Californians blast Trump remark that Iran could 'take out' Los Angeles, San Diego
Trump said the U.S. should accept the potential cost of the Iran war to keep Americans safe, prompting criticism from California Democrats and some Republicans who said no U.S. city should be considered expendable
President Donald Trump suggested during a rally in Nebraska that Iran could potentially take out major US cities like Los Angeles or San Diego, triggering outrage from California's Democratic leaders and some Republican allies. The remarks, made at a political event in Grand Island, drew swift criticism. White House spokesperson Steven Cheung dismissed the controversy, stating the media's reaction was unfounded.
California Governor Gavin Newsom called Trump "deranged and dangerous" after earlier deploying military forces to protect Los Angeles and other cities from perceived threats.
