President Donald Trump this week told a reporter that she would die if Iran targeted Air Force One and that she should consider switching professions if uncomfortable with that possibility.

“I’m number one on their list, before you... But if I go, you go. So, perhaps some of you want to change professions," he said, according to The Hill.

Trump made the remarks on the way back from Turkey, where he had attended a NATO summit in Ankara. The summit coincided with the resumption of active hostilities between the U.S. and Iran.
