.”
Collins noted that journalists now prepare as many as ten questions whenever Trump appears, because “anything he says can set the national agenda.”
Obama and Biden Fade by Comparison
The CNN host even drew a sharp contrast between Trump and his Democrat predecessors.
“President Obama almost never responded to shouted questions. It just wasn’t his thing,” Collins said.
That simple comment highlights what millions of Americans already know: Trump doesn’t hide from tough questions — he thrives on them.
Even CNN Can’t Deny It
Despite working for one of the most anti-Trump networks on television, Collins is frequently seen pressing the president in the Oval Office and challenging White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt during daily briefings.
Just this week, Collins grilled Trump about whether his recent remarks about James Comey could “help” the disgraced ex-FBI director following his indictment. Hours earlier, she had clashed with Leavitt over Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to Oregon amid rising crime.
Bottom Line: Trump Owns the Media Stage
Even his critics can’t resist his magnetism. Whether it’s CNN, MSNBC, or The New York Times — Trump dominates the conversation. He doesn’t run from the press like Biden; he commands it.
Once again, even the liberal media is being forced to admit what Trump supporters have known all along — there’s no one like Donald J. Trump.
