Former United States President Donald Trump commented on Monday on the poll that showed he had a significant lead in Iowa compared to other candidates for the Republican nominee in the 2024 election.
"The highly anticipated Des Moines Register Poll of Iowa Voters is just out: 'DONALD TRUMP HOLDS COMMANDING LEAD In First Test of 2024 Republican Caucus Field.' Remember, I got the Farmers 28 Billion Dollars from China, the USMCA [United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement] Trade Deal (& many others!), saved Ethanol, Social Security, and MediCare, & got Iowa 'First In the Nation' status. Nobody else could have done this," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
"Anyway, I'm at 51%, a 31 Point lead over 'farmer hating' DeSanctimonious [Florida Governor Ron DeSantis], with the others gaining on him, but not on me!" he concluded.
