Newsom calls for 25th Amendment after Trump’s remarks on California
California leaders condemned the remarks as dangerous, and White House officials said Trump meant to warn about a nuclear Iran.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump sparked national controversy after suggesting at a Nebraska rally that foreign forces could 'take out' Los Angeles and San Diego. California Governor Gavin Newsom and other California Democrats condemned the remarks, citing them as a threat to city safety.
- At the Nebraska rally, President Trump discussed the Iran war, referring to rising prices as 'a small price to pay.' He then stated, 'Let them take out Los Angeles; let them take out San Diego,' while discussing the war's conclusion.
- Media reports, including in The Los Angeles Times, interpreted the comments as a suggestion that Iran attack the cities. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass joined Governor Newsom in denouncing the president, claiming he suggested a foreign government attack Los Angeles.
- White House Communications Director Steven Cheung labeled coverage a 'media freakout,' rejecting reports as misrepresenting the president's point. The White House Rapid Response account defended Trump, arguing news outlets took his comments out of context.
- CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale challenged the characterization of the remarks, noting the president's 'rambling and incomplete fashion' made his meaning difficult to discern. This correction illustrates the intense political volatility surrounding the clip, which critics and supporters continue to interpret differently.
