I have no idea what Trump meant by “Let them take out Los Angeles,” but I do know this: his argument that high gas prices are a “small price to pay” to prevent Iran from having a nuclear weapon is complete nonsense.

POLITICO exposed Vice President JD Vance as the leaker behind one of the stories the White House later cited to justify banning the outlet from White House grounds. So either they planted these stories and then used them as an excuse to ban the outlets reporting them, or it’s MAGA targeting MAGA.
