Donald Trump tells Iran to 'take out' Los Angeles or San Diego as 'small price to pay'
The US President appeared to provoke Iran to 'take out' two major cities in California as he claimed that the US are "kicking Iran's ass" with war "essentially nearly over"
Donald Trump has told Iran to attack Los Angeles or San Diego in a bizarre war rant as he claims the conflict is the US are "kicking Iran's ass". Trump launched the bizarre rant on stage during a speech at a rally ahead of the November midterm elections.
He spoke to crowds at the Pinnacle Bank Expo Center in Grand Island, Nebraska on Monday evening as he campaigned alongside Pete Ricketts.
He spoke on several issues and signed an order extending tax-free use of red dye diesel. He told the crowds: "By the way, we're kicking Iran's ass, you do know that, right?"
The US President then appeared to provoke Iran to 'take out' major cities in California, declaring that would be a 'small price to pay'.
Donald Trump said: "Remember, 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. They can take out a city. Let them take out Los Angeles or San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."
Trump added: "It's essentially almost over.
"They always say they have a big threshold for pain, let me tell you, they need it.
"It's going to end very soon and it'll end one way or the other."
Trump added that fuel prices will also change very shortly as he suggested war is nearly over.
The president added: "It'll end very quickly and prices are gonna come down very sharply. You might say, 'Please, please, Sir, it's going down too fast!' You watch"
His speech comes as part of what the Republican president says is a 32-day blitz of rallies ahead of November 3.
He has travelled to Oklahoma and Alabama so far.
On Wednesday, he’ll make his second stop in two weeks in Texas with a rally in San Antonio.
