That is a lie. He did not “give VanderPlaatss $100,000.”

What happened was that his campaign bought an ad in the program for VanderPlaats’s event and bought a table at the event. A couple of other campaigns did the same.

Trump did, in fact, seek the endorsement AND OFFERED TO PAY FOR IT. That’s according to someone extremely close to the situation.

You’re being gaslighted.

(BTW, VanderPlaats has endorsed the winner in Iowa in each of hte last 4 contested nomination fights.)

How much did Duh-Saintis pay for simony Plats endorsement? I remember this fraud from the Canadian Cruz unconstitutional presidential campaign…. All you President Trump haters sure had no problem ignoring Cruz and his ‘Oh Mandy’ at CNN.. this bunch are hypocrites and the truth is no where near them..

So you’re going to ignore you said Trump tried to bribe vander plaats for an endorsement, and accused others when he didn’t get it...

Figures....

Typical behavior to expect from desantis and his supporters.

Both are wannabe preachers and make up stories.

As Trump used to say, “The Bible held high. He puts it down and then he lies.”

Better yet....

Post your credible media source that says Trump tried to bribe vander plaats, and when he got rejected, began attacking desantis....

Or it shows you lied and just made stuff up
