Trump accuses rival of deceitful campaign tricks ahead of Iowa caucuses

Former US President Donald Trump has launched an attack on his rival, Vivek Ramaswamy, accusing him of engaging in deceitful campaign tactics as the Iowa caucuses approach. Trump, who currently leads in both national and state polls, took to social media to warn voters against supporting Ramaswamy, while also criticizing President Joe Biden for the multiple indictments he faces.

Trump’s scathing post came ahead of the Iowa caucuses scheduled for January 15. Despite freezing temperatures in Iowa, the GOP hopefuls continued their campaign efforts undeterred. According to the latest poll conducted by NBC News/Des Moines Register/Mediacom, Trump commands 48% of the vote, followed by Nikki Haley at 20% and Ron DeSantis at 16%. Ramaswamy, on the other hand, earned only 8% of the vote in the poll.

Trump’s criticism of Ramaswamy is surprising considering the latter’s previous support for the former president. Ramaswamy had pledged to withdraw himself from the ballot after the Colorado Supreme Court barred Trump from appearing on the ballot under the 14th Amendment. Ramaswamy had also expressed his willingness to pardon Trump if elected as the president.

The news article quotes Trump’s social media post where he accuses Ramaswamy of disguising his support through deceitful campaign tricks, cautioning voters not to be deceived. Trump emphasizes that a vote for Ramaswamy is a vote for the ‘other side’ and urges voters to vote for him instead. He also asserts that the Biden Indictments against his political opponent will not be allowed in the country.

As the Iowa caucuses draw near, the political atmosphere remains intense in the state, with campaigns being carried out at full steam despite the freezing temperatures. The final poll results indicate Trump’s strong lead, leaving his opponents far behind in the race.
