Trump lashes out at Fox News reporter for asking 'stupid question' about claims Russia is helping Iran target US troops

Russia has helped Iran locate U.S. ships and aircraft, according to a recent report

When correspondent Peter Doocy asked the president about the report during an unrelated White House event, Trump grew visibly annoyed.

“That’s an easy problem compared to what we’re doing here,” the president said. “Can I be honest. It’s just — I have a lot of respect for you, you’ve always been very nice to me — what a stupid question that is to be asking at this time. We’re talking about something else.”

Later Friday, MS NOW anchor Chris Hayes defended Doocy’s question, using a mocking tone to highlight Trump’s apparent irritation about being asked about the war during a White House event on college sports.

“You’re asking me about war?” Hayes said. “About our American service members being targeted by an adversary at a time like this when I am trying to solve the transfer portal?”
