Get ready for some political fireworks in Iowa, folks, because former President Donald Trump won’t be attending the massive campaign rally at the end of the month. Now, you might be thinking, “Wait a minute, isn’t Iowa where the presidential hopefuls go to prove themselves?” Well, apparently not if your name is Donald Trump or former New Jersey governor Chris Christie. They were left off the guest list for Governor Kim Reynolds’ “Fair Side Chats” at the Iowa State Fair. Talk about a snub!

But fear not, my fellow conservatives, because the lineup is still chock-full of heavy hitters. We’ve got Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, former Vice President Mike Pence, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, former US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley, and South Carolina Senator Tim Scott. It’s a conservative dream team! And let’s not forget about the former governors of Arkansas and North Dakota, the mayor of Miami, and a whole slew of other fantastic folks who will be gracing Iowa with their presence.
Now, let’s talk about Trump and Christie. It seems like Christie is focused on winning over the more moderate voters in New Hampshire. Hey, to each their own, but if you ask me, Iowa is where the heart and soul of the Republican Party reside. Maybe Christie should reconsider his strategy.
As for Trump, well, he’s no stranger to Iowa. In fact, he’s been there multiple times and even topped the most recent poll in the state. That’s right, folks, the people love him! And who can blame them? Eight years ago, he made headlines at the Iowa State Fair by giving kids helicopter rides. How cool is that?
But here’s where things get spicy. Reynolds, Iowa’s own governor, has been cozying up to Trump’s biggest competitor, Ron DeSantis. Now, I don’t know about you, but that doesn’t sit well with me. Trump is the front-runner, the leader of the pack. He deserves respect and support from fellow Republicans. But instead, he gets snubbed by Reynolds. Not cool, Governor, not cool.
Trump’s team was quick to point out that Reynolds always has a standing invitation to his events, but she failed to show up to his recent rally in Council Bluffs. The audacity! I can only imagine how disappointed Trump must have felt. I mean, who wouldn’t want to be in the presence of greatness?
So, my friends, let’s keep an eye on this event in Iowa. It’s sure to be a spectacle, with or without Trump and Christie. But let’s not forget who the true conservative champion is here. It’s time for the Republican Party to rally behind Trump and show the world that conservatism is alive and well, even in the heartland of America. God bless the Hawkeye State, and God bless America!
