\n\tJack White<\/a> is once again slamming Donald Trump<\/a>, this time over the president\u2019s comments suggesting Iran<\/a> could \u201ctake out\u201d Los Angeles<\/a> and San Diego if it were allowed to develop a nuclear weapon.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn response, the musician and former White Stripes frontman wrote on Instagram Tuesday, \u201cHey republicans and conservatives that live in L.A. and San Diego; how do you feel about your Fuhrer recommending that the cities you live in get attacked? Click the video I reposted and watch for yourself. Listen to the cult members CLAPPING and cheering for this. Let me take a wild guess: it was a joke, owning the libs, insert cult rhetoric here, etc. The allegiance these people have to this corrupt felon is so laughable and ignorant.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThat\u2019s right, a U.S. \u2018President\u2019 that recommended that two major cities in our country be bombed because they don\u2019t give total allegiance to his ego,\u201d White continued. \u201cImagine any other President or elected official in history saying this. False flag incoming anyone? Just wait till next month when he begins enacting illegal measures to not allow democracy at the polls to prevail when the right lose badly in the mid term elections. I\u2019ve said it before and I\u2019ll say it again: The Worst American of All Time. #TWAAT.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tOn Monday, Trump was speaking at a campaign rally in Nebraska, where he defended the war in Iran despite Americans\u2019 concerns about the economic impact. The president called it a \u201csmall price to pay for keeping the world safe\u201d and \u201ckeeping our country safe.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tTrump suggested that Iran could \u201ctake out\u201d an American city if the country was to develop a nuclear weapon. \u201cLet them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego,\u201d he added, as the crowd cheered.<\/p>\n

\n\tCalifornia Gov. Gavin Newsom also denounced Trump\u2019s remarks, calling<\/a> the president \u201cderanged and dangerous.\u201d He added<\/a> in another post on X, \u201cAn American president is talking about Los Angeles and San Diego being \u2018taken out.\u2019 Where the hell is Congress? This is dangerous. The time to stand up is NOW.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWhite and the Trump administration have previously feuded<\/a>, with the musician calling the president \u201ca danger to not just America but the whole world\u201d last year, adding that \u201cno intelligent person can defend this low life fascist.\u201d In response, White House communications director Steven Cheung called White \u201ca washed-up, has-been loser.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jack White is once again slamming Donald Trump, this time over the president\u2019s comments suggesting Iran could \u201ctake…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":487575,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[536,19378,113053,47,13,74,76,75],"class_list":["post-487574","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-diego","tag-donald-trump","tag-iran","tag-jack-white","tag-los-angeles","tag-politics","tag-san-diego","tag-san-diego-headlines","tag-san-diego-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/487574","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=487574"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/487574\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/487575"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=487574"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=487574"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=487574"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
