The CNN anchor, 33, responded to the president, 79, with a simple yet curt statement on December 6.
Trump Slammed Collins on Truth Social
Donald Trump misspelled Kaitlan Collins' name in his post.
“Caitlin Collin's of Fake News CNN, always Stupid and Nasty, asked me why the new Ballroom was costing more money than originally thought one year ago,” Trump penned on Truth Social Saturday.
“I said because it is going to be double the size, and the quality of finishes and interiors has been brought to the highest level. Also, the column SPAN has been substantially increased for purposes of viewing," he ranted.
He added that the White House ballroom renovations are actually "under budget and ahead of schedule, as my jobs always are."
The CNN anchor responded to Trump's tweet with a single sentence.
“It is being fully paid for by private donations. FAKE NEWS CNN, and the guy who runs the whole corrupt operation that owns it, is one of the worst in the business. Their ratings are so low that they're not even counted or relevant anymore. MAGA!!!" Trump bellowed online.

Collins Asked Trump About the White House Renovations
On December 5, the star implored Donald Trump about his warnings against Venezuela.
Collins then took to her Instagram Stories on Saturday by reposting Trump’s tweet and her smart response.
“Technically, my question was about Venezuela,” she wrote, referring to the apparent ongoing contention with both the South American country and the USA.
On December 5, Collins implored Trump to heed his warnings about Venezuela during the launch of the 2026 FIFA World Cup draw in Washington, D.C.
Donald Trump was honored with a peace prize at 2026 FIFA World Cup draw.
Trump was honored with a special peace prize at the kick-off event where he appeared with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on Friday.
Before he received the medal, Collins asked him: “Mr. President, what would you say to people who say that prize might conflict with your pledge to strike Venezuela?”
He responded by saying that he ended “eight wars and we have a ninth coming … which nobody's ever done before.”
“But I want to really save lives. I don't need prizes. I need to save lives. And we're saving a lot of lives. I've saved millions and millions of lives. And that's really what I want to do,” he added. “And I also want to run a great country. And the United States right now is the hottest country anywhere in the world. And one year ago, it was dead. We had a dead country. And now we have the hottest country anywhere in the world," he said.
