Mountain out of a molehill.
If you campaign in Iowa you have to take the party line on supporting Ethanol as Iowa is a big corn growing state.
Doesn’t mean Trump totally buys this, it’s is just part of the ritual when you campaign there.

Yet Cruz, who said the exact opposite, is ahead in the polls in Iowa. Getting away from being “bought” by money interests is what Trump is pushing all the time. Pandering to groups just sounds like the typical politician - saying whatever he thinks people WANT to hear not saying what he believes. But then again Trump is a big believer in Corporate Welfare as long as he’s one of the recipients.
It is part of the ritual if you’re pandering. Cruz has always told Iowans that he does not support subsidies and why.
Then why is Cruz not playing to the ethanol crowd, and winning? You see, ethics do matter to some people. The ends justify the means is poor justification for Trumps stance.
He who can be trusted with little can be trusted with much.
