2. Trump holds midterm rallies, defends war in Iran
The midterm elections, which will decide control of Congress for the final two years of Trump’s term, are less than a month away, and the president has been hitting the campaign trail. This week, Trump’s itinerary has included stops in Grand Island, Nebraska, and San Antonio, Texas.
At his Nebraska rally, Trump assured the crowd that “one way or another," the war in Iran is "going to end very soon and your prices are going to come tumbling.”
The president argued that the war is worth the short-term economic pain.
“We’re saving the world from what could be one of the worst tragedies ever," he asserted, referring to the prospect of Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon.
Calling the war “a small price to pay for keeping the world safe,” Trump suggested that without U.S. intervention, Iran could “take out a city.” He named Los Angeles and San Diego as examples of cities Iran could target with a nuclear weapon.
Trump repeated that message at his Texas rally: “You want to see a horror show? You want to see problems? Let them hit San Diego. Let them hit Los Angeles. And you want to see some bad things happen, you want to see a country that would be in free fall? We’re not going to let that happen. We protect our cities. We protect our country. We’re not letting that happen.”
