Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Tuesday, October 06, 2026

President Donald Trump casually offered up two U.S. cities for Iran to "take out" while rambling about how the deadly war he launched is a "small price to pay." The 80-year-old president floated the disturbing proposition Monday while speaking at a rally in Grand Island, Nebraska, where Republicans are facing an unexpectedly tough fight to hold onto their Senate seat. "It's a small price to pay for keeping the world safe, keeping our country safe," the billionaire president continued, before chillingly appearing to suggest that he would accept the destruction of two U.S. cities home to millions of Americans. "They can take out a city"let 'em take, let 'em take out Los Angeles, let 'em take out San Diego. That's"this is a very small price to pay," he said, naming the two Democrat-led cities in California. The MAGA crowd in Nebraska cheered.
