It wasn't a joke. People are just mischaracterizing what he said. He said the costs we've had are small in comparison and that they could wipe out Los Angeles. I don't agree that it's been a small cost, but mischaracterizations should be identified.

The irony of this, is that if the Iranians exploded a dirty bomb in the middle of Los Angeles, Trump would actually make Iran pay.
The Democrat party would be more concerned about the "backlash" against their muslim brethren.

Good point.
If you're like me and don't trust short clips may not have been doctored - go to 12:04
It seems clear to me, with the audience cheering at the end providing additional confirmation, that he made an off the cuff joke, as in LA and San Diego are lost causes, let 'em have 'em.
The nation has seen these images
We followed the wildfire fiasco. We watched, unsurprisingly, the overnight change in LAs mayoral race. We watched in shock the corruption and fraud and politicians writing laws making it illegal to discover their crimes.
In short, we know what he's talking about. We can understand the context of the joke.
However, it is one of his personality flaws that we put up with. He's brash and inappropriate.
Of course the liberal, hysterical spin-doctors who also blamed Trump for anything and everything when it came to a wildly overblown pandemic are going to castigate him, for their own political gain, as though he truly wants to kill Americans when their is evidence otherwise about his concern for all Americans.

You have to be a very poor listener to "hear" what Mr. Trump said as any kind of a "I want LA gone" kind of thing. He is clearly saying that paying extra for gasoline is a way better alternative than what Iran could do if they had a bomb.
I feel so much better since about 11 a.m. CT on 20 Jan. 2025

They did successfully takeover the liquor stores in LA and have taken over parts of Glendale and Beverly Hills.
Of course they call themselves Persian so we don't think they're regular Iranian nutjobs.
I thought Glendale was heavily Armenian? Iranian too?
Glendale isn't quite 100% Armenian but it is a really high percentage.
There is also something called Persian-Armenian and even Russian-Armenian. I know an Armenian place in Burbank that will translate Russian documents.
As far as the names:
Regular Armenian is "ian"
Persian Armenian is "yan"
In the band System of a Down for example, the singer is Serj Tankian. The drummer is John Dolmayan.
This thread is proof positive how difficult it is to make traction with the left.
They don't care about facts. Or evidence. Or objective reality.
They care about their narrative and agenda, and will warp everything they can around it.

Be kind. Our President doesn't exactly have full command of the English language. His rhetoric must be graded on a curve and always interpreted in the most generous way possible.

There is a new concept that some people are trying out. It's called "joking". I'm not exactly sure about how you pronounce it as I've only seen it written. Could be a soft "j".

This is useful for people with a sense of humor. Unfortunately, the TDS crowd is severely lacking in that regard.
People think I'm an idiot or something, because all I do is cut lawns for a living.
This thread reminds me of trying to argue with a tree. Trees can not understand you, hear you or even reason with. Best to move on and let the tree willow in the wind.

Covid really showed us how insane, willfully ignorant, blindly obedient and authoritarian the vast majority of people truly are.
After the first four months of Covid only about 12% of people believed restrictions should be loosened that included only 22% of Republicans.
My family, as I'm sure many here, were among that minority refusing to following along and then taking all the backlash because of it.
It should come as no surprise that people are so deluded and ideological blinded they have rendered themselves incapable of logic and reason.

Incredibly patriotic and presidential to suggest we allow foreign powers to attack our own cities. He must really love America!
Glad you support trumps war to keep Iran from getting a nuke

The guy just said it at his rally in Nebraska. Unbelievable!
He shouldn't be able to say stuff like this or the Trump dividend. ( still hasn't paid out the doge check or Tariff rebate either)
I know there are a few people on here who didn't seem to mind when it was speculated that North Korea could reach Seattle with their missiles, but this should be alarming for most people.
It's blatantly obvious to didn't watch the real video. Just another liberal shill that believes anything your f'd up algorithm shows you.
Covidians, Communists, CNN, FOX, and all other MSM are enemies of the state and should be treated as such.
I am from California, and I don't care if Iran blows up California because it's devolved so much since I moved to Texas in August 2013.

Sure, kiddo. That's reasonable. Let them kill 39,000,000 Americans and $4 trillion of GDP 'cuz liberals. America First, right?
It's a decent start!

Have you ever met a joyful liberal?
Usually they are just mad at everything and about everything.
Its a miserable existence. Perhaps they think voting in their overlord, will change it.
Spoiler. No it won't.

Any and all Liberals upset over this is a fraud. Short and sweet. I didn't say ignorant nor closed minded or even dumb, yet those could apply. The uproar oh my god people, you're in luck. Today is Prime Big Sale day. You can get your vaginal cream delivered overnight and cheaper. Good luck.
Maybe they're selling some large pearls too, great for clutching.
Yeah, but what did he say about pot?

Trump just "joked" about an enemy state killing 16,000,000 people living in the United States. That's assuming they take out the metros and not just the folks in the city limits. That would only be 5,000,000. But c'mon, it's California so who cares, right? It's hilarious! That Trump sure knows how to troll the libs!
On 9/11 we lost about 3,000 people, mostly in liberal areas. Was that funny? Did y'all gut laugh when 3,000 people in NYC, Washington DC and rural Pennsylvania died at the hands of a terrorist regime.
Pretty hilarious, huh? Now make it somewhere between 5,000,000-16,000,000. Still laughing?
Mean words vs actual facts and action is a thing isn't it? The attack on our country on 9/11 was certainly real and horrible no matter which party the victims supported. 100% of Republicans would agree with me.
And why is your party in love with those animals and their religion who killed 3000 of OUR people? TDS?
Why is your party welcoming them, fighting their deportation and ignoring/enabling/defending their massive theft of our tax dollars? TDS?
Why is your party against ending their ability to attack us and our allies? TDS?
I'm not a member of a political party. And what he said was disgusting. Sacrificing millions of American lives is a small price to pay for what? Explain that to me. About 400,000 Americans lost their lives in WW2. I have never heard an American President call that "a small price to pay." Make it make sense.
You obviously haven't actually watched the video of this part of the speech. That's the only politically correct to say reason you think he said anything remotely akin to "sacrificing millions of American lives".
Public school, huh?
At the very least, you have to admit that Trump's rambling made his statement a little unclear.
Quote:
And again, 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, keeping our country safe. They can take out a city. Let them take, let it, let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego. That's, this is a very small price to pay, and it's gonna be over very soon. It's essentially almost over with.
"That's a small price to pay" could reasonably refer to the higher gas prices OR the taking out of cities. Trump hates California, constantly insulting them and calling them communists. Combine that with the fact that "this is a very small price to pay" comes AFTER two standalone statements about taking out California cities and it's not unreasonable to come to the conclusion that he was joking it would be worth it for them to take out those cities if it meant the war was ending. Especially considering the phrasing of "let them take it."
Your lack of critical thinking and ability to ascertain different potential meanings from a statement is telling…private school, right? Texas A&M is a public institution…why do you seem to think that "public school" is a negative thing?
This may be the most ironic post I've ever seen on this forum…maga is full of never-ending fear mongering and anger towards immigrants, trans people, progressive Christians, Muslims, and whoever else happens to be the target of the culture war of the week.deddog said:carl spacklers hat said:Trigger06 said:

All the while they've sold their souls to shill for a racist criminal who is all over the Epstein files in order to 'own the libs.' But hey, being able to laugh at Trump's bigoted and treasonous remarks totally negates all that.

No, I don't. Even as a half-breed, I can understand basic ass English.
Public school is horrible. Always was going to be, as all socialized things are.
I don't even support Trump on a lot of things, since he's such a fiscal liberal. But this incessant push from the left to demonize every thing he says is beyond pathetic. Especially this time when it's obvious to anyone with an IQ above their shoe size that he was talking about fuel prices and not desirous of having cities nuked.

But wait, Trump chose the temporarily little bit higher gas prices to avoid any city being taken out. And he is trying to convince others with the comparison that it is the obvious decision. But nuclear destruction is the eventual alternative if you don't do something about Iran, who has been at war with us for 47 years.
Is there a point where you are just too embarrassed to continue or look in the mirror and say "man, this logic and reason just isn't my thing"?
