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:
Trump: my wife attended the funeral two months ago of Rosalynn Carter. And it was beautiful. Jimmy Carter was there. I thought to myself, Jimmy Carter is happy now.
