“And again, remember, with the word, it’s just artificial [news], [gas prices are] a little bit high. It’s a small price to pay for keeping the world safe, keeping our country safe.

[Iran] 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 [the war's] gonna be over very soon. It’s essentially almost over with.

And they might keep going a little long, you know? They always say they have a big threshold for pain. They need it, let me tell you. They need it.

But it’s gonna end very soon, and it’ll end one way or the other, and your [high priced] gas and your gasoline and all of the things [will end].”

  -Pres. Trump, speech at a political rally in Grand Island, NE, 5 Oct 2026

What the Democrats Wanted to Hear

Trump believes Iran destroying Los Angeles and San Diego is a very small price to pay to win the war. Perhaps it’s just the latest example of the Democrats, LIberals, and their allies in the Media continuing to portray him as a warmongering, senile, selfish, Constitution-destroying, dictatorial fascist by misinterpreting, misquoting, and then misreporting their misinformation at nearly every opportunity.

The Reality
President Trump was either pointing out Iran’s inflammatory anti-US threats and/or daring Iran to launch a missile at the USA. Trump surely knows Iran has no ballistic or cruise missiles capable of striking the United States. Click the chart at right to see the maximum range of Iran’s various missiles.

Gasoline prices, when corrected for inflation, were higher and for a longer period of time under former White House residents Barack Hussein Obama and his protege, Joe Biden than they are under President Trump.

If the Democrats win control of the US House or Senate this November their repeated threats to pass the War Powers Act, and impeach President Trump (with one Democrat who is not seeking re-election already filing 26 Articles of Impeachment against what he claims is “clearly the most impeachable President our country has ever endured”), could force Trump to finish the war using a devastating military strike on Iran’s infrastructure – a strike he’s already allegedly asked The Pentagon to submit plans for, according to the Left-Center biased information outlet The Atlantic. And, as of this writing Commander-in-Chief Trump has sent the USS Theodore Roosevelt and an amphibious assault group to join the carriers USS George H.W. Bush and USS George Washington already stationed in the Gulf region.
