Summary
Sunday’s post showed an AI-generated image of CNN’s Kaitlan Collins with Dylan Mulvaney’s body, reviving a comparison Trump made at Friday’s White House Correspondents’ Association dinner.
At the dinner, Trump mocked Collins after she won a 2026 WHCA broadcast award, joked she belonged on a Bud Light can instead of Mulvaney, and repeated his demand that she “smile.”
The image reused a widely circulated 2023 Mulvaney Bud Light photo tied to the conservative backlash over the brand’s partnership with the transgender influencer; Trump claimed that episode erased $35 billion in market value.
CNN CEO Mark Thompson said Friday the network stands by its journalists and that reporting without government interference is protected by the Constitution, as Trump also targeted Jake Tapper and Wall Street Journal reporter Josh Dawsey.
