Dylan Mulvaney Claps Back In The CLASSIEST Way After Donald Trump Disses Her In Comparison To CNN’s Kaitlan Collins – MUST READ!
Dylan Mulvaney is clapping back at President Donald Trump‘s latest diss!
If you missed it, Trump caused controversy at Friday’s rescheduled White House Correspondents’ Dinner. After CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins received an award for her coverage of Trump’s Oval Office meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, POTUS joked:
“I thought Kaitlan had really made it big with a major new sponsorship, but then I was informed that it wasn’t her on the Bud Light can; it was Dylan Mulvaney.”
Ugh.

That’s a reference to the TikTok star’s former partnership with the beer company, which led to a ton of controversy from conservatives who couldn’t handle Bug Light partnering with a trans star. It was some of the most homophobic s**t we’ve seen in a long time, and Trump’s still not over it.
But Dylan isn’t letting it get her down. Taking to TikTok in response on Sunday, she first offered a comment to the journalist, saying:
“Firstly, I would like to congratulate CNN‘s Kaitlan Collins on her award, and tell her that I’m incredibly honored to be compared to her in any way and I hope that she keeps doing all the great work.”
The Broadway star then turned her attention towards The Celebrity Apprentice alum:
“The president also brought up a video I did over three years ago, and, mind you, I’ve been kind of flying under the radar, keeping up a pretty low profile, just like doing my little musicals, singing, dancing. And yet, I’m still his topic of conversation all these years later. It seems to me like I might be, like, the one that got away for these men. I am permanently burned into their retinas; I am microchipped into their minds.”
LMFAO!!!
While she was first upset that “the president put [her] on his diss track,” she ultimately had a realization:
“A few weeks ago, I would have probably been more upset about this, but luckily, I was ghosted last month by a hookup who I really liked, and what I realized was from that experience was that I shouldn’t want to be with someone who doesn’t really want to be with me. So maybe, I shouldn’t want to be professionally supported by an administration that doesn’t personally support me or so many others in this country.”
Well said!
She went a step further:
“In fact, maybe being publicly mocked and criticized by this administration is actually, like, the greatest compliment of all because it puts me in the company of some of the most brilliant, empathetic people in our world today. I do still wonder, like, why is it so important to them that I don’t find success? What is it that I have that they don’t? Oh my God, [it’s] freedom.”
Mic drop!
The Paper Doll author continued:
“I am free in a way that they will never have the privilege to experience. They want to use their power to take away my freedom, but what they don’t understand is that my freedom has like zero contingency on what they can provide for me because my freedom is fully dependent on the moment I acknowledged my real, authentic self and every day since. Sharing that with the world is just icing on the cake, but they don’t want me to be able to share that because it would mean young people realizing that if someone like me can be themselves and find success and freedom then they can find success and freedom for themselves too.”
The social media personality, known for her “365 Days of Girlhood” series, urged her followers to take action by supporting the trans community now more than ever — through votes, donations, hiring, and, above all else, through love. She also asked everyone to love any young person “seeking acceptance.” Lastly, she implored people to take any judgment for their support of the trans community as “the greatest compliment.”
She concluded the post with a poignant message just for Donny:
“Lastly, to the president, thank you for reminding me that I am more powerful than I even knew. To quote my favorite recording artist, Shea Diamond, I am America.”
Whoa. An incredible clap back! Watch the whole thing (below):

Dylan’s video comes after she showed more subtle support to Kaitlan on Saturday. She shared a quote attributed to Eleanor Roosevelt via her Instagram Story, which was the same one Kaitlan posted to her own feed. It read:
“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.”
Love to see Dylan sticking up for herself and what’s right — and not letting her bully win!
