Former President Trump announced his campaign leadership team in Iowa on Monday — a move that comes as the former president has spent recent weeks in other early presidential primary states like New Hampshire and South Carolina.

Trump has hired Eric Branstad and state Rep. Bobby Kaufmann (R) as senior advisers and Marshall Moreau as his state director, and named Alex Latcham as his early states director. He’ll head political operations in South Carolina, New Hampshire, Nevada and Iowa.

Branstad worked on the former president’s last two presidential campaigns in the state in addition to working under the Trump administration as a Commerce Department senior adviser. Latcham also worked under the Trump administration as a deputy White House political director in the White House Political Office.

“As Democrats destroy decades of tradition, we must always protect Iowa’s First-in-the-Nation Caucuses,” Trump said in a statement issued through his campaign.

The moves also come as other prospective and declared GOP presidential hopefuls are making visits to the Hawkeye State, like declared contender Nikki Haley; Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) for his listening tour, which will stop in the state; and former Vice President Mike Pence at a recent event at a Pizza Ranch in Cedar Rapids

All “in it for themselves”

I really don’t think he needs it. If elected he should go after the ethanol subsidies. They’re stupid.

Best thing I like about Trumnp is that he is not in the pockets of any rich donor. Every other potential candidate running will depend on sugar daddy’s to fuel their campaign.

And all you smart people know what a sugar daay expects in return.

You haven’t seen Trumps superpac. He’s openly courting big money

Tim Scott is HILLARIOUS!! WHAT has he accomplished??? he couldn't even get his POLICE REFORM bill passed! LOSER!

Nikki done way mlore than he has, but I would NOT vote for any of them.

So you think Trump is going to spend his own money to run?

Or maybe those “5000X matching donation” emails that we supporters annoyedly received every 5 minutes will do the trick?

Why should he? He is not stupid. He will get millions of small donations, and his bigger donations will be of voluntary nature. People like globalist Koch brothers won’t be able to put Trump in their pockets. Above all Trump can also spend his own money. He has already hired campaign staff in Iowa, while others are scrounging around to the rich donor class. It is so good to have a candidate who is not a puppet for his masters.
