Several leaders and citizens in California are left both speechless and furious after President Donald Trump’s latest statement about Los Angeles and San Diego. Many have outright labeled him as deranged after he thought it would be a great poll-moving decision to put into the air the idea of Iran taking out Los Angeles and San Diego.
This statement isn’t funny or clever in any way; it’s straight-up reckless and stupid. Los Angeles and San Diego are two cities that are very liberal and have become frequent targets of President Trump and his administration.
This all came from a recent rally in Nebraska that President Trump held, in which he told his supporters in the crowd that soon the nation will be seeing a tremendous victory regarding the midterm elections and denounced the Iran War as a small price to pay for keeping the world safe. He would then later state, “They can take out a city. Let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego.”
Purposefully suggesting that these cities are an acceptable loss in this War for his push for peace from what he deems a global threat. And of course, by his several followers and supporters in the crowd, he would be appalled for this suggestion of cities and lives being lost in Los Angeles and San Diego. Then, for the twentieth million time, it feels, President Trump states that the war in Iran will be all over soon.
Several city officials and mayors condemned the statement made by President Trump by deeming him dangerous and clearly advocating for an attack on U.S. residents, claiming him as irresponsible, saying the cities aren’t just collateral damage or targets in his reckless war.
Many people are now online arguing that whatever this statement from the President was just a dark-humored joke, with White House communications director Steven Cheung stating the President was “clearly stating US cities would have been threatened if a nuclear Iran hadn’t been stopped,” attempting to downplay the statement in its entirety.
In Nebraska, where the Senate race has rattled Republicans, Trump insisted that he was “doing great” and urged supporters to pretend like his name was on the ballot when they vote in November, which, by the way, is a horrible idea and clearly just shows that 95% of his supporters are brainwashed into a cult, but this has severely upset many California natives and has sparked a very big debate online that could change midterms even more, with Trump pretty much saying Hey, these cities don’t matter; go bomb them first.
