Trump fires back after Iranian official's chilling Mar-a-Lago sunbathing assassination threat
President Donald Trump fired back after an Iranian official offered a chilling warning, saying the president was not safe outside at his Mar-a-Lago home and could be assassinated.
'Trump has done something that he can no longer sunbathe in Mar-a-Lago. As he lies there with his stomach to the sun, a small drone might hit him in the navel. It's very simple,' said Javad Larijani, a senior advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader, said on Iranian TV.
The threat comes just weeks after a top Iranian cleric issued a fatwa against Trump, declaring him an 'enemy of God.''
Trump doesn't usually sunbathe, but he's a regular on the outdoor patio at his Palm Beach home where he talks to the crowd and sits down for a meal.
The president shrugged off the threat when asked about it and said he hasn't sunbathed in years, since he was seven years old.
'It's been a long time. Maybe I was around seven or so,' he said when asked the last time he lay in the sun. 'I'm not too big into it.'
He added he wasn't convinced Iran was targeting him. 'Yeah, I guess it's a threat. I'm not sure it's a threat, actually, but perhaps it is,' he told reporters at the White House on Wednesday.
The area around Mar-a-Lago, which sits on the barrier island in Palm Beach, is a no-fly zone. Security is both heavy and visible. Police helicopters patrol the skies and gunboats sit on the waterway next to the club grounds.
