Trump compliments female journalist’s appearance when asked if Iranians have drinking water

Donald Trump complimented a female journalist’s appearance when asked whether people in Iran facing attacks from the US have enough food and water.

The US president spoke to Fox News host Dana Perino, who had asked him about the “alarming” silence from the Iranian people due to internet blackouts, and whether they had enough drinking water or food.

Trump then spoke about Perino’s looks.

“First, do you remember when we had lunch years ago in the base of Trump Tower?” the president asked.

“You have not changed. Now I'm not allowed to say this, it's the end of my political career, but you may be even better looking, OK?”
