Former President Donald Trump lashed out at GOP primary challenger Vivek Ramaswamy, who calls himself an “America first” candidate while praising Trump. The fury came after Trump’s campaign got upset over Ramaswamy’s photo with a group of supporters wearing “Save Trump, Vote Vivek” shirts bearing Trump’s mugshot in an apparent reference to Ramaswamy's pledge to pardon the former president.
“Vivek started his campaign as a great supporter, ‘the best President in generations,’ etc. Unfortunately, now all he does is disguise his support in the form of deceitful campaign tricks,” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Saturday. “Very sly, but a vote for Vivek is a vote for the ‘other side’ — don’t get duped by this. Vote for ‘TRUMP,’ don’t waste your vote! Vivek is not MAGA.”
