Fox’s Doocy Confronts Trump With Belly Button Drone Strike Threat In WTF Moment
Fox News Senior White House correspondent Peter Doocy asked President Donald Trump about a threatened drone strike on his belly button in a surreal exchange at the White House.
Trump has spent weeks continually attacking CNN and over coverage of his Iran airstrikes and the leaks casting doubt on his assertion that the strikes “completely obliterated” their nuclear program. But the fallout from the strikes has also included an oddly specific threat from a member of the Iranian regime.
“Trump can no longer sunbathe in Mar-a-Lago, because while he’s lying down, a micro-drone might target and strike him right in the navel,” senior adviser Mohammad-Javad Larijani said on Iranian TV Wednesday.
Doocy was in the press pool at a White House photo op with the leaders of several African nations, during which the president took questions from reporters.
Among several of Doocy’s questions were a pair related to the threat, which Doocy wondered if Trump was taking seriously, and about which he also asked “when is the last time you went sunbathing anyway?”:
PETER DOOCY: And now, a few weeks after the strikes that you ordered on the nuclear facilities in Iran, there is an Iranian official who says you, President Trump, have done something that “he can no longer sunbathe in Mar-a-Lago. As you lie there with your stomach to the sun a small drone might hit you in the navel. It’s very simple.”.
Do you think that’s a real threat? And when is the last time you went sunbathing anyway?
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: I’ve been a long time, it’s been a long time. I don’t know, maybe I was around seven or so. I’m not too big into it.
Yeah, I guess it’s a threat. I’m not sure it’s a threat actually, but perhaps it is.
If they ever make a fourth Austin Powers movie, they know who to call.
