Trump told the crowd, “we’re going to win the Iowa caucuses in a historic landslide,” noting recent polling, which shows Trump moving ahead of Biden among voters.
At one point during his speech, a man from the crowd yelled “I love you,” to which Trump responded, “Thank you, I love you too even though it’s not generally my thing… when a guy screams out ‘I love you,’ but that’s okay, we love you all.”
