Jimmy Kimmel thinks Trump gave the worst possible response to CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins when she asked him about the survivors of the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case. <\/p>\n
Kimmel showed viewers a clip<\/a> from Tuesday evening in which Trump insisted it was time for the country to move on from the Epstein scandal. Collins then asked Trump, \u201cWhat would you say to the survivors who feel they haven\u2019t gotten justice?\u201d<\/p>\n Trump snapped at her, saying, \u201cYou are the worst reporter. CNN has no ratings because of people like you.\u201c<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Trump continued, \u201cI don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever seen you smile. I\u2019ve known you for ten years. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever seen a smile on your face… You know why you\u2019re not smiling? Because you know you\u2019re not telling the truth. And you\u2019re a very dishonest organization, and they should be ashamed of you.\u201d<\/p>\n Kimmel said in response to the clip, \u201cWe are now at the \u2018women should smile more\u2019 stage of his presidency.\u201d<\/p>\n The late-night host then called out the president, explaining why Trump\u2019s arguments did not sit well.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m trying to think of a worse time to tell a woman to smile more than when that person is a reporter asking about the Epstein victims. I can\u2019t,\u201d Kimmel said. <\/p>\n Trump\u2019s insults against Collins were nothing new for the president. In December 2025, he called Collins<\/a> \u201cstupid and nasty\u201d on Truth Social for asking him about the costs of his controversial White House ballroom project. <\/p>\n Trump has been widely criticized for his repeated insults towards female reporters. His most famous outburst was when he told<\/a> Bloomberg reporter Catherine Lucey, \u201cQuiet, piggy,\u201d a line Kimmel has repeatedly thrown back<\/a> at the president in the months since. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
