Donald Trump has renewed his criticism of CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins, escalating an earlier remark in which he compared her appearance to that of a trans influencer. The comments mark a continuation of Trump's long-running antagonism towards CNN and its journalists, adding a personal, appearance-based jibe to what has typically been criticism of the network's coverage of him.

The article text supplied does not contain further specific details, quotes or context beyond the headline describing Trump "doubling down" on the attack; it consists mainly of unrelated Daily Mail homepage links. As such, the precise wording of Trump's latest remarks, when they were made, and CNN's or Collins's response cannot be confirmed from the available content.
