Trump suggests Iran could ‘take out’ Los Angeles or San Diego

Gavin Newsom calls comments ‘deranged and dangerous’ after president tells Nebraska rally: ‘They can take out a city’

Leaders in California have denounced Donald Trump as “reckless” and “deranged” after the US president suggested Iran could “take out” Los Angeles and San Diego – two liberal cities in the blue state that has been a frequent target of his administration.

At a rally in ruby red Nebraska on Monday night, Trump told supporters that he hoped to see a “tremendous victory” in the fast-approaching November midterm elections. He then suggested high prices due to the war with Iran were a “small price to pay for keeping the world safe – keeping our country safe”.

“They can take out a city,” Trump said in Grand Island. “Let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego.” The crowd applauded.

“It’ll be over very soon,” Trump said of the war.

The governor and the cities’ mayors quickly condemned the comments. “After sending the National Guard and Marines to occupy California, Donald Trump is now saying our foreign enemies should ‘take out’ Los Angeles and San Diego,” the California governor, Gavin Newsom, said on X. “He is deranged and dangerous.”

Typical dumbass Trump comments

Thats a terrible statement to make for a sitting US president

Obviously he's just joking c'mon (the good ol 'i was just joking' defense smh)

They always always make excuses for this man. its amazing. Trump could literally murder their family and they'd still say he was the best ever.

thanks for the kind sentiment by the way!

When Biden said "put Trump in a bullseye" he made a big song and dance about it so whys it OK for him to give the all clear to nuke a city?

As usually his defenders will say he's only trolling or owning the libs, but we should take the word of a president seriously. If Trump says he's considering invading another country that shouldn't be seen as a joke, if he says bomb an American city that should not be seen as a joke. When people in power make threats you take those threats seriously, not as a joke.
