Donald Trump just made some of the most shocking and dangerous comments of his presidency.
The 80-year-old President of the United States spoke during a campaign rally on the Nebraska State Fairgrounds on Monday night (October 5) in Grand Island, Nebraska.
Trump attended the event to campaign for incumbent U.S. Sen. Pete Ricketts and Gov. Jim Pillen ahead of the November midterm elections. During the event, he spoke about the war in Iran and the high price of gasoline right now.
At the rally, Trump spoke about a measure to make red-dyed diesel more affordable by allowing anyone to purchase it tax-free for any reason.
He also made distressing comments, implying that he would be fine if Iran took action to strike out cities like Los Angeles or San Diego in Southern California.
“And again, remember, with the war, it’s just artificial. It’s a little bit high. It’s a small price to pay for keeping the world safe, keeping our country safe,” Trump said. “They can take out a city. Let ’em take out Los Angeles, let ’em take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay, and it’s going to be over with very soon. It’s essentially almost over with. And they might keep going a little long, you know, they always say they have a big threshold for pain. They need it. Let me tell you. They need it. But it’s going to end very soon. And it will end one way or the other.”
California Governor Gavin Newsom has already responded.
Newsom tweeted, “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. He is deranged and dangerous.”
