CNN Cuts Trump Oval Office Remarks After Network Called Out for Anti-American Bias
President slams CNN during border discussion with El Salvador’s president, prompting immediate on-air protest.

CNN got called out and couldn’t handle the heat.
During a meeting in the Oval Office on Monday with El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele, President Donald Trump praised new progress at the southern border and took aim at the media for ignoring it. Specifically, he called out CNN, accusing the network of refusing to report success under his administration because, as Trump bluntly put it, “they hate our country.”
And within seconds, CNN anchor Dana Bash cut the broadcast and inserted herself into the story to “correct the record.”
“I just want to say, for the record. CNN does not hate our country,” Bash insisted, interrupting the feed. “That should go without saying.”
Here’s what led to the clash:
Trump celebrated a 99.1% drop in illegal border crossings, citing new cooperation with El Salvador under President Bukele.
“It’s a sin what they did at the border,” Trump said, referencing the Biden administration’s open-border disaster.
Bukele echoed the praise, calling the drop in illegal migration “remarkable.”
Trump then asked why those statistics are nowhere in the mainstream media, answering: “Because they don’t like putting out good numbers. I think they hate our country, actually.”
The moment was classic Trump: direct, unfiltered, and rooted in a deep frustration shared by millions of Americans a frustration with corporate media that spins, omits, and actively buries real news when it benefits conservatives.
CNN’s response wasn’t to dispute the border numbers or offer context. Instead, Bash interrupted a presidential address to say, in essence, “Hey! We don’t hate America!” a defensive move that said more than she intended.
Let’s not forget:
CNN spent years pushing debunked Russian collusion narratives.
The network routinely downplayed the border crisis during the Biden years.
It gave glowing coverage to violent BLM riots while calling concerned parents “extremists.”
And yet now they’re offended because Trump pointed out what most of the country already believes that they’re more interested in attacking him than reporting the truth.
The real story wasn’t Dana Bash’s bruised ego. It was that Trump, working with Bukele, has nearly eliminated illegal border crossings from El Salvador a major victory in restoring law and order.
And that, apparently, was just too much good news for CNN to let air uninterrupted.
