Donald Trump was heckled by a protester who called him a “climate criminal” during a rally event on Sunday on the eve of the Iowa caucuses.

The Republican front-runner, widely tipped to trounce rivals Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley when the Midwestern state votes on Monday, was speaking in Indianola when he was interrupted by the activist, whom he told to “go home to mommy.”

Also on Sunday, the candidate urged Iowans to defy the harsh winter weather and get out to the polls even if they are “sick as a dog”, assuring them that even if people “passed away” shortly after voting it would be “worth it”.

The ex-president also launched into attacks on the judge overseeing the E Jean Carroll defamation trial in New York after he denied him a delay so that he could attend his mother-in-law’s funeral.

That came after Mr Trump was ordered to pay The New York Times almost $400,000 in legal costs over a failed lawsuit he brought against the newspaper, three of its journalists and his niece Mary Trump.

The businessman had alleged a breach of confidentiality regarding his tax records but the case was dismissed last year.

Show latest update 20 minutes ago Truth Social: Trump claims anti-Israel protesters being ignored by media and attacks Iowa rivals

Here’s the Republican front-runner spuriously claiming that protesters against the Israel-Hamas war in Washington pose a danger to President Biden’s wellbeing and are being intentionally ignored by the “LameStream Media” before explicitly making the connection that might already have occurred to you be demanding: “Free the J6 Hostages, NOW!!!”

As you might expect, he’s also been laying into Haley, DeSantis and Ramaswamy once more in time for tonight’s caucus voting, also attacking Fox News for giving them “one last shot”.

50 minutes ago Trump tells Iowa Republicans their votes mean he can punish his enemies

Here’s a particularly potent quote from the would-be GOP nominee yesterday, who told the crowd in Indianola:

“These caucuses are your personal chance to score the ultimate victory over all of the liars, cheaters, thugs, perverts, frauds, crooks, freaks, creeps and other quite nice people.

“The Washington swamp has done everything in its power to take away your voice. But tomorrow is your time to turn on them and to say and speak your mind and to vote.”

1 hour ago Haley says Trump is attacking her ‘because he knows he’s in trouble'

The Republican candidate told CNN’s Dana Bash yesterday that she finds the front-runner’s criticism regarding her toughness “comical” because, she says, he used to tell people when she was his UN ambassador: “Don’t mess with her. She’s tough”.

She also suggested that his increased attacks on her are an indicator that “he knows he’s in trouble”.

This is what the man himself had to say on Sunday when he was asked about her polling rise in New Hampshire.

1 hour ago Rubio and Burgum endorse Trump

Two former Republican presidential candidates, Florida senator Marco Rubio and North Dakota governor Doug Burgum, came forward to endorse the front-runner ahead of Iowa over the weekend.

Those decisions have not gone down well with everyone, however, with the Never Trumpers wasting little time in pointing out their hypocrisy.

2 hours ago Trump to hold rally on day he claims judge is making him miss mother-in-law’s funeral

Despite calling Judge Lewis Kaplan “an animal” over his refusal to delay a hearing in the E Jean Carroll defamation trial so that the defendant could attend his mother-in-law’s funeral, it now transpires that the Republican has gotten over his grief and will be holding a rally on the same day anyway.

2 hours ago Trump turns on Vivek Ramaswamy: ‘Don’t get duped’

The former president also finally turned on his election rival Vivek Ramaswamy on Truth Social over the weekend.

Trump said that while Ramaswamy had previously been “a great supporter” of his – only last week his rival filed an amicus brief protesting the decision to leave the front-runner off the ballot in Colorado, in accordance with the 14th Amendment – he could ultimately not be trusted because he was “not MAGA”.

3 hours ago Trump shares bizarre Biblical video saying God made him to be America’s ‘caretaker’

Trump shared an eerie video on the eve of the Iowa caucuses in which he appears to proclaim himself God’s chosen emissary on earth, sent to deliver America back to prosperity.

The three-minute clip, posted to Truth Social on Sunday evening, opens on grainy footage of an LP turning on a record player, broadcasting an apparently-ancient sermon in which a preacher intones: “And on 14 June 1946, God looked down on his planned paradise and said: ‘I need a caretaker.’ So God gave us Trump…”

What follows – set to a picture of the Republican tycoon as a holy infant, followed by a montage of apt scenes from his presidency – is an extraordinary expression of the man’s Messiah Complex in action, arguably bordering on sacrilege.

Here’s more on a truly unhinged piece of work.

3 hours ago Trump tells heckling climate protester to ‘go home to mommy’ at Iowa rally

Donald Trump was heckled by a protester who called him a “climate criminal” during a rally event on Sunday on the eve of the Iowa caucuses.

A female activist from the Sunrise Movement interrupted a speech by calling him out for accepting millions of dollars from foreign businesses while he was president, as reported by House Democrats earlier this month.

“You’ve taken millions!” she cried, before being drowned out with boos.

4 hours ago Trump urges voters to get to polls even if they are 'as sick as a dog’

Donald Trump urged voters to get out to the polls, even if they were “sick as a dog”, in a defiant rally on the eve of his first major election test.

The former president said that even if people “passed away” shortly after voting it would be “worth it”, and once again launched attacks on the New York judge who had denied him a delay in his civil trial so that he could his mother-in-law’s funeral.

His remarks came during an in-person rally in Indianola on Sunday afternoon. Mr Trump was previously forced to swap out other planned events in Iowa with tele-rallies due to severe bad weather conditions in the state.
