About Donald Trump, Vivek Ramaswamy said, “He’s Been A Great President”

Washington: Reacting to former US President Donald Trump’s verbal assault, Republican candidate Vivek Ramaswamy said on Sunday (local time) that he is not attributing much weight to Trump’s initial criticism of his campaign, CNN reported.

After a campaign stop in Ankeny, Iowa, Ramaswamy told reporters he “doesn’t hold it against” Trump for the former US President labeling his campaign “deceitful.”

In an interview with CNN, Ramaswamy said, “I don’t hold it against him; I regard it as terrible campaign strategy business consultant advice that he could have gotten. As president, he has been excellent.

According to Ramaswamy, Trump’s significant legal challenges and political opposition will prevent him from winning the general election, CNN said.

When asked whether he thought Trump’s criticism was timed to make the former president feel threatened by his candidacy, Ramaswamy declined to conjecture, according to CNN. He did, however, restate his conviction that Iowa is seeing a “late surge” for his campaign.

“I can’t speak for anybody else’s attitude regarding our campaign,” he said. According to a CNN article, “All I can say is that you would have to be living under a rock to think that this race is not seeing a late surge.”

Donald Trump attacked party candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, labeling his campaign “deceitful” and advising his followers not to “waste” their vote on him. Vivek Ramaswamy’s comments follow this assault. The Indian-American leader, he said, is not ‘MAGA’ (Make America Great Again), and supporting him would be supporting the “other side.”

Trump said, “Vivek started his campaign as a great supporter, ‘the best President in generations,'” and other things in a post on Truth Social. Sadly, all he does today is use dishonest political tactics to cover up his support. Very cunning, but support for Vivek is support for the “other side”; don’t fall for this trick.”

“Vote for “TRUMP,” don’t waste your vote,” he continued. It’s not MAGA, Vivek. The accusations made by Biden against his political opponent are already starting to unravel; they will never be accepted in our nation! MAGA!!!”

Notably, Trump’s remarks on Vivek Ramaswamy throughout the campaign have drastically changed as a result of this. Trump’s aides claim that after a slew of remarks and tweets made by Ramaswamy that infuriated both him and his staff, Ramaswamy has launched his first and most forceful assault on the president.

Ramaswamy has not criticized Trump in the past. Rather, on the campaign road, he often paid him compliments. Vivek Ramaswamy posted a photo of himself standing with fans wearing “Save Trump, vote Vivek” T-shirts on X on Saturday. The image included Trump’s mug photos from his August processing at the Fulton County prison in Georgia.

Trump was shown the tweet, which “infuriated” him, according to a CNN story quoting an aide. The adviser said that Ramaswamy has been attempting to discredit Donald Trump while misrepresenting himself as a fan of the former president.

Ramaswamy’s interview with NBC News and The Des Moines Register earlier this month apparently irritated Trump and his team. At many points throughout the conversation, Ramaswamy referred to Trump as “wounded.”

Ramaswamy said that he is better suited to carry out Trump’s plan, saying, “They don’t have on me what they have on him,” according to CNN.

Trump’s campaign said that Ramaswamy’s recent remarks and tweets were the basis for their reaction and that they had not seen anything in the polls to suggest Ramaswamy was closing the gap with Trump in Iowa.

One day before the Iowa caucuses, Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy said that he thinks his campaign is picking up steam in Iowa.

Eight percent of caucus attendees said that Ramaswamy was their top pick for president in the last Des Moines Register survey conducted before to Monday’s caucus, placing him behind Donald Trump, former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley, and Florida governor Ron DeSantis.

Speaking to reporters on Sunday in Iowa, Ramaswamy expressed his belief that he would surprise everyone on Monday night and expressed excitement about “delivering a shock to the world,” according to CNN.

Several times throughout his statements, he was interrupted. Ramaswamy was confronted by the presenters of The Good Liars podcast and had a series of heated interactions with a voter who kept interrupting him.

Ramaswamy was asked repeatedly by a voter about his ties with Trump and whether or not he would run for vice president on a ticket that included Trump. Ramaswamy plans to get the candidacy and win the presidency in retaliation.
