During a Farmers for Trump campaign event in Iowa on Friday, the former president hoping to have a shot at a non-consecutive second term, amidst a slew of legal battles, railed against 2024 hopeful, Ron DeSantis, calling him a "globalist sellout."
"He would be a catastrophe for farmers of Nebraska and Iowa and anyplace else," Trump said in a quote obtained from Newsmax. "He has been fighting for years — don't forget he was a congressman — to kill every single job supported by this very important industry," he furthered elsewhere in his address to the crowd. "Ending the renewable fuel standard was one of his top priorities as a member of Congress. If he had his way, the entire economy of Iowa would absolutely collapse." Pounding in his point, he compared his own agricultural efforts to those of DeSantis saying, "DeSanctus sided with the communists in China; I sided with the farmers in America."
