The president continued his rhetorical attacks on the mainstream media after issuing a controversial ban on several outlets from the White House.
CNN, MS NOW, and Politico have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration to regain access, while other news outlets have boycotted the press pool as a form of protest.
'She’s got a ''TRUMP'' addiction, and so does CNN and MSDNC. They’re all sick, treasonous, and demented!'
President Donald Trump fired back in a post on the Truth Social platform.
"All of the SLEAZEBAGS, like Third Rate 'Reporter,' Kaitlan Collins, of Fake News CNN, a truly unhappy person, said they weren’t going to be covering me," he wrote.
The president was referring to an episode in which Collins asked him when the Iran war would end during his visit to the United Nations General Assembly.
"Then why were they ranting and raving like Lunatics, in the Press Area, at the United Nations?" he added. "Why was she there? She’s got a 'TRUMP' addiction, and so does CNN and MSDNC. They’re all sick, treasonous, and demented! The 'good news' is that they have a great, for them, and totally disloyal Judge."
Collins later said that she was credentialed by the United Nations and denied that CNN had said the network was never going to cover the president.
"We will continue to cover the president and his speech and as he meets with world leaders today, just not with a TV camera from one of the five major networks in the room," she said.
U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly is presiding over the case and was appointed by Trump in his first term as president.
Collins also faced restrictions from the White House in 2018. Fox News defended her at time and called on the administration to back off.
CNN host Jake Tapper defended Collins in a post Wednesday.
"Not going to dignify the president’s juvenile social media post about our brilliant @kaitlancollins except to say she and we are going to keep doing our jobs," he wrote, "which is to ask and cover the questions voters care about — like those about the war in Iran and the economy."

Gavin Newsom (D) has been openly discussing the possibility of a 2028 presidential run, but the California governor says there is one person who would take him out of the race: Kamala Harris.
During a CNN interview with Jake Tapper, the pair discussed the election while fly-fishing in Montana, and Newsom said he “wouldn’t run if [Harris] ran.”
“If she runs, you will not?” Tapper asked.
“Of course not. Why would I? I wouldn’t do that to her. I wouldn’t do that to you, I wouldn’t waste everyone’s time,” Newsom said, adding, “Who needs that?”
“What do you mean?” Tapper pressed further, confused. “That doesn’t even make sense to me.”
“I just, I wouldn’t. No, I wouldn’t. First of all, electorally, it’s a gift from God for everybody else. They'd enjoy the hell out of it. Mutual assured destruction. It services no greater good,” Newsom responded.
“I mean, you do whatever you want, I don’t care. But like, counterargument, would be, like, she had her shot. And you’ve never run, and she’s run twice,” Tapper answered.
“That would be the approach to the campaign. Certainly, that would be the case you’d make. Pretty good one actually,” Newsom added.
BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales finds the exchange “hilarious for so many different reasons.”
“They’re just out in the middle of Montana fly-fishing as those two I’m sure do all the time. I’m sure they’re very avid fly-fishers. And the fact that Jake Tapper is like, ‘Well, but what?’ And then he says, ‘I mean, I don’t care,’” Gonzales says.
“Obviously Jake Tapper doesn’t at all care about the state of the Democrat Party or the candidates that they run or have any vested interest in making sure the Democrats pick a good candidate,” she continues.
“Sure, Jake,” she adds.

Years after defending California's response to the coronavirus pandemic, Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom listed some of the mistakes made.
Newsom made the admissions in a bizarre interview with Jake Tapper of CNN where both appeared to be trying to fly-fish in a river in Montana.
'I regret that, obviously.'
Tapper asserted that there needed to be a commission to understand the pandemic and what responses worked and which did not work.
"Yeah, look, everyone's a genius in hindsight, so, you know, coulda woulda," Newsom responded.
"What would you do differently?" Tapper asked.
"I had a whole chapter just about Purell. We were running around doing price-gouging legislation against Purell, and everyone was thinking it was a Purell-based crisis," referring to his book.
"People were scrubbing their groceries," Tapper recalled.
"Yeah! I mean, [Republican Florida Gov. Ron] DeSantis was closing down his beaches before we closed ours. The idea that we closed beaches was insane. In hindsight," Newsom replied.
"Obviously the schools taking too long," he added. "A lot of districts were open, but the big ones weren't. L.A. refused. And I regret that, obviously."
Tapper noted that teachers said that reopening schools too soon would kill them. Then he pressed Newsom on the scandal when he was caught attending a dinner at a ritzy restaurant with little to no pandemic protections.
"What on earth were you thinking?" Tapper asked.
"Just a boneheaded decision, a stupid decision, I just ... dialing it in, we were exhausted, friend's birthday, it was a restaurant that was open the night before.
"And it was just against the spirit of the rules that I was promoting," he added.
"It was completely legit condemnation."
He said he had a mask when he walked in and when he walked out of the restaurant.
BlazeTV host Steve Deace lambasted the governor in comments to Blaze News.
"I don't think there's anything sincere about Gavin Newsom whatsoever except his political ambitions," said Deace. "So I suspect this is only being said as a means by which to triangulate as the Democrat nominee in 2028, when he'd likely be running against someone seen as an extension of Trump, who was president at the advent of the scamdemic."

The latest controversy over the White House removing the press credentials of CNN, MS NOW, and Politico further exposes legacy media’s delusions of their own self-importance.
It was supposedly big news that Democrat California Gov. Gavin Newsom, wearing a very unflattering top for his saggy chest, recently told CNN content creator Jake Tapper that he won’t run for president if former Vice President Kamala Harris decides to run as well. That is, in a single word, bull. Barring some personal crisis […]
CNN routinely justified major constitutional infringements and helped authoritarians in federal and state governments with narrative control on lockdowns and social distancing.
Biden may be out of office, but the so-called journalists who concealed his decline remain employed.
Fauci and Tapper built an intimate relationship.
