Trump unloads on ‘unreliable and disloyal’ GOP competitors as he barnstorms Iowa

Former President Donald Trump slammed his two chief Republican primary opponents as being “unreliable and disloyal” ahead of several rallies in Iowa before the state’s caucuses in a little over a week.

Trump went after Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), who he said “has ZERO personality,” and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, whom he referred to as “Birdbrain,” in a post on Truth Social on Friday.

“Ron DeSanctimonious has one minor flaw against the Democrats — He has ZERO personality. If I didn’t endorse him, he would have finished, during the Primary, at 3%. NO LOYALTY! Bobblehead is now in third place, Jeff Roe has taken all of his money and quit, and he should get on a plane and go back to Florida today. He never told the people, during the Florida Governor campaign, that they would be abandoned. Just like Sloppy Chris Christie did to New Jersey (He finished up at an 8% approval rating!),” Trump said about DeSantis.

“Birdbrain said, over and over again, that she would NEVER run against the President, “He was a GREAT President” – and then she ran. Two very unreliable and disloyal people! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” he continued.

Trump bashed his two main challengers in the Hawkeye State ahead of a pair of rallies in Iowa on Friday. DeSantis and Haley have also been hosting various rallies and events in Iowa ahead of the Jan. 15 caucuses.

While in Iowa, Trump will participate in a Fox News town hall on Wednesday, the same night DeSantis and Haley will face off in a GOP presidential primary debate on CNN that Trump opted to skip.

The former president leads the GOP primary polls in Iowa by a significant margin, according to the RealClearPolitics polling average, with only DeSantis and Haley recording double digits among the GOP field behind Trump.
