It sounds like he's saying that destroying American cities and their populations are okay. What am I missing....or do I have TDS??

You have TDS. That is not at all what he meant. He's inferring that is what could happen if they are not held in check.

You are either a liar or very gullible. He did NOT say that. He basically said higher gas prices are a small price to pay to prevent such things from happening.

My goodness.

Because context wouldn’t help their narrative.

This is the typical, Leftist distortion of Trump's words. It's as bad as "the KKK are good people" or "there will be a bloodbath!"

He was just comparing prices of a short-term oil spike vs the loss of American cities due to Iran having a nuclear weapon. The fact that he threw in the navy-city of San Diego means that he wasn't saying "give them a liberal city...that would be OK."

If he had meant that, he would have just said "San Francisco."

You have TDS. Or are very dumb. Or both. This is worse than the very fine people hoax. LOL.

Once they destroy LA and turn it into Democrat Mexico they will then move to a new city that's not Mexico and ruin it.

What I don't get is the idiots who run from democrat cities then vote democrat where they moved to.

They have lost ALL of their ability to determine what is common sense, sarcasm and/or jokes, etc - It's very sad to witness what these people have turned into.... and they funny part, their family and friends won't tell them how retarded they sound so they all look even more retarded everyday because they truly believe they are 100% correct about everything

This is so stupid. The President rambles. Everyone knows it. He's saying that marginally higher gas prices are a small price to pay.

He didn’t phrase it well, but this was 100% taken out of context. I originally thought the same thing, but dug into it more and realized that was not what he was saying.

He said let ‘em, but he clearly meant to say watch ‘em, with the “small price to pay” referring to high gas prices in avoidance of Iran bombing American cities

Correct, to avoid the scenario to OP mentions. I’ve seen several leftists on X who initially said they were outraged by this come back and acknowledge that they got it wrong. They’re in the minority of course, but at least some are intellectually honest.
