President Trump returns to Iowa today for one of the greatest rivalries in college sports, the University of Iowa vs. Iowa State University football game.
“President Trump attended this game in 2015 and remembers the incredible passion and electricity of the fans,” said President Trump’s Acting Attorney General of the United States, Matt Whitaker.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, the University of Iowa Hawkeye football and wrestling team later joined him on stage at a 2016 rally in Iowa City to endorse Donald Trump for President.
The President recently outperformed all other primary candidates in attendance with much larger, more enthusiastic crowds during a campaign stop at the Iowa State Fair last month.
A new Iowa State University/Civiqs poll taken from September 2-7 shows Trump leading his closest competitor, “Ron DeSanctimonious,” by 37 points with over half of the vote!

According to investigating reporter Laura Loomer, Ron DeSantis’ PAC is hosting a tailgate outside of the game at 1 pm then attending the game with Governor Kim Reynolds.
Loomer tweeted, encouraging Trump supporters to make an appearance at the DeSantis tailgate with pro-Trump flags and clothing and “boo extra loud for Ron DeSantis.”
We need all Trump-supporting students making an appearance at the DeSantis tailgate with your Trump flags and Trump shirts to show @RonDeSantis he’s not our guy. Also, be sure you boo extra loud for @RonDeSantis!
