Hello folks. Buckle up because Donald Trump Jr. wasn’t holding back during his CNN appearance with Kaitlan Collins, and honestly, who can blame him? After watching the left-wing media spend the better part of a decade dragging his father through the mud, Junior finally had enough and went after Collins on air, accusing the media of doing more than just playing political hardball—they’ve radicalized people to the point where they’re trying to kill Donald Trump. Twice.
Yup, you read that right. The 46-year-old former first son didn’t mince words, claiming the media “created so much of that environment” that’s now putting his father’s life in jeopardy. Twice in the last two months, Trump Jr. has had to have a heart-wrenching conversation with his kids about someone trying to shoot their grandfather. Talk about emotional—and horrifying.
Let’s not forget the close call in Butler, Pennsylvania, when Donald Trump Sr. narrowly avoided getting shot in the head at a rally in July. And then, again, just last month, he was targeted on his Palm Beach golf course. This isn’t some made-up drama; this is real, and Trump Jr. is right to call out the media for stoking the flames of hatred. The “fake Russia scenario” didn’t help either. That ridiculous narrative was peddled for years even after it was debunked, and, surprise, surprise, the damage was done. People were convinced.
“You know that didn’t just magically happen. That’s not him, that’s a media-created fake Russia scenario. They ran with it for years. Even when it was disproven, they still ran with it. You know, that environment wasn’t just created by Donald Trump,” his son insisted on CNN Tuesday.
But here’s where things get spicy. Kaitlan Collins, predictably, rushed to defend the media, insisting that no one in the media wants threats against Trump’s life. “Everyone wants your dad to be safe,” she said, as if that somehow erases the years of demonizing coverage. Trump Jr. wasn’t having it. He fired back, “When someone calls — and allows people to have a platform to call someone literally Hitler every day for nine years, it creates it, whether you want to believe it or not. That’s a fact.”
And he’s got a point. When you spend nearly a decade pushing the narrative that Trump is the devil incarnate, what do you think will happen? The media’s relentless vilification of Trump has created an environment where, in some people’s minds, violence is justified. You can’t paint someone as Hitler day in and day out and then act shocked when unhinged individuals take it too far.
WOAH.
Don Jr brilliantly FLIPS SCRIPT on speechless CNN reporter trying to blame Trump for political division:

Meanwhile, Collins tried to lighten the mood by noting how “civil” the vice-presidential debate between JD Vance and Tim Walz was, with the two candidates occasionally agreeing with each other. Sure, Walz might’ve appeared nervous and fumbling on stage, but the media was all too eager to paint the debate as a kumbaya moment. Vance even offered a heartfelt apology when Walz mentioned his son witnessing a shooting. Respectful debate? Maybe. But let’s not pretend this one-off civil moment erases the toxic atmosphere the media’s been fueling for years.

Trump Jr.’s message was loud and clear: The media has been complicit in creating the vitriol we see today. And while Kaitlan Collins may not want to accept that, the facts are hard to ignore. The media’s obsession with demonizing Trump didn’t just happen in a vacuum—it’s had real, dangerous consequences, and Trump Jr. is right to call them out for it.
