Trump will visit the Iowa State Fair on Saturday, his campaign announced Tuesday. On Wednesday, his campaign told the Des Moines Register that the former president would be joined by Florida Republican Reps. Gus Bilirakis, Byron Donalds, Matt Gaetz, Carlos Gimenez, Brian Mast, Cory Mills, Anna Paulina Luna, Greg Steube, and Mike Waltz.
Trump is slated to stop at the fair at 1:00 p.m. local time.
DeSantis also plans to attend the Iowa State Fair.
The DeSantis campaign’s war room briefly responded to news that these Florida Republicans would join Trump by saying, “Rent free.”

Trump’s upcoming stop at the Iowa Fair comes as he leads DeSantis by 25 points, according to the latest Manhattan Institute primary poll. Forty-two percent of Iowa Republicans support Trump, compared to 17 percent who support the Florida governor.
DeSantis has traveled to 30 Iowa counties, with plans to visit each of the state’s 99 counties, in an effort to cut into Trump’s commanding lead.
Although Trump will attend the Iowa State Fair, he will skip out on a “fair-side chat” series Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds (R) is hosting with other Republican presidential candidates.
Last month, Trump criticized Reynolds for remaining “neutral” and not endorsing a Republican presidential candidate.
Trump did attend an Iowa Republican Party dinner in Des Moines last month where he laid out his policy vision just one day after Special Counsel Jack Smith brought new charges against him in the Mar-a-Lago White House documents case.

“I will obliterate the deep state,” Trump told the crowd. “We will say no on 87,000 IRS agents who want to take your money and much worse than that.”
“They want to weaponize the IRS just like they’ve weaponized the Justice Department and the FBI,” he added. “And, by the way, if I weren’t running, I would have nobody coming after me, or if I was losing by a lot, I would have nobody coming after me.”
Yet, according to Trump, DeSantis is losing by “a lot” yet Trump is obsessed with DeSantis.
During the Antifa and BLM riots, Trump took decisive action. He tweeted “Law and Order” for weeks. The reality show emcee hoped the president would do what was necessary to restore order. For some reason, the president, whomever he was, decided to sit on his hands.
>>“I will obliterate the deep state,” Trump told the crowd.
Yea right, just like last time he was in office.
control,alt,delete......deSwampUs campaign now rebooting. the great reset is underway.
...to infinity and beyond
Two things to notice here:
1. Trump still cleans the floor with DeSantis.
2. The voters that DeSantis picks up are moderates, more liberal GOP voters. Not a good look for DeSantis.
Wow a whole 9 of them. There are 28 total. Looks pathetic to me.
Trump’s [sic] holds a firm grip on only 24% of GOP primary voters while 38% say they will consider him and other candidates in the primary. Nearly a third (29%) of GOP voters say they will vote for anyone except Trump.
The governors of that states responsibility. Just like Jan 6.

He’s not the only president to deal with agency problems - subordinates have always done what was good for them, not what was good for their boss. The mark of an effective manager is he picks good subordinates and gets them to do what he wants in spite of their personal preferences. Trump’s trademark is not to bother with details, let his underlings do whatever they want and blame Deep State (aka The Matrix aka The dog ate my homework) for his own inattention and laziness.
You know, he was under constant attack from the Deep State from his the moment he entered office to the moment he left. You act like he had a peaceful Presidency and he was twiddling his thumbs. Do you think DeSantis will drain the swamp? It will be pretty difficult for him to do so when swamp dwellers like Rove, Ryan and the Bush dynasty is supporting him.
Billionaires like Trump certainly aren’t lazy.
He was quite busy. Take a look.

And that will be different how if he gets re-elected?
