It was his first event since a federal judge imposed a gag order on the former president. “Today, a judge put on a gag order. I’ll be the only politician in history that runs with a gag order where I’m not allowed to criticize people. Can you imagine this? D0 you believe this? I’m not allowed to criticize people.” Trump said. “So, we’ll see. We’ll appeal it, and we’ll see. But it’s so unconstitutional.”Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird officially endorsed Trump during the event in Adel.”He will uphold our constitution and our way of life,” Bird said.

I grew up on a farm. I grew up showing cattle and horses,” Sondra Schepper said. “It was great. The setting was fabulous.” Since Oct. 1, Trump has visited Ottumwa, Waterloo and Cedar Rapids earlier in October. He’s expected to return to northwest Iowa later this month.
