President Donald Trump hilariously shut down a reporter who asked a pointed question about a potential US strike on Iran – before mocking her right outside of the White House.

The reporter asked Trump ‘whether you are moving closer, or whether you believe the US is moving closer, to striking Iranian nuclear facilities.’

‘Well, obviously I can’t say that, right? You don’t seriously think I am going to answer that question?’ he said with a smirk.

The president proceeded to laugh it off before offering up an impression of the reporter’s question.

“‘Will you strike the Iranian nuclear component and what time, exactly, sir? Sir, would you strike it?'” Trump said.

‘”Would you please inform us so we can be there and watch?”‘ 

‘I mean, you don’t even know if I may do it. I may do it. I may not do it,’ he said of entering the conflict to side with Israel. ‘Nobody knows what I’m going to do.’
