In his first Iowa visit of the year, Donald Trump targeted both Democratic President Joe Biden and Republican contenders. Just days before the crucial Iowa caucus, Trump painted a bleak picture of the US, citing it as a “failing” nation besieged by “terrorists” and immigrants. He rebutted Biden’s criticism of his conduct on Jan. 6, 2021 and aimed critiques at potential GOP rivals Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley. Trump labeled DeSantis lacking in personality and expressed disappointment in his presidential candidacy bid. He dismissed Haley as a “globalist,” highlighting their differences.
