President Donald Trump has been slammed with backlash after he suggested Iran "take out" Los Angeles and San Diego, and now actress and reality TV star Lisa Rinna has delivered a pointed, expletive-laden response.
Rinna, 63, who once worked with the 80-year-old president on The Celebrity Apprentice in 2011, didn’t hold back her furious reaction to the comments Trump made at a Nebraska election campaign rally on Monday night. She took to Instagram and reposted several posts condemning Trump’s remarks on Tuesday.
She then posted a TikTok that appeared to be aimed at Trump’s Nebraska speech, in which she said to the camera: “F--- off, Donald Trump.” It comes as ABC viewers are stunned as Trump suggests Iran could “take out” two major California cities.

In the TikTok video, posted on Tuesday, Oct. 6, Rinna appeared on camera with choice words for Trump, set to the music of Valse Sentimentale No. 2 by Eric Christian.
“Live from Los Angeles,” read the text on the video, which seemed to be a nod to Trump’s controversial comments. She offered a smile to the camera after delivering her message to the president.
“California stands strong together,” one user wrote in the comment section. A section user commented, “I wondered how most celebrities were going to respond to him saying LA.”
“You know what Lisa Rinna for president,” and “#lisarinna2028” were among other comments.

The Bravo star, who rose to prominence on Days of Our Lives, issued her fiery message for Trump after he spoke to a Nebraska rally crowd on Monday, discussing the Iran war and the high prices Americans have faced.
"It's a small price to pay for keeping the world safe, keeping our country safe,” Trump said.
“They can take out a city. Let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego,” he added, which was met with applause from the audience.
Trump’s remarks have been met with growing outrage from California politicians and celebrities. California Governor Gavin Newsom condemned Trump on X, writing in part, “He is deranged and dangerous.”
“Keep LA out of your damn mouth,” Karen Bass, mayor of Los Angeles, wrote on X.

Despite the outrage, Trump’s White House communications team has dismissed the concern and criticism. White House Communications Director Steven Cheung addressed the backlash on X, writing, “The media freakout over President Trump’s comments is not rooted in reality.”
“He was clearly stating U.S. cities would have been threatened if a nuclear Iran hadn't been stopped. America is safer because of the President. Iran has no nuclear, no navy, no air force, and no money,” he added.
The White House’s Rapid Response 47 account also clapped back at reporting that Trump suggested Iran could “take out” Los Angeles and San Diego, as the account called journalists from the Los Angeles Times “buffoons.”
“He was saying the U.S. is fighting to STOP Iran from having the ability to take out LA and San Diego with a nuclear weapon — which they would if they had the chance,” the account added.
