I dare you not to laugh at this one.
Donald Trump met with El Salvador’s president, Nayib Bukele, in the Oval Office on Monday, and during their meeting, they took some questions from members of the press who were in attendance. The meeting was a huge win for El Salvador and the United States, but CNN didn’t fare so well.
The network’s Kaitlan Collins — whom Trump called “very low-rated anchor” — seemed determined to focus her line of questioning on the “Maryland dad,” who was “mistakenly deported” to El Salvador… but who is really a Salvadoran MS-13 member who is in the United States illegally. Collins wanted to know if Trump and/or Bukele planned to return the man to the United States. It took Trump, Bukele, Attorney General Pam Bondi, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Homeland Security advisor Stephen Miller to explain to Collins that this was a dumb question on which to waste her time.
At some point during the meeting, Bukele praised Trump for lowering border crossing rates to 95% in just a few months, but Trump corrected him and said that as of Monday, the number is actually 99.1%. “Why doesn’t your media report this?” asked Bukele.
Trump responded:
Well they get out, but the fake news, you know, like CNN — CNN over here doesn’t want to put them out because they don’t like, they don’t like putting out good numbers… Because I think they hate our country, actually. But it’s a shame. You’re right. Isn’t that a great question? Why doesn’t the media, why don’t they put out numbers?
The president finally lost his patience and said to Collins, “Why can’t you just say it’s wonderful that you’re keeping criminals out of our country? That’s why no one watches you anymore.”
He obviously hurt CNN’s feelings. After the meeting, anchor Dana Bash looked like someone shut down her favorite Planned Parenthood office. She also issued a statement confirming that CNN does not, in fact, hate the country. Honestly, just watching it made me feel like I was on an episode of “South Park.” Before going to her panel to discuss the meeting with Bukele, she said:
Before I get to you, I just wanna say, for the record, since we’ve heard President Trump say in the Oval Office that CNN hates our country — CNN does not hate our country. That should go without saying. I’ve been here for 32 years…
