Summary

On July 26, 2026, President Donald Trump posted an altered image on his Truth Social page depicting CNN journalist Kaitlan Collins as transgender actress Dylan Mulvaney. The image overlaid Collins’ face onto Mulvaney’s body, using AI to manipulate the visual content. Trump made this comparison without a caption, following his previous attacks on Collins during the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. CNN defended Collins as an exceptional journalist, while Collins herself referenced the incident in an Instagram post.
