Hundreds of supporters packed Johnson Hall gym on the campus of Kirkwood Community College Saturday afternoon to see Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
The Des Moines Register reports Trump spent most of his speech attacking current President Joe Biden. He told the audience that the American Dream was alive and well while he was in office, but it died when the Biden Administration took over. He also called Biden “the destroyer of American democracy.”
Representative Bobby Kauffman, who spoke ahead of Trump’s appearance, got the crowd fired up, asking “Who thinks President Trump is a rockstar badass?”
Trump has remained the dominant front-runner in the 2024 Republican presidential race nationally and in Iowa. This despite him being indicted on 91 criminal counts in four separate cases, including in federal and state court where he is accused of subverting democratic elections.
