The former president has set sky-high expectations for his own performance in the first contest of the race for the Republican presidential nomination. He spent the day before the caucuses trying to ensure he meets them. His main GOP rivals all spent Sunday in Iowa as well, making last-minute appeals to Iowans open to hearing them.
At a rally in Indianola, Trump said his supporters could fight back against his political enemies, claiming that the four indictments he faces were driven by politics and renewing his false claims about the 2020 election he lost to Democrat Joe Biden.
Many in the crowd wore white and gold caps identifying them as Trump caucus captains who will help round up support for him Monday night.
Such a sad existence to be devoted to a con man.
What’s even more sad is that it’s likely he’s going to be our next president.
I hate that you are likely right about it.
He took it a step further on Sunday, suggesting casting a vote for him would be worth dying for.
“You can’t sit home,” Trump said. “If you’re sick as a dog, you say ‘Darling, I gotta make it.’ Even if you vote and then pass away, it’s worth it.”
And his followers don’t understand all it means is… I need you to vote for me and I don’t care what happens to you after that.
Which is consistent – just the same as they will force births but then do fuck-all to help the children God forbid they should need any assistance whatsoever. As long as they get what they want, that’s where their care ends.
Why make the world better when you can punish your enemies? PATHETIC
He probably thinks he makes the world a better place by punishing his enemies. These people are very simple-minded.
*Trump’s enemies
AKA fellow Americans. I’m old enough to know that Americans used to say ‘better dead than Red’ and here are, they’d rather be Red than second place.
Donald understands his voting base. If Donald says he’ll let the lefty elites ‘have it,’ that’s ultimately what his voters care about.
He doesn’t care about making the world a better place. Just HIS world.
Lock him the fuck up.
This run is so much scarier than 2016 or 2020, this language is someone who’s out for blood…
Sad, yet, fascinating how insane his cult has become.
Unless this POS dies, he’s going to be reelected.
I wanted you to be so wrong, but yet it pains me: I believe you to be so right about it.
No one expects the government to help them, they know better. All they want is for their enemies to suffer.
I mean if this type of rhetoric doesn’t get the supreme Court to take an originalitst vew of the Constitution, I don’t know what will.
Jesus Christ said the Same thing!
3rd party 2024 and end the 2 party illusion of choice
The illusion is that a 3rd party has a chance. It didn’t when I voted for Anderson instead of Carter, and then Reagan got in. Never made that mistake again.
2016 was my first presidential election and I voted for Gary Johnson. Unless 3rd parties become a viable option, never again.
Abolish FPTP and the Electoral College.
Biden sux. Voting 3rd party = vote for Trump.
Don’t!
Give me a real candidate instead of an old-ass-white-man and you’ve got the vote. Otherwise it goes 3rd party (same as virtually every zoomer watching Zionism destroy the middle east)
3rd party has as much chance this election as any other in the past. Consider that when casting you’re vote and pick one of the two parties.
