Former President Trump took a swipe at President Biden after winning the Iowa caucuses on Monday evening, saying the Democrat was the \u2018worst president\u2019 ever.<\/p>\n
\u2018I don\u2019t want to be overly rough on the president, but I have to say that he is the worst president that we\u2019ve had in the history of our country, he\u2019s destroying our country,\u2019 Trump said of Biden after the Republican won 51% of the vote in Iowa.<\/p>\n
Trump went on to claim that former President Carter \u2013 who is widely criticized for his poor handling of the economy, resulting in high inflation and high unemployment, as well as the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis \u2013 was \u2018brilliant by comparison.\u2019<\/p>\n
He added: \u2018You know, my wife attended the funeral two months ago of Rosalynn Carter and it was beautiful. And Jimmy Carter was there. And I thought to myself, Jimmy Carter is happy now because he will go down as being a brilliant president by comparison to Joe Biden. He\u2019ll be a brilliant president,\u2019 Trump continued. \u2018He\u2019s going to be known as brilliant by comparison.\u2019<\/p>\n
The comment came after Trump led Gov. Ron DeSantis, former Gov. Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramaswamy and the other 2024 Republican hopefuls in the country\u2019s first nominating contest. The victory secured Trump the first 20 delegates in the race to become the Republican nominee.<\/p>\n
During his speech, the former president also said he would emphasize securing the border. The issue was ranked number one among Iowan voters, even above the economy, which was second.<\/p>\n
\u2018We\u2019re going to seal up the border because right now we have an invasion and we have an invasion of millions and millions of people that are coming into our country. I can\u2019t imagine why they think that\u2019s a good thing. It\u2019s a very bad thing,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n
Trump then claimed \u2018hundreds and hundreds of terrorists\u2019 were coming from over the southern border into the U.S.<\/p>\n
\u2018Nobody knows where they are. This is not a good thing. And we\u2019re going to have to deport them,\u2019 the Republican said. \u2018We\u2019re going to have a deportation level that we haven\u2019t seen in this country for a long time, since Dwight Eisenhower actually.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u2018We have to stop the invasion,\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n
Trump will now head to New Hampshire, where he will look to continue his success toward securing the Republican nomination.<\/p>\n
\u2018So it\u2019s now off to New Hampshire, a great place,\u2019 he said Monday. \u2018We won it last time and we wanted it both times and we love it. The people in our country are great. They are great. They only want to see one thing: they want our country to come back. They\u2019re embarrassed by what\u2019s going on. Our country is left out all over the world. They\u2019re laughing at us, and they want our country to come back.\u2019<\/p>\n
He won the state in 2016 and is looking to become just the second Republican ever to win both Iowa and New Hampshire and go on to win the presidency. Ted Cruz narrowly beat Trump in Iowa in 2016, denying him from winning both early states.<\/p>\n\n
