Trump on the stump: Extreme lines, vague threats
What happened
Trump made comments at a defense manufacturing facility in Baltimore, stating that Iran could target two major West Coast cities, and that he has "some big surprises" coming up. He also claimed that prices are falling, which is disputed by independent fact-checking. At a rally in San Antonio, Trump said he would send out $5,000 payments to millions of Americans if Republicans retain their majorities.
Why it matters
