<div dir="ltr"><p>During a "Commit to Caucus" rally at the North Iowa Events Center in Mason City, Iowa on Friday, <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/news/enough-big-lie-104501475.html" class="gmail-link gmail-rapid-noclick-resp gmail-yahoo-link">Donald Trump</a>
still had a great deal of energy left after spending most of the
afternoon railing against E. Jean Carroll in dozens of messages posted
to <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/111700883606589039" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" class="gmail-link gmail-rapid-noclick-resp">Truth Social</a>.
In one such post, the former president writes, "Except for a Fraudulent
Case against me, I had no idea who E. Jean Carroll was. She called her
African American Husband an \u201cape,\u201d and named her Cat \u201cVagina." These
exact words were then re-posted in a steady stream along with a
cherry-picked assortment of screengrabs from E. Jean Carroll's social
media archive.</p><p>Pausing that busy work to take the stage in Iowa,
Trump then regaled attendees with a fresh take on how magnets work,
while also finding occasion to loop in John Deere.</p><p>On the subject
of magnetic elevators, Trump said, "Think of it, magnets. Now all I know
about magnets is this, give me a glass of water, let me drop it on the
magnets, that's the end of the magnets. Why didn't they use John Deere?
Why didn't they bring in the John Deere people? Do you like John Deere? I
like John Deere." After a bit more along these same lines, Trump <a href="https://x.com/RonFilipkowski/status/1743475842011869690?s=20" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" class="gmail-link gmail-rapid-noclick-resp">did a little dance</a> and left the stage.</p><div><br></div><img width="0" height="0" class="chq-track-image" alt="" style="display:flex; border: 0; width: 0px; height: 0px" src="https://www.cloudhq-mkt4.net/mail_track/mail/fcdaa85e4a3a1ab86f_1704572598604?uid=226430"><span class="gmail_signature_prefix">-- </span><br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div>============================================<br>Tom Johnson - <a href="mailto:tom@jtjohnson.com" style="display:inline!important" target="_blank">tom@jtjohnson.com</a><br>Institute for Analytic Journalism -- Santa Fe, NM USA<br>505.577.6482(c) 505.473.9646(h)<br><b>Visit <a href="https://globalsantafe.org/" target="_blank">Global Santa Fe</a></b></div><div>============================================</div></div></div></div>
