Donald Trump in Iowa: 'Drudge is amazing' (Trump in Iowa)

OSKALOOSA, Iowa — Speaking here at his first campaign event in Iowa, Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump had high praise for a site that’s an important factor among conservatives and the media: The Drudge Report.

“Drudge, who is great by the way, Drudge is amazing," Trump said as he was retelling his story of visiting the border in Laredo, Texas.

Trump had little good will for the rest of the media in his speech here in front of a packed auditorium of more than 600 people at Oskaloosa high school (with at least 400 in an overflow room). The billionaire real estate mogul opened his speech by bashing the Des Moines Register —whose reporters he had banned from the event, his team said on Friday, because the paper had published an editorial calling on Trump to drop out of the race.

“The Des Moines Register is standing outside too," Trump said to cheers from the audience. “It's a super liberal rag that’s not respected around here.”

Trump said the press often misquotes him and doesn’t accurately report how many people come out to see him or how much he’s worth.

It is well past time that the modern day versions of Julius Sreicher get outed.

I don’t think I will vote for the man in the primary, but I think Trump has discovered the sneaky political ploy of telling it like it is!

DIR calls Trump a “feckless blowhard”.

Trump bars them from speech.

Story is all over MSM.

People find out what DIR said and agree with Trump - not subjective criticism in any way.

DIR loses credibility, Trump gains.

I keeps getting better, every time I see it.

Rush has been saying for YEARS that the first candidate that showed the stones to consistently call out the MSM to their faces would get a huge positive response.

He was right.

I wonder what Trump’s Republican Party ‘advisers’ (most of them gay, by the way) are telling him with regard to handling the media.

Oh yea, he doesn’t have any. LOL!!!

You can’t lose attacking the media.....something the GOP has never learned until this guy finally stood up on his hind legs & said no more.

Absolutely. And Rush’s listeners knew it too.

We need, we HAVE to have Cruz, Trump, Carson, and Fiorina in either the White House or the Cabinet come 2017. If we don’t, it’s all over.

Trump is for real! I’ve felt in the past he wasn’t serious but he is striking a nerve, many nerves. Illegal immigration is hitting everyone, even libs that are totally in the dark. HUD housing, crime and a lesser quality of life will come to all neighborhoods (except Whiteyville where Obama will live or spend time with his godless pals.
