Trump in Iowa: Only I Have the Capability to Rescue America
Former President Donald Trump spoke at the Lincoln Day Dinner in Iowa, where he expressed his belief that he is the only Republican candidate who can turn the country around after years of decline under the Biden administration. Trump, who is currently leading in the polls for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, criticized President Joe Biden, calling him “crooked” and “grossly incompetent.” He pledged to “crush” Biden in the next election and vowed to “make America great again.”
During his speech, Trump listed his accomplishments for Iowa, including securing $28 billion for the state’s farmers from Chinese tariffs and his support for ethanol fuel, a vital industry in Iowa. He criticized Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, another potential presidential candidate, for his opposition to ethanol.
Trump also touted his achievements during his first term, claiming that the U.S. had the greatest economy in history under his leadership and that he did more to secure the border than any other president. He highlighted his appointment of over 300 federal judges, including three Supreme Court justices who have contributed to ending the federal right to an abortion.
The former president also attacked Democrats on the abortion issue, accusing them of being extremists who are willing to kill babies even in late stages of pregnancy or after birth. He stressed the importance of politicians opposing such actions and not allowing the issue to be politicized.
Overall, Trump’s speech focused on his achievements, his commitment to Iowa, and his criticism of his potential Republican rivals and the current Democratic administration.
