Jack White Calls Trump "Worst American" Over Los Angeles, San Diego Attack Remarks

Summary
Jack White on Tuesday denounced Donald Trump as the “worst American of all time” after the president said higher prices were “a small price to pay” and suggested Iran could “take out” Los Angeles and San Diego.
Instagram posts from the 51-year-old White Stripes musician accused Trump of effectively recommending attacks on the two California cities and mocked rallygoers who cheered the remarks.
Steven Cheung, the White House communications director, said Trump was saying U.S. cities would have been threatened if the war launched in February had not stopped a nuclear Iran.
The clash adds to backlash over Trump’s Nebraska rally comments, which tied wartime price increases to national security and sparked a dispute over whether he was warning about a threat or trivializing attacks on U.S. cities.
