Don Jr. makes final Iowa caucus pitch for his father with Kimberly Guilfoyle: warns of a plot to ‘SUPPRESS the vote’ for Trump, mocks DeSantis for wearing ‘high heels’ and leaves the door open for his OWN run for president in 2028

Donald Trump Jr. is helping set up a potential future fraud argument in the 2024 Iowa caucus by claiming that those expanding his father’s huge lead in the polls are really out to “suppress the vote.”

In a final bid to Iowa Republicans just hours before the caucuses on Monday, the ex-president’s eldest son and his fiancée Kimberly Guilfoyle delivered remarks to supporters in Ankney, Iowa.

Trump Jr., who served as the main surrogate for Trump’s campaign in Iowa, was asked by an audience member whether he would consider a presidential run in 2028 — a potential he did not completely rule out.

He took particular issue with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ 2024 bid, condemning his father’s rival for his choice of shoes and his loss of “billionaire donors.”

“I see exactly what’s happening right now,” Don Jr. said. to a room of Iowans at the Whiskey River restaurant in Ankeny, Iowa, just hours before the caucus started Monday.

“They are desperately trying to suppress the mood by saying we have it in the bag,” he said. “When you see these games, no matter what’s happened in the last 48 hours… There’s always going to be something. There is always a schedule. And that also applies to our side.’

He continued, “Right now we understand it’s really the DC elite versus Trump. You see that in the Republicans involved, you see that in the billionaire donors who are disappearing from Ron DeSantis’ campaign because they realize he doesn’t have it.’

Polls released two nights before the NBC News/Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa caucus showed Trump walking away with 48 percent support.

Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley came in second with 20 percent — while DeSantis fell to third place with 16 percent.

But Trump and his eldest son now claim that those pushing that narrative of a predicted big victory are trying to suppress the ex-president’s supporters and encourage them not to gather Monday night.

The frigid temperatures, icy roads and rising negative 40-degree wind chill have resulted in speculation that Trump supporters might stay home because they think he has enough support to win without everyone showing up.

But Trump and his surrogates have urged his supporters not to give in to that thought process.

The former president told hundreds of people at a rally in Indianola, Iowa, on Sunday that they should come to the caucus even if it would endanger their lives and kill them.

“When you’re sick as a dog, you say, ‘Honey – even if you vote and then die, it’s worth it,’” Trump said.

Don Jr. told his supporters that critics are trying to suppress the vote by claiming his father is so far ahead in the polls, hoping his supporters won’t show up on Monday. Pictured: Donald Trump Jr. speaks to supporters after remarks in Ankeny, Iowa, just hours before the Iowa caucuses opened

At the event in Ankeny on Monday afternoon, Kimberly Guilfoyle said voters should “piggyback” people when necessary.

Don Jr. also took time from his father’s supporters’ undivided attention to attack Governor DeSantis over speculation that surfaced last year that he wore lifts in his cowboy boots to appear taller.

He also translated that into criticism of Haley, who served in his father’s administration and is now campaigning for second place after passing DeSantis in recent polls.

“Who thinks it’s acceptable for men to wear high heels while running for the Republican nomination? Everyone?’ the eldest Trump son asked, to which the crowd responded, “NO!”

“And the thing is, no one cares if he’s small. Nobody cares. No one cares if you’re small,” he continued. “You know what they care about, that you’re so insecure about it that you have to overcompensate.”

“That’s the kind of thing that gets us into wars, right? It’s that kind of uncertainty that pushes you to do things that are probably not good for the will of the people,” Don Jr. said. “And that’s what we’re seeing right now with so many RINOS in Washington, DC.”

“Nikki Haley, she’s never been in a war she didn’t want to be involved in. We would be involved in a war of thirty fronts.’

At the end of one of the final events of the Iowa caucuses, Don Jr. asked whether he has aspirations for the White House and whether he would make a bid in 2028.

While he didn’t seem excited about the prospects, he didn’t shoot it down head-on either.

“Oh God,” Trump Jr. said in response to the question, before turning to Guilgoyle to say, “Hey Princess, are you ready for this?”

“Let’s go to Iowa,” she replied from the back of the room.

“I don’t want to say no because then when you decide to do it, you’re like, ‘Oh my God, he’s a big liar,'” Don Jr. replied.

He then spoke about the difficulty of public life as an openly conservative, saying it would have been easier to remain a real estate developer in New York City if he was invited to “cool parties.”
