As expected, former Republican President Donald Trump won the GOP presidential caucus in Iowa on Monday.

During his victory speech, Trump—who faces multiple criminal indictments and civil actions—invoked Democratic President Jimmy Carter to mock his 2020 (and presumptive 2024) presidential rival, Democrat Joe Biden.

In a speech before his supporters on Monday, Trump said:

"So I don’t want to be overly rough on the President, but I have to say that [Joe Biden] is the worst president that we’ve had in the history of our country. He’s destroying our country."
"My wife attended the funeral two months ago of Rosalynn Carter and it was beautiful and Jimmy Carter was there."
"And I thought to myself, 'Jimmy Carter is happy now because he will go down as being a brilliant President by comparison to Joe Biden'."
"He’ll be a brilliant President! He’s going to be known as brilliant by comparison."

You can see Trump's comments here:

People were offended by Trump linking the funeral of First Lady Rosalynn Carter to her husband's happiness.













As expected, Trump took top spot in Monday's Iowa GOP caucus where the second place finish was more hotly contested.

Results as of this writing are:

  • Donald Trump - 51% - 56,260 votes - 20 delegates
  • Ron DeSantis - 21.2% - 23,420 votes - 9 delegates
  • Nikki Haley - 19.1% - 21,085 votes - 8 delegates
  • Vivek Ramaswamy - 7.7% - 8,449 votes - 3 delegates
  • Ryan Binkley - 0.7% - 774 votes - 0 delegates
  • Asa Hutchinson - 0.2% - 191 votes - 0 delegates
  • Others - <0.1% - 84 votes - 0 delegates
  • Chris Christie - <0.1% - 35 votes - 0 delegates

Only 14 percent of Iowa's registered Republicans showed up on Monday—the lowest voter turnout in years. Iowa GOP officials blamed the weather for the low participation.

Alexander Skarsgård Jokingly Reveals NSFW Reason He Didn't Move In With 'Harry Potter' Star Miriam Margolyes

In a parallel universe, Alexander Skarsgård might have spent his early Hollywood days sharing a kitchen with Miriam Margolyes, casually passing her the salt. In contrast, she would have given him unsolicited life advice or flirted a little. Alas, that universe never came into existence, but according to last Friday’s episode of The Graham Norton Show, it was surprisingly close.

Skarsgård, 49, and Margolyes, 84, found themselves on Norton’s famous red couch last Friday alongside All’s Fair star Glenn Close and Bridgerton breakout Nicola Coughlan. The conversation quickly veered into real estate comedy, queer history, and one baffled Swedish actor trying to remind a beloved British legend that they had met before. It was chaos in its most refined form.

Gavin Newsom Trolls Pete Hegseth Hard For Trying To Meme Drug Boat Bombing Scandal

After Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made light of his deadly attacks on alleged drug-smuggling vessels in the Caribbean by turning the scandal into a meme featuring Franklin the Turtle, California Governor Gavin Newsom memed him right back to stress that the bombing of these boats constitutes a war crime.

Hegseth's original meme, which he inexplicably captioned "for your Christmas wish list," features a doctored book cover titled Franklin Targets Narco Terrorists and shows Franklin, the protagonist of the popular Canadian children's book series authored by Paulette Bourgeois and illustrated by Brenda Clark, firing a bazooka from a helicopter at boats in the water below.

Damning Leaked Report Reveals Embarrassing Demand Kash Patel Made After Charlie Kirk Assassination

FBI Director Kash Patel is facing criticism after a newly released report by the “National Alliance of Retired and Active Duty FBI Special Agents and Analysts" revealed Patel flew to Utah the day after far-right activist Charlie Kirk’s assassination and remained aboard the aircraft until officials provided him with a medium-sized FBI raid jacket.

Instead of immediately stepping into his role upon arriving at the site of the killing of someone he had publicly called a close friend, the FBI director reportedly fixated on wardrobe details—delaying his exit from the aircraft over the precise jacket and patches he believed he was entitled to, rather than proceeding with his duties.
