Former President Donald Trump used a stop in Iowa to bash Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, characterizing his chief rival for the GOP presidential nomination as an enemy of Iowa ethanol and a threat to entitlement programs such as Medicare and Social Security.
Mr. Trump said Monday he will protect Iowa farmers and their ethanol, a renewable fuel made from corn and other plant materials, “from anyone who wishes to destroy it.”
“You have to remember, Ron was a disciple of Paul Ryan, who is a RINO loser who currently is destroying Fox and would constantly vote against entitlements,” Mr. Trump said, referring to Fox News and using the acronym for “Republican In Name Only.”
