The indictment against Trump, which was issued last month, accuses him of deliberately retaining classified documents and obstructing efforts to retrieve them. However, the 45th president has pleaded not guilty to all counts. Despite the charges against him, Trump noted that his poll numbers have been soaring.

“Every time I get a subpoena, you know, my polls go up. I get more and more subpoenas,” Trump told the crowd in Iowa. The president also suggested that the investigation is politically motivated, stating, “He’s killing Biden. He’s killing him. It’s what it is. These are crooked people. We’ve never had anything like this, the weaponization of the Department of Justice and the FBI.”
In a fiery speech, Trump emphatically dismissed the allegations against him, saying, “And it’s all bullshit, too. It’s all stuff. That’s why my polls go up. I’m the only person who has ever gotten indicted and become more popular because people understand it. They read it. They see it. It’s all contrived, horrible stuff.”
During his rally, Trump also took the opportunity to criticize President Joe Biden, whom he referred to as “Crooked” Joe Biden. He claimed that Biden has no knowledge of what is happening in the White House and pledged to evict him from office.
In a surprising twist, despite the indictments and ongoing investigation, Trump announced that he had raised over $35 million in the second fundraising quarter, doubling his first-quarter total. This significant financial support indicates that a majority of voters see the charges against Trump as politically motivated. It also demonstrates that Trump remains a dominant frontrunner in the Republican primary, and the legal challenges he faces have only served to strengthen his support base.
The Trump campaign reported that the average donation to his 2024 campaign had reached $34, showcasing the continued enthusiasm and financial backing for the former president’s political endeavors.
In conclusion, President Trump’s rally in Iowa provided him with a platform to condemn the investigation led by Special Counsel Jack Smith as a “witch hunt” and dismiss the allegations against him as baseless. Trump’s ability to maintain high poll numbers despite the ongoing controversy, as well as his impressive fundraising success, indicates that he remains a formidable force in the Republican Party and the race for the 2024 presidential election.
