Dana Perino, Fox News host and former White House press secretary, asked President Donald Trump if Iranians are starving amid the war, but he responded by complimenting her looks and recalling a lunch they had together. Perino had asked Trump for "insight" into how Iranian people are doing, specifically whether they have food and drinking water. Trump initially sidestepped the inquiry to reminisce on a lunch he had with Perino years ago. He also mentioned that he may be even better looking than Perino and threatened legal action against her for her comments. This follows a series of appearance-based comments and verbal attacks against female journalists, with Trump previously previously threatening legal action on CNN's Kaitlan Collins and CBS' Cordes.
