California screamin: Trump says Iran taking out LA and San Diego would be small price to pay
What happened
President Trump made comments at a rally in Nebraska that Iran taking out LA and San Diego would be a small price to pay for keeping the world and the country safe. The crowd cheered, while California officials and politicians responded with criticism. The White House later claimed Trump's comments were taken out of context, but the footage and transcript appear to contradict this. Trump's comments were seen as another attack on California, a state that has rejected him in presidential elections
