In a spontaneous press briefing at the White House, President Trump fielded various questions from journalists. One inquiry came from Peter Doocy, the Senior White House Correspondent for Fox News. He asked the President about a threat from the Islamic State that followed the successful airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites.

There seems to be a miscommunication, but this is what Doocy mentioned when he cited an Iranian official’s remarks. According to Doocy, the official said, “You, President Trump, have acted in such a way that you can no longer sunbathe in Mar-a-Lago. As you relax with your stomach facing the sun, a tiny drone could strike you in the navel. It’s quite straightforward.”
He then pressed Trump if he thought it was a real threat, and also when the last time the president had sunbathed. Trump just smiled and then responded.
“It’s been a long time. It’s been a long time,” the president admitted, as he sat there with what appeared to be a sun-kissed glow. “I don’t know, maybe I was around seven or so. I’m not too big into it.”
“I guess it’s a threat,” he added. “I’m not sure it’s a threat, actually, but perhaps it is.”

There’s been a bit of back and forth lately between Trump and Iranian leaders. Following Operation Midnight Hammer and Trump’s announcement that Iran’s nuclear capabilities had been obliterated, the “Islamist nation’s “Supreme Leader, Ali Hosseini Khamenei, released a delusional video message claiming “total victory,” RedState reported.
Then, during a recent White House event, Trump responded to Khamenei’s claim of victory and said, “You got beat to hell.”
The president was asked about the successful airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities and Khamenei’s message after the bombing.

“I am putting out a little statement, I am going to respond to the Ayatollah’s statement yesterday that we won the war,” Trump told members of the press. “I said, ‘Look, you’re a man of great faith, a man who is highly respected in his Country, you have to tell the truth. You got beat to hell.”
“And Israel is beat up, too. They were both beat up,” he added. “It was a great time to end it.”
The president’s glowing look has been a point of discussion, in some circles, for at least a decade, with many speculating as to how he accomplishes it, suggesting he uses spray tans and tanning beds to get his special color, as the Mirror reported.

Others have rightly pointed out that the president is an avid golfer and, most likely, gets some pretty good rays of sunshine while playing on the course.
