Former President Donald Trump speaks during a commit to caucus rally, Sunday, Oct. 29, 2023, in Sioux City, Iowa. DES MOINES, Iowa — Donald Trump predicted Sunday he would win Iowa’s Republican presidential caucuses in January, tossing aside what he called advisers’ caution not to overstate expectations, even as he greeted his audience by naming a city in a neighboring state.
And yet, when Trump took the stage he gave a hearty hello to a city more than 80 miles north, and over the South Dakota state line. “Hello to a place where we’ve done very well, Sioux Falls. Thank you very much,” he said, before correcting himself several minutes later. While Trump has for months attacked Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, the former president stepped up his criticism Sunday of former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, a member of Trump’s Cabinet, as she has sparked new curiosity among Iowa Republicans and a bump in polls.
Trump went on to suggest that a reason he appointed Haley to his Cabinet when she was still governor was to help Henry McMaster, then-South Carolina’s lieutenant governor and a devout Trump supporter, become governor.Trump’s more pointed criticism of Haley, centered on not her performance in his Cabinet but disloyalty to him, came a day after she criticized him for praising foreign strongmen and warned that his style of “chaos, vendettas and drama” would be dangerous.
