Gavin Newsom, Jim Acosta and other prominent figures criticized Donald Trump on Monday after he allegedly dared Iran to attack Los Angeles or San Diego during a rally speech in Grand Island, Nebraska. Trump reportedly said that the U.S. would be willing to "lose" a city in exchange for keeping the world safe, adding that Iran should "take out" Los Angeles or San Diego.
The comment quickly circulated on X (formerly Twitter), drawing backlash from Newsom, who tweeted that Trump's remarks demonstrated the president's "deranged and dangerous" state of mind. Acosta also expressed his disapproval on X, calling Trump's fantasy about nuclear attacks on U.S. cities "not normal." Other reactions included comparisons to a senility, calls for the president to be removed from office, and a suggestion that California should secede from the U.S.
