Trump Urges Supporters to Make a Thunderous Impact in Iowa Caucuses
MASON CITY, Iowa
— Former President Donald Trump passionately rallied his supporters in Mason City, Iowa, just days before the state’s caucuses, emphasizing the importance of not becoming complacent in the 2024 Republican primary’s opening contest.
“We must not take anything for granted,” Trump fervently expressed to the crowd on Friday.
Trump Aims for a Resounding Victory in Iowa
In his speech, Trump didn’t hold back in his criticism of Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL), asserting that the governor’s election in Florida in 2018 was heavily influenced by his endorsement. Trump highlighted his significant lead over DeSantis in Iowa and scrutinized former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley for her immigration policies and controversial comments about the Civil War and New Hampshire’s influence on caucus outcomes.
A Call for a Thunderous Message
Trump urged his supporters to send a powerful message during the Iowa caucuses on January 15th. Despite the cold weather, many enthusiastic attendees lined up outside the North Iowa Events Center, ready to make their voices heard. Trump even playfully engaged with an anti-Trump protester, drawing attention from the crowd.
Questioning Election Results and Criticizing Biden
Continuing his address, Trump questioned the legitimacy of the 2020 election results and speculated that conflicts in Ukraine and Israel would not have occurred under his leadership. He didn’t hold back in his criticism of President Joe Biden, mocking his age, physical appearance, and occasional confusion during public appearances. Trump confidently declared that Biden’s presidency would come to an end on January 20, 2025.
Controversial Remarks and Seeking a Fair Hearing
During his earlier rally in Sioux Center, Trump mimicked Biden’s stutter, drawing criticism online. However, undeterred, he made a similar joke in Mason City. Trump also expressed his desire for a fair hearing before the Supreme Court regarding his removal from Colorado’s primary ballot. He praised Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett, hoping they would remain impartial in their decisions.
Upcoming Events and Legal Proceedings
Trump’s campaign schedule includes visits to Clinton and Newton on Saturday, followed by a return to Iowa the following weekend, where he will visit Atlantic, Cherokee, Indianola, and Sioux City. Additionally, he is expected to attend oral arguments for his federal appeals court case concerning presidential immunity, coinciding with special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into election interference.
Why does Trump emphasize the danger of complacency among his supporters and what is his message regarding the 2024 primary?
Asserted that a victory here would send a powerful message to the rest of the country.
“Iowa, you have the chance to make a thunderous impact in this primary,” Trump declared. “A victory here will show the entire nation that the movement is stronger than ever.”
Trump’s rally in Mason City marked his latest effort to reclaim the spotlight and assert himself as the frontrunner for the Republican nomination in 2024. With several other high-profile potential candidates also vying for the position, Trump emphasized the urgency of his supporters’ involvement in the Iowa caucuses.
Not Taking Anything for Granted
Throughout his speech, Trump stressed the danger of complacency among his supporters. He reminded them of his unexpected victory in the 2016 Iowa caucuses, where he defied expectations and secured a crucial win that propelled him to the Republican nomination.
“We didn’t take anything for granted back then, and we can’t afford to now,” Trump declared. “We have to fight for every single vote, every single delegate.”
He urged his supporters to knock on doors, make phone calls, and rally their friends and family members to ensure a resounding victory in Iowa. Trump’s message was clear: the 2024 primary is no time for complacency or assumption of success.
A Booming Voice for the Conservative Movement
Trump’s rally also served as a platform for him to reaffirm his commitment to the conservative values he championed during his presidency. He highlighted his administration’s accomplishments, such as tax cuts, deregulation, and conservative judicial appointments, and promised to continue fighting for those principles.
“I didn’t come here today just to reminisce about the past,” Trump stated. “I’m here to tell you that we’re not done yet. We have unfinished business, and together, we will keep making America great.”
With his passionate rhetoric and energized supporters, Trump made it clear that he is determined to leave a lasting impact on the Republican Party and the conservative movement as a whole.

Iowa has a history of providing a strong indication of a candidate’s chances for success in subsequent primary contests. A victory in Iowa could provide the momentum and credibility needed to propel a candidate to the forefront of the race.
For Trump, a win in Iowa would solidify his position as the frontrunner and set the tone for the rest of the primary season. It would send a message to his rivals and the Republican establishment that he remains a force to be reckoned with.
As the crowd in Mason City cheered and waved their “Make America Great Again” flags, it was evident that Trump’s message had resonated with his supporters. Their enthusiasm and dedication will be critical in the days leading up to the caucuses and beyond.
