Forget the deep-fried butter and casserole competitions. The biggest attraction at this year’s Iowa State Fair is former President Donald J. Trump. Thousands of people turned out to greet the former president. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was also at the fair, but his crowds paled in comparison. At one point Trump Force One flew over the fairgrounds during a DeSantis event — and the crowd cheered for the airplane. DeSantis has already had two major staff shakeups, but he’s still dropping in the polls. At one point he was trolled by a tiny airplane hauling a sign that read, “Be Likable, Ron.” Watch below and click here to join Todd’s private Facebook group for conservatives.
