"Trump Takes Aim at DeSantis and Ethanol in Iowa Campaign Stop"

Former President Donald Trump campaigned in Council Bluffs, Iowa, highlighting his support for the state's first-in-the-nation Republican presidential caucus. He touted his pro-farmer stance, criticized Republican rival Ron DeSantis for opposing the federal mandate on ethanol, and suggested that his federal indictment is politically motivated. Trump called President Biden "corrupt" and claimed that the country would be in jeopardy if he is not elected. He also promised to sign an executive order banning federal funding for schools promoting critical race theory and other controversial content. Trump spoke for about 90 minutes, taking questions from supporters before leaving.
