As cable networks anticipated the outcome of the Iowa caucuses, former President Donald Trump’s unexpectedly upbeat victory speech drew criticism from CNN anchors Abby Phillip and Kaitlan Collins. (news-us.feednews.com)
The duo, part of CNN’s Iowa Caucuses coverage, mocked Trump’s celebratory tone, pointing to his recent lack of wins and questioning the timing of his triumphant mood. Collins, noting Trump’s avoidance of Ron DeSantis’s actual name during the speech, speculated on the motivations behind his newfound optimism, linking it to recent losses, including the 2020 election and the 91 criminal counts he faces.

Phillip humorously characterized Trump’s speech as conveying a premature sense of inevitability more fitting for a candidate after Super Tuesday. The anchors highlighted the significance of the Iowa caucuses and observed a shift in Trump’s approach, contrasting his recent attacks on candidate Vivek Ramaswamy with the praise during the victory speech.
