Trans influencer and actress Dylan mulvaney had something to say about President Donald Trump included Mulvaney in his speech at the White House Correspondentsâ Dinner when he mocked the influencer along with CNN White House correspondent Kaitlan Collins.
At Fridayâs event, Trump congratulated Collins on an award for her White House coverage.
âI want to personally congratulate CNNâs Kaitlan Collins on receiving her award,â Trump said. âIt was all about me. Itâs a fake. She shouldnât get the award. It was a fake. But I didnât mind. I said, âKaitlan, congratulations.â But it was fake, thereâs no question about it.â
The president then said Collins should âsmileâ, comparing her to Mulvaney. He claimed he confused the two during Mulvaneyâs 2023 promotional partnership with Bud Light.
âI thought Kaitlan had really made it big with a major new sponsorship, but then I informed her that it wasnât her on the Bud Light can, it was Dylan mulvaney,â Trump said. âDylan mulvaney cost Bud Light $35 billion in market cap. That was the worst commercial ever made by the way, for those few people who want to hear that. Most people donât care, but I would. I wouldnât want to hire Dylan any time soon.â
Trump continued his stance on Sunday when he posted an AI-generated image on Truth Social which showed Collinsâ face superimposed onto Mulvaneyâs body in an image from the Bud Light campaign.

Mulvaney responded with a four-minute on TikTok. Mulvaney congratulated Collins on her journalism award before setting her sights on the president.
âI would like to tell her that Iâm incredibly honored to be compared to her in any way, and I hope that she keeps doing all the great work,â Mulvaney said of Collins.
Mulvaney continued by noting Trump mentioned Mulvaney four times in Fridayâs speech even though Mulvaney has kept a low profile recent years.
âAnd yet I am still his topic of conversation all these years later,â Mulvaney said. âAnd it seems to me that I might be like the one that got away for these men. Like, I am permanently burned into their retinas. I am microchipped into their minds.
Mulvaney wouldnât âwant to be professionally supported by an administration that doesnât personally support me or so many others in this countryâ but later asked, âWhy is it so important to them that I donât find success?â Mulvaney said.

âMaybe being publicly mocked and criticized by this administration is actually like the greatest compliment of all,â Mulvaney continued. âBecause it puts me in the company of some of the most brilliant, empathetic people in our world today.â
âAnd lastly, to the president, thank you for reminding me that I am more powerful than I even knew,â Mulvaney concluded. âAnd to quote my favorite recording artist, Shea Diamond, âI am America.ââ
