President Donald Trump has found yet another way to leave leftists furious and outraged, this time for openly flirting with Fox News host Dana Perino on live television on April 2, while answering a question she asked about the war in Iran. During his appearance on the hit Fox program, “The Five,” Trump reminded Perino of when the two had lunch at Trump Tower several years earlier.
President Trump told Perino that she might be more attractive now than she was then, also wisecracking that complimenting a woman on her looks can torpedo a political career. “Remember when we had lunch years ago in the base of Trump Tower when it was a brand new building? [It was] a long time ago and you haven’t changed. You have not changed,” the president said to Perino.
“Now I’m not allowed to say this, it’ll be the end of my political career, but you may be even better looking, okay? But I will not say that because it will end my political career. You’re not allowed to say a woman is beautiful anymore,” Trump joked. Just before the flirting started, Perino asked the president whether the people of Iran have access to drinking water and other basic necessities.
“Do you, again, like Kayleigh, I would never ask you to tell us something that is classified, but do you have any insight as to how they are doing? Do they have drinking water? Do they have food?” Perino asked. “Right, I do.” Perino then pointed out the lack of news concerning the fate of the Iranian people during the conflict is having a negative impact on some, saying, “It’s upsetting.”
The FNC host then noted that it’s frustrating that the American people haven’t been able to hear directly from civilians in Iran since the attacks have intensified. Trump responded by saying Iranians are “petrified” by the regime currently in power, however, they are avoiding any form of protest out of fear for their lives. “And, uh. look… In my opinion, when you look at what’s happened, they’re petrified because the one side has guns and they have very nasty guns. They have the worst guns and machine guns,” he said.
“And what they do is they shoot you,” he said, adding, “And the people are brave, but they’re not brave when they see people going down left and right. No matter who you are, they don’t care how brave, unless you’re really sort of stupid.” President Trump also delivered a stinging criticism at legacy media reporters for pressing him on certain issues.

According to AOL, the list of topics the president is sick of being pressed on includes the Iran war, the Epstein files, and several others. When a reporter asked him aboard Air Force One about the implications of sending thousands of American troops to the Middle East, he called her “obnoxious.” As usual, people had strong opinions about the president’s comments to Pernio.
“Great to know you disturbed liberal sicko are still out there with your panties all in a twist over a almost 80 year old man giving a nice deserved compliment to an attractive of beauty, intelligence and grace lady of middle age and you find it dirty. You are sick! I bet you probably have a heart attack if a man of his age would hold a door open for a lady. No wonder liberal women can’t find the right men according to polls,” one user said in defense of the president.
