It’s more a signal of Iowans’ stupidity. I mean some people refused even to watch football teams associated with alleged rapists yet they vote for this overstuffed troglodyte Trumplodyte?
Here are just a few reasons why voting for Trump is stupid for Iowans or any breathing human.
Lying: Trump has made more than 10,100 false or misleading statements since his inauguration on everything from crowd size to how tariffs work. This has normalized lying to the point where it is no longer shocking.
Corruption: Trump, his family, and aides have used the presidency to enrich themselves. For example, taxpayers subsidize Trump when he stays at his properties, and foreign officials try to curry favor by spending money at Trump’s properties. Trump has sued to stop German bank Deutsche Bank from providing his financial records to two House committees. Deutsche Bank, which has faced scandals over past dealings with Russians, made large loans to Trump when other banks wouldn’t. If Trump has nothing to hide, why fight? Similarly, why is he fighting the release of his federal tax returns?
Conman: Trump sold himself as an astute businessman, convincing many voters he would bring prosperity to the little guy. However, between 1985 and 1994, Trump’s businesses showed losses of nearly $1.2 billion. They paid no taxes in eight of those years 1. Meanwhile, Trump’s tax cuts have helped corporate giants, but the little guy not so much. His tariff battle with China has hurt farmers and threatens to increase the prices of many consumer goods sold in the U.S.
Bigotry: Trump regularly insults critics and has slurred blacks, Mexicans, Muslims, and immigrants. He has called white supremacists “very fine people.” His policy that separated hundreds of immigrant children from their parents is inhumane.
Climate Change Denial: Trump has denied climate change as a scientific fact, ignoring government scientists who warn of serious consequences to the world unless we substantially curtail burning fossil fuels. Instead, Trump’s policies favor fossil fuels and help exacerbate global warming.
Dictatorship: Trump coddles strongmen and has taken the word of Russian President Vladimir Putin over U.S. intelligence agencies.

“We, the Yemeni people, are not among those who are afraid of America,” he said in a televised speech. “We are comfortable with a direct confrontation with the Americans.”
Really? Wouldn’t that look like a Teacup Poodle going up against a Great Dane?
I don’t think it’s his actions that are the problem. I think it is WHO did them that is the problem which can be seen by the charge being led by the infamous Rashida Talib from Michigan.
Take a closer look at history not just current events. Israel, Jews, and Zionism have been losing support for nearly 100 years since Arthur Balfour in 1908. Although I can agree that in some cases Zionism is wrong, hatred of Jews as a people and a religion is not right. Hatred of a country in my opinion is just not rational.
