Californians blast Trump remark that Iran could 'take out' Los Angeles, San Diego

President Donald Trump made a controversial remark suggesting that Iran could potentially target major U.S. cities such as Los Angeles or San Diego during a rally in Nebraska. The statement, made on Monday, drew swift condemnation from California's Democratic leaders and some Republican counterparts. During his speech at the political event in Grand Island, Trump briefly touched upon the economic hardships faced by Americans during wartime and expressed his determination to achieve a significant victory.

He mentioned that the costs of war were "a small price to pay" for ensuring global safety and national security. Trump went as far as to quip, "They could take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego," emphasizing the seemingly insignificant nature of such an attack compared to the sacrifices made during wartime. However, the President also suggested that the conflict would soon come to an end.
