Donald Trump Turns On Vivek Ramaswamy In Truth Social Tirades
HuffPost
A top Trump aide said it was "pretty safe to say" the biotech entrepreneur would not be the former president's running mate.
Former President Donald Trump has lashed out at fellow Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy ahead of Monday’s Iowa caucuses.
“Vivek started his campaign as a great supporter, ‘the best President in generations,’ etc.,” Trump wrote in a Saturday Truth Social post, referring to the biotech mogul’s past praise of the former president.
“Unfortunately, now all he does is disguise his support in the form of deceitful campaign tricks. Very sly, but a vote for Vivek is a vote for the ‘other side’ — don’t get duped by this.”
“Vote for ‘TRUMP,’ don’t waste your vote! Vivek is not MAGA,” he added.
Earlier that day, a senior Trump campaign adviser, Chris LaCivita, had attacked Ramaswamy on social media as a “fraud” in response to a photo of the candidate with supporters wearing T-shirts bearing the message, “Save Trump, vote Vivek,” along with a picture of Trump’s mug shot.
