Trump intensifies attacks on DeSantis during Iowa campaign trail.

Former President Donald Trump has intensified his attacks on Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, a potential GOP campaign rival, during a speech in Iowa. Trump criticized DeSantis' record as a former member of Congress, including his opposition to ethanol and support for cuts to Medicare and Social Security. DeSantis has not yet declared his candidacy for a White House bid, but is considered one of Trump's chief rivals should he enter the race. During his speech, Trump also focused on education, vowing to cut funding for schools pushing critical race theory or vaccine and mask mandates, and supporting the direct election of school principals by parents.
