“You’re a Loser!” – Trump Nukes CNN’s Kaitlan Collins in Response to Massie’s Hegseth Impeachment Articles, Confirms He’ll “Stand By” Hegseth (VIDEO)

President Trump speaks to reporters in the White House Press Briefing Room – November 9, 2026

President Trump blasted CNN and responded to Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY)’s new impeachment effort against War Secretary Pete Hegseth during a surprise press briefing on Monday. 

Trump held an impromptu briefing following his meeting with UFC CEO Dana White on Monday after he offered White the job of White House Press Secretary.

While White turned down the offer, which Trump previously said was a joke, Trump still spoke to reporters for roughly 30 minutes.

Just before the press briefing, Massie went on the House Floor to introduce articles of impeachment against Hegseth and held a press conference at the Capitol, the Gateway Pundit reported.

CNN correspondent Kaitlan Collins asked Trump about Massie's impeachment effort, repeatedly asking whether he would back Hegseth even if he is impeached.

"I'll stand by him," Trump told her twice. "We won two wars, he was in charge, we all won. I had great people."

"Massie says that he's carried out illegal acts," Collins replied.

Trump shot back, "Massie is a loser just like you're a loser at CNN, just like your ratings are a loser."

"Massie has a lot of hatred in his heart. I watched— I heard what Massie did. I don't want to watch. I don't want to waste my time watching him," Trump added of the impeachment attempt.

"Why haven't we gone after all these other people that ran wars that lost? What about this? What about good old Lloyd [Austin]? Why didn't we go after him? Why didn't we go after the people that disappeared? They're in charge of the military, and they disappeared from— nobody knew, had any idea that nothing happened to him? What about all these people that lost wars? You don't go after them."

Trump further pointed to the failing military recruitment numbers under Biden and the record numbers under his administration, crediting Hegseth.

"All I can say is this: We have the highest recruitment numbers of— you know, when I came in, when I was campaigning, we had the worst recruitment, people wanting to join the military, in the history of our country. We couldn't fill any of the spots; it was a disaster. Now we have the best numbers we've ever had. More people want to be in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, even the police, Space Force, firemen, anybody with a uniform," Trump told reporters.

"So, now we have the best numbers we've ever had. And I will say this: the soldiers, the actual soldiers, the great people that do the work, the great patriots, they love Pete Hegseth. So, if you go back two years ago, before I got into office two years ago, we could not recruit people, and you know that better— The army was way behind, everybody. Now, we have waiting lists of people trying to get in. He's done a very good job."
