A video has surfaced showing Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy in a controversial exchange with a Trump supporter.
This footage, rapidly gaining traction on social media, seems to be the reason for President Trump’s recent scathing critique of Ramaswamy on Truth Social.
In his post, Trump expressed dismay at Ramaswamy’s tactics, suggesting a shift in the latter’s stance from supporter to a political adversary employing “deceitful campaign tricks.”
["Vivek started his campaign as a great supporter, “the best President in generations,” etc. Unfortunately, now all he does is disguise his support in the form of deceitful campaign tricks. Very sly, but a vote for Vivek is a vote for the “other side” — don’t get duped by this. Vote for “TRUMP,” don’t waste your vote! Vivek is not MAGA. The Biden Indictments against his Political Opponent will never be allowed in this Country, they are already beginning to fall! MAGA!!!"]
The controversy appears to stem from the viral clip wherein Ramaswamy is seen speaking to a voter who expresses fear over the future of Trump and the United States.
Ramaswamy appears to leverage these concerns, positioning himself as the solution, claiming that a vote for him is, in reality, a vote to save former President Donald Trump.
Voter: “They are scared of you, just they are just scared of Trump.”
Ramaswamy: “They are. They will stop at nothing. But we’re not going to let them get away with it. I’ve got fresh legs. I’m not wounded. They’re not going to let this man do it.”
As the conversation continues, Ramaswamy and the voter discuss the deep-seated fears for America’s future, with Ramaswamy positioning himself as the youthful, vibrant alternative reminiscent of the country’s founding fathers.

There’s some convoluted “reasoning”.....
Ex Secret Service agent and Trump supporter, Dan Bongino, has said there are a lot of credible threats against Trump’s life.
I don’t doubt it.
Here’s the deal. My goal is not to “save Trump”. My goal is to save out country and I think Trump is the best man I can hire to do that.
If voting for Trump would save the nation, yet destroy him, I would still vote for him. Cold? Sure, but no colder than a commander sending a convoy down an MSR where it was likely they will hit an IED, or a carrier captain launching planes that he knows might not come home.
I’m sending Trump on this mission, even though it ruins him. I hope and pray it doesn’t, but “saving Trump” by voting against him is retarded Vivek.
Did Dr. David Martin just end Vivek Ramaswamy’s presidential campaign? Vivek’s company invested116m

“Vote for Me to Save Trump, Voting for Him Leads to His Demise”
Oh, so he is trying to save Trump’s life!
Now we see why Trump responded the way he did.
Never like Swampy...This just confirms my skepticism of this guy.
Not a surprise——guy’ll say anything to keep his name alive.
Probably has a talk show deal pending and a book deal.
So he needs to have realistic numbers after his name ....... to get the best deal.
No numbers............no deal.
Good to see this. Good timing also.
Vivek Ramaswamy has been promoting and presenting himself as the ‘safe alternative’ to President Trump while simultaneously pushing a constant talking point that “they will never let him win.” At a certain point the linguistic programming starts to be too obvious. I’ve said it a thousand times, and I will repeat it again: trust your instincts.

“Very sly”… It would appear to me that President Trump can see it, sense it and notices it also.
If Vivek Ramaswamy was authentic to his words, if he really wanted to advance the America First movement, he would accept the futility of his position and endorse Donald J. Trump. His unwillingness to do that says more about him, about his [¹]'glowing' motives and intents, than anything else he might say.
What you are doing speaks so loudly, I cannot hear a word you are saying.
“There’s some convoluted “reasoning”.....”
In your mind.
Take Vivek out of the VP sweepstakes.
At this point, after what most of us have witnessed with Presidents and candidates: Bush1, the Clintons, John Edwards(?), Soetero, Biden, and all the rest, how in the world can anyone get sucked in by these clowns?
Ramaswamy is a perfect example of running your mouth for minutes to say something that should have taken 30 seconds. He challenges a reporter about their lies, etc. Pres Trump looks them dead in the eye and tells the. They’re fake news.
As for……Ex Secret Service agent and Trump supporter, Dan Bongino, has said there are a lot of credible threats against Trump’s life.
I don’t doubt it.
They’re running out of options. Their cases are ridiculous and falling apart. They’re going to get desperate.

“Vote for Me to Save Trump, Voting for Him Leads to His Demise”
So... he’s speculating that trump will win and be in danger. So a vote for him will help trump lose. Yeah, cause that’s what americans want.
Ugh, I like the swamy guy, but he’s got to stop going down rhetorical rabbit holes like this. He only gets in trouble.
This guy does a good job of exposing the fraud known as Vivek Ramaswamy. Most of us were suspicious of the guy and picked up on his insincerity, but this approx. 4 minute video exposes some of his past associations and business dealings. It’s worth the 4 minutes.
And why would he survive the deep state but not Trump?(assuming, for the sake of argument that Trump wouldn’t survive). Vivek kind of skims over that question, but we all know the answer. It’s the same one that explains why we don’t see lawfare being unleashed on DeSantis or Haley.
What the hell?
Vivek is a fraud.
