The Buzz: 'Smile, Darn Ya, Smile' when addressing the president [View all]

By Jon Bauer / Herald Opinion Editor

President Trump on Tuesday brusquely criticized CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins, who had been asking questions related to the latest release of the Epstein files, calling her “the worst reporter” and adding “CNN has no ratings because of people like you.”

“I’ve known you for 10 years. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a smile on your face,” he continued with a sarcastic tone. “You know why you’re not smiling? Because you know you’re not telling the truth.”

As Trump continued his harangue, White House staffers hurriedly escorted reporters out of the Oval Office. “She never smiles,” Trump said as reporters left.

The staffers — with wide smiles on their faces and with cheery voices — then turned off the lights, drew the curtains and encouraged the president to lay his head down on his desk for a few minutes.
