Spare a thought – only kidding – for Donald Trump, who’s been having to deal with questions from those pesky White House correspondents again. Even worse, some of the reporters are women!

And CNN’s Kaitlan Collins is up there with the very best (worst, in Trump’s eyes, obviously) and she had a question for the president about how long the Iran war is actually going to last and whether it would last longer than the war in Ukraine (which he promised to end in 24 hours, obviously).

And Trump’s initial response was to belittle Collins – no surprise there – and we’re glad he did, in a way, because he went on to kick himself in the face and it just made him look even dumber.

KC: ‘Which war do you think ends first?’

DT: ‘That’s an interesting question. Coming from you that’s a very interesting question.’

Ooh, get you Donny! Shame he answered by confusing Iran with Ukraine. Easily done, Mr President. If you’re an idiot.

Here it is with just a little bit more context.

And these people surely said it best.
