The cabinet had to go to Iowa. The President — that’s me, the President, very presidential, the MOST presidential — sent the BEST people, the smartest people, the toughest people, all of them, SIX of them, count them, six, RFK Jr., a BEAUTIFUL guy, very healthy, very smart, much smarter than the LOW IQ people who write about him, Bessent with the MONEY, the BEST money guy, knows more about money than any human being, maybe more than my uncle the great MIT professor, the smartest professor, his genes are good genes, very good genes, Loeffler, Collins, Greer, the BEST cabinet, the BEST people, all to Iowa in like one WEEK, tremendous, very tremendous, because Iowa is a tremendous state, and the farmers there are very smart, very strong, the BEST farmers, and the crowds at the Iowa State Fair were the BIGGEST crowds in the history of the State Fair, bigger than Lincoln’s crowds, the historians are saying, much bigger than Washington’s crowds, the BEST crowds, believe me, the most beautiful crowds anyone has ever seen in their LIFE. Nobody ever sent six cabinet officials to one state. Nobody. Not Obama, not the low-energy Bush, not the dummy before Bush. Six. I sent six. Four-D chess, the highest level chess, beautiful chess, while the Democrats are playing checkers, like little kids, very tiny kids, very low-IQ kids, the lowest-IQ kids we have ever seen.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth — tremendous Defense Secretary, tougher than any Defense Secretary in history, maybe tougher than Lincoln’s, definitely tougher than Washington’s, the BEST Secretary, very smart, the doctors said his brain is the biggest brain, person woman man camera TV, just tremendous, very genius, the most genius — he went to Iowa. He went to a BAR. With an ELK on the wall. The elk was looking at him like “Sir, Sir, very strong Sir, you are the best Sir I have ever seen,” beautiful elk, very emotional elk, tears coming out of the elk, tremendous, the most respectful elk in the history of elk. Pete stood under the elk and gave a NINETEEN-MINUTE speech. Nineteen minutes. The longest speech. The best speech. He talked about me, about the military, about the Iran war, about the reinforcements we need in Washington, very powerful reinforcements, tremendous reinforcements, the best reinforcements anybody has ever reinforced with. He said — and the lawyers said he could say this in a personal capacity, tremendous personal capacity, the best personal capacity, more capacity than any personal in history — he said there is a COST to doing very difficult things, to defending the country from radical Islamist crazies, the craziest crazies, very low-IQ crazies, who don’t get nuclear weapons on my watch, never on my watch, never, believe me. The troops died, very sad, very tremendous sacrifice, but we are WINNING, we are winning bigger than ever, the biggest win in the history of wins.
And I sent the others too. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — best Health Secretary, very healthy, the doctors said his bloodwork is the most tremendous bloodwork — went to Iowa. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent — tremendous with money, knows more about money than any human being, maybe more than my uncle the great MIT professor, the smartest professor, his genes are good genes, very good genes — went to Iowa. Kelly Loeffler — tremendous with small business, knows more about small business than anyone in history, more small businesses than anybody has ever small-business’d, every single one, all of them love her — went to Iowa. Doug Collins — best with the VETERANS, the VETERANS love him like I love the VETERANS, very emotional veterans, tough veterans, the toughest — went to Iowa. Jamieson Greer — tremendous trade guy, makes the best deals, the art of the deal, the biggest deals in history — went to Iowa. Six. The best people. All of them saying the same thing.
Even some lady in Des Moines — I don’t know her, tremendous lady, very pro-American, seventy years old, a real executive consultant, very smart consultant, much smarter than the pollsters — she showed up and she said, “Whatever the pathways for Pete, I will support that. He is an ambitious, pro-American, freedom-loving individual.” SHE said it. A perfect stranger. In Iowa. Saying it to the press. The best press line, the smallest rally but the most tremendous, and the lady said so, just a regular lady, very politically active, very small rally, the BEST rally, believe me. She’ll vote for me too. She has to. I have the best rallies, the smallest rallies but the best, the most tremendous, the late great compact crowds, the yuuuge crowds compressed into a very small space.
This event, by the way, a TREMENDOUS event, very important, the BIGGEST event, it was supposed to happen FIVE months ago, tremendous heroes, very sad, we had to cancel, the MOST respectful cancellation, the BEST cancellation, very smart, very gentle, because Iowa troops, the BEST troops, the TOUGHEST troops, very honorable, very brave, more brave than anyone, they were killed early in the Iran war, very sad, very sad, tremendous heroes, the BEST heroes, and we couldn’t do the event because of that, very respectful, the MOST respectful decision, but now we’re here, the BEST timing, perfect timing, perfect, the BEST, believe me.
The Fox News poll, very good poll, very accurate, very honest, shows my numbers at 55 to 42, which is a tremendous number, believe me, the BEST unfavorable-favorable ratio in the history of polls, far better than Lincoln’s numbers, much better, the historians are telling me this, just last week, very smart historians. The polls — the polls are saying 55 to 42 against me in Iowa, in IOWA, the state I won by THIRTEEN points, very close to twenty, maybe twenty-five if you count the REAL votes, the tremendous votes, the votes nobody talks about, the silent votes, the votes that are so tremendous they don’t even need to be counted — those polls are FAKE polls. The lawyers are saying it. The pollsters have very LOW IQs, the lowest IQs we have ever seen, lower than the people they poll, very stupid people, and they don’t know how to count, they have never known how to count, tremendous counters they are not. I might sue them. I sued people for less. I sued people, I sued lots of people, for numbers so big they had to invent new numbers, tremendous lawsuits, the best lawsuits, very strong lawsuits, totally winning lawsuits, the BEST. They say Iowa’s governor’s race is a tossup, the LOW IQ analysts, very wrong, very dishonest, it was SUPPOSED to be easy, the EASIEST, the BIGGEST win, and they say two of the House races are tossups, very dishonest, very wrong, they say the Senate is “lean R,” which is basically winning, basically the same thing, believe me, basically the same thing, just need a little push, the BEST push, tremendous.
I always said this would happen. I said it. I said it before anyone else, before the polls, before the farmers, before the LOW IQ people writing the poll, I said it. I said we would have to send the cabinet to Iowa. I said it. Look at the map. The BEAUTIFUL map. The Sharpie proves it. I drew it on the map. The map shows Iowa is tremendous. The map is the best map. I said it. In 2024 I knew. I knew in 2023. I knew in 2022. I always knew. The Sharpie proves it.
The farmers in Iowa are suffering, I know, I KNOW, very sad, very sad, the rural economic strain has become the central fact of these races, they have high fuel prices and high fertilizer prices and the grain prices are NOT what they should be, and people are saying — and many people, very smart people, the BEST people, my uncle, who was a great professor at MIT, he told me about this years ago, before anyone else, BEFORE everyone, that’s why I knew first — people are saying this is because of the tariffs, but people are wrong, the LOW IQ people are wrong, because the tariffs are TREMENDOUS, the tariffs are bringing in TRILLIONS of dollars, just trillions, the BEST tariffs, completely self-made tariffs, very few people could have done what Diklis Chump did with tariffs, believe me, Diklis Chump did this, very few people could have done it. The fuel is coming down — they HAVE to come down, very soon, the smartest people are saying it, before anybody else, I knew it first — and the fertilizer is going to be the best fertilizer anybody has ever seen, believe me, beautiful fertilizer, tremendous fertilizer, the kind of fertilizer Lincoln would have used if he had fertilizer, which he didn’t, which makes him low energy, very weak, very sad, very low-IQ by today’s standards. The farmers will tell you. They will. They will tell you. The farmers, the BEST farmers, very smart, very simple, the BEST simple people, they don’t really understand yet, but they will, they will when the trillions come in, they will understand, just wait, just wait. Why do they keep voting for me then? Anyway. They will understand. They will.
I had nothing to do with it, by the way. I never set foot on a farm. I never even MET a farmer. I was busy suing people, tremendous lawsuits, very important lawsuits, the best lawsuits. The farmers are doing it themselves, tremendous farmers, very smart farmers, much smarter than the analysts who say otherwise, even with the cancer rates going up and the fuel prices staying up — very sad, very tremendous sadness, but the farmers love me anyway, they love me MORE — they don’t need me to do anything.
The farmers came out. They came out to see Pete. They came out to see the cabinet. They came out for me. The BIGGEST crowd of farmers you have ever seen, much bigger than Lincoln’s farmer crowds, the HISTORIANS are saying it, the most tremendous farmers. They love me. They love me MORE than Lincoln. They don’t really know why, but they love me, very smart farmers, not THAT smart, but smart enough to vote for me, the BEST voters, the most tremendous voters. They’re HERE. Why are they here. Who can say. But I did this. Only I could have done it. Very few people could have done it. Believe me. The biggest crowd, the most tremendous, and that is what matters, believe me, tremendous matters, the most matters.
The Democrats were so down on Iowa they ended the first-in-the-nation caucus, they just gave up, very weak, very low-energy, the lowest-energy party in the history of parties, they couldn’t even TRY, tremendous quitter they are, very sad. The generals are saying, the very tough generals, came to me with tears in their eyes, said Sir Sir, very emotional, the BEST people, just tremendous. And then there were the IOWA TROOPS, the ones we lost in the Iran war, tremendous troops, the best troops, very brave, tougher than any troops in history, and I salute them, believe me, tremendous respect, the most respect anybody has ever shown, more respect than Lincoln showed, more than Washington, more than the generals who cry when they meet me, “Sir, Sir, very brave troops, very sad Sir, but tremendous Sir.”
Sir, the elk cried. Sir, Iowa is tremendous. Sir, the farmers love you. Sir, the polls are fake. And that is why we are going to win Iowa by THIRTEEN again, maybe TWENTY, maybe a THOUSAND if you count the tremendous votes that nobody talks about, the silent tremendous votes, the votes that are so tremendous they don’t even need to be counted, believe me. The best people said so. The smartest people said so. Six of them said so.
