At a rally in Iowa this week, President Donald Trump delivered yet another story of devoted supporters moved to tears in his presence — but critics say he has crossed into the realm of the absurd. The 79-year-old recounted a particularly dramatic incident involving a woman who allegedly grabbed him and wept, leaving makeup smeared across his suit, prompting widespread ridicule from those questioning whether it ever took place.
Speaking at an event in Clive on Tuesday, Trump painted a touching picture of his supporters' emotional devotion. 'I just left a great group of people from Iowa, and half of them were crying as they talked to me,' he said. 'I don't think they're crying because I'm doing a bad job. You know, in theory, you cry if you do a bad job — they were crying because I've done a good job.'
