the annihilation of two major American cities — more than 5 million people — is not a “small price to pay” for Trump's illegal war.

the annihilation of two major American cities — more than 5 million people — is not a “small price to pay” for Trump's illegal war.
Verdict: Missing context.
The full passage from Trump's Grand Island rally: “it's a little bit high. It's a small price to pay for keeping the world safe, keeping our country safe. They can take out a city. Let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay...” The first “small price to pay” comes before any mention of a city. He ends the riff with “your gas and your gasoline.”
