Former President Trump encouraged his Iowa supporters to caucus for him at any cost, joking that due to extreme winter weather, “even if you vote and then pass away, it’s worth it.”
Meteorologists warned of “life-threatening” conditions in Iowa for the weekend as the state prepares to caucus. Trump canceled three of his four in-person Iowa events Sunday due to the freezing cold and snow.
Windchill is projected to be as low as -40 degrees in parts of the state Monday, with temperatures also in the negative. The Hawkeye State is also recovering from a blizzard that rocked the region Friday and Saturday, icing roads.
“You can’t sit home. If you’re sick as a dog, you say, ‘Darling, I gotta make it,’” Trump said at an Indianola rally on Sunday. “Even if you vote and then pass away, it’s worth it, remember.”

Ain’t this the same guy who was trying to get votes of people who died from COVID thrown out?
Foolish if you think that’s a joke. He genuinely feels this way.
I’d expect him to realise that he at least also needs them for the presidential election later this year. After that he could burn them off on some sort of insurrection or coup attempt
Same guy who told people not to vote in 2020.
Huh.
this is not the first time trump has encouraged his supporters to die for him.
Oh wow, -40F is -40 in Celsius as well. That’s pretty rough indeed.
-40 ?! I don’t think I ever experienced -40 in my life.
“Funnily” we don’t even need to ask if it’s Celsius or Fahrenheit
I actually checked because I’m ignorant and they use Celsius where I live.
Honestly this is why Trump is so popular. If the left was half as motivated they would rule.
“If”? I don’t know how old you are but people lined up around the block during a worldwide pandemic (when there was no vaccine) to kick this smelly fatass out. They just didn’t go to any rallies because that doesn’t matter.
I am very ok with Trump encouraging behavior that could kill his followers. I hope they take his advice and go even if they’re very sick with COVID.
Yeah, I was just thinking that I 100% agree with Trump on this one.
at least it wasn’t a global warming joke
Trump is going to win again. I can tell because when he makes a joke like this certain people act like it’s serious and is an insightful criticism of the mind of a psycho killer. People will find this extremely funny, the joke is mediocre, but the response to the joke is comedy gold and people will want to see more of it just like last time.
