The battle of Iowa State Fair! Trump swoops in to woo GOP voters and waves grilled pork chop at cheering crowds - before blasting DeSantis who is plagued by foul-mouthed protestors AGAIN

Donald Trump made a grand entrance at Iowa State Fair on Saturday - overshadowing Ron DeSantis and other contenders for the Republican presidential nomination who were trying to counter the power of the former president.

Meanwhile, the former president arrived in the grandeur that only Trump can bring. Trump Force One flew low over the fairgrounds for the crowd to see. Secret Service wanded a long line of people waiting to get into Steers & Steins to see the former president. Mobs followed him throughout the fairgrounds, shouting his name.

Trump spent only about an hour on the ground in Iowa: he stopped by the pork tent, an animal center and then addressed a crowd at Steers & Steins, the popular beer joint on the fair grounds.

The former president was mobbed every where he went on the fairgrounds. He attempted to look at cows at one of the animal tents but was surrounded by people, who wanted photos and his signature. Trump shook hands as he worked the crowd.

Gee.....I wonder who THEY are 🤔

Probably followers of Laura Loomer. She has a kanck for this stuff as she's angling for a spot on the Trump campaign.

Lovely woman.

Iowa Pork Producers’ pork chop on a stick.

Ingredients

4 rib-eye pork chops
1 qt water
1/4 c salt
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 tsp black pepper

Trim the pork chops to create a handle (the “stick”) and place in a resealable bag.

Pour in combined water, salt, garlic, and pepper; seal bag and refrigerate for 2 hours.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Place the chops on the grill and sear, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.

Reduce the heat to medium, and continue to cook 12 to 15 minutes to an internal temp of 145 F.

Wrap the “stick” in foil and enjoy!

Donald Trump, in the poor house? Well the Democrats are trying to do that with all the lawfare they are waging against him.

Oh, pork house. My bad.

Foul-mouthed nutters are working against the possibility of electable Conservatives, and therefore indirectly working FOR more Leftist Authoritarians from the Biden, Clinton, Obama, Newsome Crime Families.

Yea, you are right.

Mark most of that bad behavior as the fault of DeSantis Online Influencers and their constant distortion of President Trump’s record and their general Nastiness towards President Trump and his supporters.

You know they’re gonna blame Trump for the hecklers.

Money well spent.

Remember the hecklers that Trump had when he started? It’s all part of being a conservative candidate. Can RDS handle it?

Is that the Iowa Pork Producers Association tent?

The booth probably is run by them, I can't recall. It's a little bit uphill from the building complex housing vendors on the upper floor, and animals on display within. We love getting the pork chops on a stick, condiments supplied but not necessary to enjoy the chops. Walk up a little more and ride the overhead sky glider to the other side of the fairgrounds where all the rides exist, and warehouses with vendors hawking goods.

We load up on food, then do shopping. My daughter's father-in-law runs several concession booths, and all the family joins in. The family has done this annually since the late 1940's. My daughter has been helping out for almost 20 years now. Father-in-law has turned over running the fair to her husband and his two brothers. My Granddaughters will join in not too many years from now.

Everyone should visit the fair at least once, very enjoyable.

Wonder how much Trump paid them.

More likely the 'conservative' Roe crew funded them, than anyone else ... Why would President Trump waste money getting the 'conservative' media time? See, you Cruz bots can dish, but, can you reap what you spew?

Another thread disrupted by the principal conservatives ... jutting out the chin and pointing accusing fingers without one shred of evidence ... bunch of cray cray Cruz bots.

Nah, Sanctus is done none for '28 now too. Notice how Rubio, Cruz and Paul didn't make any noises about running this time?

President Trump is like Chong Li. Most opponents don't get back up.
