Which MAGAt is man enough to admit to crying and sobbing for Trump?
....
While pandering to Iowa farmers — some of whom were likely in the crowd of 2,500 — Trump claimed that farmers and builders who have never cried in their life are coming up to him sobbing to praise and thank him for everything he’s done for them. “They were crying, many of them crying. People that had never cried before,” he said.

Trump then made an unfounded claim that the electric batteries on boats are so heavy that the boats sink. “Let’s say your boat goes down and I’m sitting on this big powerful battery. Do I get electrocuted?” Trump asked before saying he’d rather get electrocuted than be killed by a shark.
He also promised to repeal “Joe Biden’s absolutely insane, job killing electric vehicle mandate on day one.”
Moving on to the culture wars, Trump claimed that he saved Christmas. “We brought back Merry Christmas. No one fights it anymore. No one fights it,” he said. “These woke [federal] departments didn’t want to use it. We brought back Christmas. We brought back a lot of things.”
Trump next turned to complaining about helping DeSantis (whom he called “a bad seed”) get elected, then claimed he doesn’t care about him anymore because he is far behind him in the polls. The former president spent the subsequent 15-plus minutes whining about DeSantis.
“Anybody you help get elected should support you… Ten percent of the time, you help somebody a lot, then all of a sudden they go against you,” Trump said. “It’s hard to like those people but it happens.”
“I’m the one who turned Florida, he didn’t turn Florida,” Trump whined. “[DeSantis] rode my coattails.”
After mentioning DeSantis aka “DeSanctis” multiple times, Trump claimed he doesn’t name names of those who turned against him.
The former president also waxed poetic about his derogatory nicknames that he uses to label his opponents, including DeSantis. “Branding is a great thing. You brand somebody. So It’s DeSanctimonious. I’ve never said this… It’s a beautiful term, DeSanctimonious. It flows. But you sorta can use it once every two or three paragraphs,” Trump said, adding, “But the abbreviation is DeSanctis… It’s a beautiful thing. It’s actually sort of a genius thought.”
Trump next told the Iowa crowd that DeSantis is a “sworn enemy” of farmers and he will “stab you in the back like he stabbed MAGA in the back.”
In closing his remarks, Trump told his supporters that 2024 is “our final battle” before he threw some some red meat to the one in four Republicans who are also QAnon believers by promising to rid the government of the “Deep State.”
“With you at my side, we will demolish the Deep State,” he said. “We will expel the war mongers from our government… The great silent majority is rising like never before.”
