President Donald Trump lashed out at CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on Wednesday, calling her a “dummy” and a “low-IQ person” during a tense exchange over his administration’s handling of Russia.The confrontation erupted as Trump defended his decision not to impose additional sanctions on Moscow while his administration pursues negotiations over the war in Ukraine.“We are maybe close to a deal for the first time in a long time,” Trump said. “When you’re close to a deal, and you have very delicate negotiations, you don’t put sanctions on.”But when Collins pressed him about whether he had lifted sanctions in exchange for a prisoner’s release, Trump abruptly turned hostile.“You don’t know what you’re talking about. You’re a low-IQ person. You’re a dummy, and you work for CNN,” Trump snapped.“But that’s what you said,” Collins said as she pushed back. Trump moments earlier also accused the reporter of knowing nothing and called CNN “fake news.”The president then launched into a lengthy explanation about negotiations to secure the release of an American prisoner held in Russia, arguing that imposing sanctions could derail such efforts. “The negotiation would obviously come immediately to an end,” Trump said Wednesday. “So use your head.”President Trump is directly tying waiving Russian sanctions to the release of the freed American Stephen Hubbard, despite denying he gave anything to Putin. https://t.co/TUxcvodPuF— Kaitlan Collins (@kaitlancollins) October 21, 2026

A once-friendly world leader turned the tables on President Donald Trump by blasting his latest attempts to score political points off a crisis abroad.French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday blasted what he called "unacceptable" and "stupid" comments from foreign leaders about the turmoil in his country, and when a reporter asked if he meant Trump, he replied, "Among others," the Associated Press reported.France has been rocked by rioting and looting that grew out of protests over the rising cost of living. Trump has seized on the violence to energize his supporters, claiming without evidence that Muslim migrants are to blame and urging Macron to "close your borders and take control before it is too late!"Macron said there "has been foreign manipulation of information in the aftermath" of last weekend's looting in Paris and other cities."And that has led to comments that are as unacceptable as they are stupid, from many people, including foreign leaders," he said.The French leader also pointed to "AI-generated images depicting scenes that never actually happened in France.""We've had people claiming that we were invaded by hordes of migrants and Islamists, which is completely false," he said.The two leaders were once on friendly terms, but Trump now routinely ridicules Macron in his speeches."The fact is, all the people who are speaking ill of our country right now are people who don't love our country," Macron said. "So those people really bother me."He went further, taking aim at politicians "in the middle of election campaigns, whether in the region or on the other side of the Atlantic.""They're using our country for their own political campaigns," he said. "And we don't need that."Macron made the remarks in Qatar as he wrapped up a swing through Gulf states aimed at shoring up fuel supplies amid France's energy crunch, the AP noted.
