It is Trump or NO ONE to the vast majority of MAGA voters who care for America and are ready to do what is needed to keep the nation free
In a festive setting adorned with Christmas trees proudly displaying red “Make America Great Again” caps, former President Donald Trump immersed himself in the Christmas spirit at the Waterloo Convention Center. Despite the recent Colorado Supreme Court decision to exclude his name from the 2024 ballot on constitutional grounds, Trump, undeterred, greeted approximately 1,000 supporters with a hearty “Merry Christmas.”
During his hour-long speech, the former President highlighted the religious significance of the holiday and unveiled plans to safeguard Christians and “other religious believers” from potential government persecution. Trump passionately proclaimed, “Americans of faith are the soul of our country,” encouraging Iowans to participate in the upcoming caucuses on Jan. 15 and cast their votes in his favor.
Please remember what the Court said. "If Pres Trump's lawyers file with the Supreme Court, he will still be on the ballot, appending the appeal."
They are setting people up!
Be calm. Stay the course. Get everyone you know and everyone they know to vote.

Interestingly, Trump made no mention of the Colorado court decision, and several attendees expressed indifference towards it. Kevin Briden, a 64-year-old supporter from Waterloo, dismissed the decision as “idiotic” and suggested that Trump likely chose not to address it because he isn’t concerned. Briden shared his evolving perspective on the legal challenges against Trump, stating, “I think everything he is doing is setting a precedent within the courts…he can say, ‘They went after me for this, therefore I can go after them for this.'”
Perhaps the Colorado Supreme Court can be charged with insurrection. At the very least election interference and malfeasance. – Ken vicinus
While some media outlets characterized the Colorado court decision as a “bombshell,” the Trump campaign dismissed it as a “completely flawed decision” from an “all-Democrat-appointed” court. Steven Cheung, a spokesperson for the Trump campaign, expressed confidence in the U.S. Supreme Court overturning the ruling, branding it as part of ongoing election interference to undermine Trump’s potential 2024 candidacy against Democrat President Joe Biden.

Briden echoed this sentiment, claiming that Trump’s opponents are trying to destroy hope and discourage support for him. Despite legal challenges, Briden asserted that Trump’s popularity has only increased, as evidenced by consistent poll results. He emphasized, “Everything that is happening is showing how corrupt the courts are, and the people see it.”
The Colorado court decision accused Trump of violating the 14th Amendment’s “insurrection clause” in connection with the U.S. Capitol protest on Jan. 6, 2021. While Trump reiterated his belief that he won the election during the Iowa speech, he predominantly focused on the religious and Christmas themes.
Colorado’s top Court has now become a political organization joining the DOJ and Dem prosecutors to prevent Trump from running for President and deny the American people of their right to elect, or not elect, whoever they want. KGB Soviet style police state politics in the USA!

Trump criticized the alleged weaponization of the government against religion during President Biden’s term and pledged to defend Christians and religious believers. He announced plans to create a federal task force to investigate discrimination, harassment, and persecution against Christians in the United States. Trump declared, “When I’m back in the White House, never again will our government be used to target Christians and other religious believers.”
Briden, who identified as a Christian, noted a deeper emphasis on Christian faith in Trump’s speech compared to past addresses. He described the message as heartfelt, expressing his belief that Trump might return as a “praying president.”
As the Christmas and New Year’s holidays approach, Trump and other Republican presidential hopefuls are expected to intensify their efforts to secure votes in Iowa. The former President’s unwavering support, coupled with his focus on religious freedom, sets the stage for a dynamic political landscape in the coming months.
