Former U.S. President Donald Trump is known for his outspoken views on his social media platform, Truth Social.
This time, he has turned his attention to Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds. Trump made his feelings about the politician known on Monday morning and appeared upset that she has appeared at events supporting other possible Presidential candidates.
Donald Trump Has Never Been Shy About Making His Feelings Known
On Monday morning, the former U.S. President appeared to go after Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds for attending events hosted by other Presidential hopefuls, including Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. In a post on Truth Social, he wrote:
"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!"
The Two Shared The Stage Several Times When Trump Was President
When Donald Trump was in the White House, the two had shared the stage multiple times. According to a local Iowa CBS affiliate, Reynolds has appeared with other GOP candidates trying to score the party's nomination for president in 2024. However, Reynolds has vowed not to endorse any candidate in January's caucus.
She is far from alone in that. Many other politicians are choosing not to endorse any candidate, which seems to be causing the former U.S. President a great deal of frustration.
“I want to welcome everyone to this state,” Reynolds told the Des Moines Register in February. “And if I weigh in, I don't know if they'll feel all that welcome. But, you know, I've made it clear, I will be happy to help introduce you, help travel the state, connect in any way that I can — especially to make sure that if we've got big things going on that they know about it.”
