Trump finally clarifies his ‘take out’ LA comment after three days of uproar

President Donald Trump insisted Thursday that he never invited Iran to bomb Los Angeles and San Diego, three days after telling a rally crowd in Nebraska to "let them take out" both cities while defending his war, which has pushed gasoline past $4.40 a gallon.

"The Fake and Artificial News is out there trying to say that I'm inviting the enemy to bomb San Diego and Los Angeles when, in actuality, what I was talking about was that a temporary increase in the price of Gasoline is a small price to pay for Iran not having a Nuclear Weapon and, if you want to see a big price, can you imagine what it would be like if they bombed San Diego and/or Los Angeles?" Trump wrote on Truth Social.
