1 min readLadies and gentlemen, live from Grand Island, Nebraska, the president of the United States. On his war in Iran. Or not.U.S. President Donald Trump seemingly discussed the idea of foreign powers taking out California’s most populated cities while delivering a speech at a Republican rally at the Pinnacle Bank Expo in Grand Island, Nebraska Monday evening.Trump was discussing the war in Iran and the price of gasoline before referencing the Southern California cities.“With the war it’s just artificial, it’s a little bit high, it’s a small price to pay for keeping the world safe, keeping our country safe. They could take out a city. Let ‘em take out Los Angeles. Let ‘em take out San Diego,” Trump said, drawing cheers from the crowd. “This is a very small price to pay and it’s going to be over very soon. It’s essentially almost over with.”And the crowd went wild.And I swear he threw San Diego in there because he couldn't come up with San Francisco.We are so profoundly screwed.
