LEGEND: Trump Arrives at United Nations and Clowns on CNN's Kaitlan Collins for Covering Him (WATCH)

President Trump touched down at the United Nations and immediately treated CNN like the uninvited and ugly plus-one at a wedding.

With Kaitlan Collins in the mix, he started needling the network for showing up to cover him after the whole “we’re being banned / we won’t cover him” meltdown of the past few days. The White House credentials fight is still raging, the lawsuits are flying, and Trump is doing what he always does when the press is at its most self-important: turning their grievance into the joke.

CNN wanted the moral high ground. They got a roast instead.

🔥 LMAO! President Trump arrived at the United Nations and IMMEDIATELY started clowning on CNN and Kaitlan Collins

... here. You should not be here covering me! You said you weren't going to cover me! You shouldn't be covering me!" 🤣

They just can't quit Trump.

And yes, before you ask, this is what we voted for.

I love the GOAT!! The man is so good at this!

CNN can’t even boycott correctly. 🤣

Some snarky reporter yells as Trump approaches the escalator: “Be careful with the stairs” and starts laughing.

Gee, I wonder why Americans have such disdain for the press?
