Collins questioned Trump about the U.S. war with Iran, prompting Trump to make dismissive remarks about the media\u2019s coverage. The confrontation occurred amid a broader context where several media outlets, including CNN, Politico, and MS Now, faced a White House ban following a lawsuit demanding reinstatement of their press credentials. In support of these outlets,major networks suspended their White House pool coverage. Trump announced the media ban publicly, accusing these organizations of spreading false details and hinting at potential bans on additional outlets like the New York Times and Washington Post. Historically, Trump has restricted White House access for certain media, citing perceived bias and fake news. The legal situation remains unresolved, with <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >judicial rulings influencing future access rights<\/a> for journalists.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump got into a verbal exchange with CNN\u2019s Kaitlan Collins at the United Nations General Assembly meeting Tuesday, just days after her network and two others were banned from the White House.<\/p>\n<p>As Trump walked out to greet reporters, Collins began yelling, \u201cTwo-thirds of Americans don\u2019t think the U.S. is winning the war with Iran.
