The wording reported by the network directly concerns San Diego and Los Angeles, without the complete text of the words attributed to Trump being included in the available material.
According to Al Jazeera’s description, the reference to the two cities formed part of a scenario involving war with Iran in which some population centers could have been sacrificed.
The report also states that the episode sparked outrage among figures from both of the major U.S. parties: Democrats and Republicans.
The source, however, does not identify the politicians who reacted and therefore does not allow the individual criticisms to be attributed to specific people.
The available material from Al Jazeera also does not provide the location where Trump reportedly made the statements or their full text.
Al Jazeera’s report was published on October 7, 2026; this date refers to the publication of the report and does not establish when the statements attributed to Trump were made.
As reported by the source, the matter therefore centers on a phrase attributed to Trump and the critical reaction expressed by Democratic and Republican figures, without further verifiable details about the context or the individuals involved in the protest.
