Donald Trump snapped at CNN’s Kaitlan Collins for covering his appearance the United Nations today.
We are credentialed by the United Nations to cover the General Assembly. https://t.co/FTwPE7ENgv

KAITLAN COLLINS: “Mr. President, two-thirds of Americans, two-thirds of Americans don’t think the U.S. is winning the war with Iran. When will it end?”
TRUMP: “I’m surprised that CNN is here covering me.
KAITLAN COLLINS: “The United Nations allowed us in, sir.”
TRUMP: “You should not be here covering me. You said you weren’t going to cover me, you shouldn’t be covering me.”
KAITLAN COLLINS: “Two-thirds of Americans don’t think that the U.S. is winning the war with Iran. When will it end?”
TRUMP: “We’re making a lot of progress. Our country is doing really, really well. Thank you very much.”
Trump’s remarks to Collins shows just how much the 80-year-old misunderstands how free press works in America.
The president saying to @kaitlancollins “you should not be here covering me” shows total ignorance about how the US news media actually operates. In a democracy, journalists will always find ways to ask questions, even if a president doesn’t like it. pic.twitter.com/5b6glh9agL
