BREAKING: Trump Jokes About Iran “Taking Out” Los Angeles and San Diego
President Donald Trump sparked backlash Monday after joking that Iran could “take out” major American cities and calling it a “very small price.”
Speaking at a campaign rally in Grand Island, Nebraska, Trump was discussing rising oil prices amid the Iran war when he said:
“Let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego.”
He repeated that it was “a very small price to pay to ensure the safety of the world and the United States.”
The reaction was swift:
· LA’s mayor called the remarks “dangerous”
· San Diego’s mayor said the city is “by no means an acceptable cost”
· California Democrats widely condemned the comments
The remarks come amid heightened US Iran tensions and growing concerns over a wider regional conflict.
What do you think ? Was this just a joke, or did he go too far?
