President Donald Trump flirted with Fox News host Dana Perino live on air Thursday while answering a question about Iran.
During his appearance on “The Five,” Trump reminded Perino of the time they had lunch at Trump Tower several years earlier, telling the Fox host she may be even more attractive now than then. He also joked that complimenting a woman’s looks can end 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. 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 said.

Right before the flirtatious moment, Perino asked Trump whether the Iranian people have access to drinking water and other basic necessities during the war. She also pointed out that it’s frustrating that the American people have not been able to hear from civilian Iranian citizens at all.
Trump said the Iranian people are “petrified” by their own regime but avoid protesting to protect their lives.
The president has snapped at legacy media reporters who have pressed him on the Iran war, the Jeffrey Epstein files, and other frequent media topics. He recently called a reporter “obnoxious” on Air Force One when she asked about the implications of sending thousands of American troops to Iran.
