Trump Reiterates Threat to Los Angeles and San Diego Amid Rally Remarks

During a campaign rally in San Antonio, Texas, Donald Trump doubled down on a controversial claim that Iran could target the Democratic-run cities of Los Angeles and San Diego, describing any such strike as a “small price” for keeping the nation safe. The comment echoed a similar remark he made at a Nebraska event, where he tied the threat to high gasoline prices and his broader anti-Iran stance. Trump used the platform to rally MAGA voters behind embattled Senate hopeful Ken Paxton, while also warning of “trauma” and “horror” if the cities were hit. He concluded by assuring listeners that the United States would protect its cities and prevent such an event.
