Donald J. Trump apparently wasn't prepared for CNN to keep doing its job—even outside the White House—so, of course, he threw a fit on Truth Social near midnight.

After Trump banned CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House last week, CNN's Kaitlan Collins showed up at the United Nations on Tuesday to cover the president's appearance before the General Assembly. When Collins attempted to ask Trump about the war in Iran, he appeared surprised to see her and questioned why CNN was there.

Collins pointed out the obvious: the United Nations had allowed CNN into the press area. Trump nevertheless insisted she shouldn't be covering him, arguing that CNN had supposedly said it wouldn't.

Trump returned to the subject later Tuesday night on Truth Social, attacking Collins personally and accusing CNN and MS NOW of being obsessed with him. He also celebrated the fact that the administration is defending the media ban in court.

"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," Trump wrote. "Then why were they ranting and raving like Lunatics, in the Press Area, at the United Nations? Why was she there? She’s got a “TRUMP” addiction, and so does CNN and MSDNC."

"They’re all sick, treasonous, and demented!" he added. "The “good news” is that they have a great, for them, and totally disloyal Judge. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

The timing is particularly notable because CNN, MS NOW and Politico are due in federal court Wednesday seeking to have their White House access restored. The outlets argue that Trump's ban violates their First Amendment rights, while the administration maintains that White House access is a privilege, not a right.

So, in the span of a few days, Trump has managed to ban CNN from the White House, encounter CNN at the U.N., complain that CNN was at the U.N., and then have CNN head to court over the ban.

Apparently, banning a news organization from one building doesn't stop it from finding the president somewhere else.

And he added this video after midnight. Very presidential, sir!
