Donald Trump has been insulting female journalists again, this time CNN White House correspondent Kaitlan Collins, who had the audacity to do her job and ask the president about the Epstein files at a recent press conference — leading Trump to respond, "I don't think I've seen you smile."

"Damn, that is messed up," says Daily Show host Michael Kosta in the clip above. "Can I talk to the president alone, for just a second? Hey, uh, DJ, few thought. I don't know if there's ever a time to tell a reporter to smile, but I'm almost positive it's not when she's asking you about sex trafficking victims."

Kosta goes on to play a clip of Trump saying he thinks "it's really time for the country to get on to something else."

"Yeah, of course you want to move on to something else," says Kosta. "I would too if I was in the Epstein files thousands of times. I feel the same way when the IRS tries to audit me. Hey guys, I appreciate your interest, but me and my business jacuzzi are ready to move on."
