At a campaign rally in Nebraska, Trump said high gas prices from the war were an acceptable cost, adding that Iran could strike Los Angeles or San Diego as "a very small price to pay."
“They could take out a city. Let them take—Let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego. That's—this is a very small price to pay.”

BREAKING: In Nebraska rally, Trump just suggested he would be unbothered to see Iran "take out" LA or San Diego: “They could take out a city,” he said. “Let them take—Let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego. That’s—this is a very small price to pay."

Trump on Iran: Let 'em take out Los Angeles and San Diego, it's a small price to pay

The commander-in-chief, speaking in Nebraska, suggests he wouldn't mind if Iran destroyed two of California's largest cities. https://www. c-span.org/clip/campaign-2026/ user-clip-let-iran-take-out-los-angeles-san-diego/5207907

To be totally clear, here's the full quote, which indicates he may also be saying that Iran would nuke CA without his war against the country:
-
Trump on War/High Prices: It's just artificial. It's a little bit high. It's a small price to pay. They can take out a city. Let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego…
-
K
We are in a war and our commander in chief is asking Iran to attack Los Angeles and San Diego. People who like chaos, destruction, and death will say he's just joking and it doesn't reflect what he is thinking about Americans in his failing brain and withered soul. https://www. c-span.org/clip/campaign-2026/…
-
Why would Iran take out Los Angeles when they could destroy a certain community in Florida or, perhaps, Washington DC?
-
Trump fear mongers Iran striking an American city with a nuke. "Let them, let them take out Los Angeles let them take out San Diego, that's, this is a very small price to pay.
-
K
Trump just said he'd let Iran NUKE Los Angeles & San Diego. https://www. threads.com/@aaron.rupar/post/ DeIa-PgDhu3 aaron.rupar@threads.net - Trump: "With the war, it's just artificial. It's a little bit high. It's a small price to pay ... let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."
-
As stupid as he is, the point he's making is that his dumb war is preventing Iran from nuking cities.
-
Trump: "With the war, it's just artificial. It's a little bit high. It's a small price to pay ... let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."
-
anyone know how many military service members we have in San Diego just asking
-
🇺🇸What fresh hell are we in right now where a US president wants IRAN to take out American cities!!??? "let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."
-
Could be any major US city and he wouldn’t care. In fact, he’d be thrilled
-
Trump telling Iran that it’s ok to take out Los Angeles or San Diego. “It’s a small price to pay.”
-
Wtf is wrong with any person supporting this absolute traitorous madman. Insane.
-
And yet another opportunity to play “Imagine If a Democrat Said This”.
-
New York would bug him only because he still owns a bunch of real estate there.
-
I just have no words to describe how I feel. And yet most in the media will just act like "this is just Trump being Trump".
-
Promoting death and destruction on Cities he believes do not love him enough is sick. This is not hyperbole. It would actually delight him because he is very unwell
-
Even if he doesn't care about voters in LA or San Diego, I'm pretty sure some people in Nebraska have family or friends in those places who they would prefer not to see, y'know, dead
-
Those Republicans with him are just as responsible and traitorous as Trump in destroying our nation. They stand there, full of pride and respect for themselves, seemingly oblivious to the destruction they have caused.
-
You don’t have to sanewash this you know.
-
If Obama had ever said something like this… oh never mind it’s useless.
