Trump Attacks GOP Iowa Gov For Remaining “Neutral”

Posted this afternoon to Trump’s Truth Social account:

I love Iowa, protected & expanded Ethanol, got 28 Billion Dollars from China for our great Farmers, ended the Estate (Death!) Tax on farms, made the best TRADE deals in history (USMCA, China, & many more), introduced the World to our FARMERS, & kept Iowa’s “First in the Nation” status. I opened up the Governor position for Kim Reynolds, & when she fell behind, I ENDORSED her, did big Rallies, & she won. Now, she wants to remain “NEUTRAL.” I don’t invite her to events! DeSanctus down 45 points!

Trump “opened up” the job for Reynolds by appointing Iowa’s then-governor as ambassador to China. In 2018 and 2022 she ran unopposed in the GOP gubernatorial primary. And of course, that bit about China is just another stupid fucking lie.

Before Trump’s latest visit to Iowa on Friday, a behind-the-scenes standoff played out for days over whether Reynolds would join him. Trump refused to call to invite her. Ultimately, she did not attend. https://t.co/j0SzBhIeCs
