Trump is railing against yet another Republican governor: "I don't invite her to events"

Source: https://www.salon.com/2023/07/10/

Another one makes it to himself's "sh-t" list.

Donald Trump once again took to Truth Social to unleash a bitter tirade against a former political ally. This time, the former president and 2024 candidate took a swing at Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds, a fellow Republican.

On Monday, Trump's lash-out followed reporting from the New York Times that Reynolds has a close relationship with Trump's closest primary-race competitor, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. Reynolds has also said that she won't formally endorse any GOP candidates in the primary -- as is customary for Iowa governors.

"I opened up the Governor position for Kim Reynolds, & when she fell behind, I ENDORSED her, did big Rallies, & she won," Trump wrote in his post. "Now, she wants to remain 'NEUTRAL.' I don't invite her to events! DeSanctus down 45 points!"

Despite Reynolds reserve of formal endorsement, the governor has appeared with DeSantis in all three of his Iowa events, and join DeSantis' wife, Casey, to launch the voter-courting campaign "Mamas for DeSantis."

(That's actually the whole article - all of four paragraphs.)

He endorsed her, so in his nasty little vermin infested mind, she owes him an endorsement. As if.

Hey, Donny, when are you going to pay all the money you owe to everyone you owe it to? Oh, that's right: NEVER!!!

The lies, the insults. Let's hope the election doesn't follow the same sad pattern.

Since 1980, non-incumbent years produced the following winners of the Iowa Republican caucus
1980: George Bush
1988: Bob Dole
1996: Bob Dole
2000: George Bush
2008: Mike Huckabee
2012: Rick Santorum -- Though Santorum got 0 delegates. Paul got 22 and Romney got 6 at the convention (So, they picked the loser twice that year)
2016: Ted Cruz
