Trump 'Mental Decline' Speculation Mounts After He Says Iran Can 'Take Out' San Diego at Recent Rally

Speculation about Donald Trump’s mental state resurfaced after the president suggested Iran could “take out” San Diego during comments tied to soaring fuel prices at a recent rally in Nebraska. Trump framed the conflict with Iran as a short-term burden and said the higher costs were “a small price to pay” for security, adding that the war would be over “very soon,” though Iran “might keep going.” He then raised the possibility of Iranian attacks on two California cities, saying Iran could “take out a city” and naming Los Angeles and San Diego. California Gov. Gavin Newsom condemned the language on X, calling it dangerous and urging that it should have consequences. Reports noted that health-related claims are disputed and the White House has said Trump is in “excellent” condition.
