Donald Trump attacked Vivek Ramaswamy on Truth Social before the Iowa Caucuses, calling him a “fraud” and separating him from MAGA. Trump warned voters not to be misled by his erstwhile supporter Ramaswamy’s deceitful campaign techniques. Former Trump supporter Ramaswamy did not criticize the former president.
Vivek Stands Strong: Trump’s ‘Save Trump, Vote Vivek’ Critique Met with Graceful Resilience
Ramaswamy posted a photo of supporters wearing “Save Trump, Vote Vivek” shirts earlier that day. Republican strategist Chris LaCivita said Trump didn’t need “saving” and branded Ramaswamy’s effort a “fraud.”
Ramaswamy called Trump’s campaign advisors’ actions an “unfortunate move” on X. Despite getting “friendly fire,” Ramaswamy still respected Trump as the greatest of the 21st century and did not react.
Ramaswamy stressed his support for Trump during legal battles and his efforts to protect him, worried that the “system” might impede his return to the White House. He accused “billionaires” of funding Trump litigation while promoting Nikki Haley’s candidacy, alleging media manipulation to favor a Trump-Haley fight.

Ramaswamy, without naming names, said the media wanted a Trump-Haley two-horse contest to eliminate Trump before the 2024 election. Ramaswamy pledged loyalty to America First and called for cooperation to “save Trump and save the country.”
Ramaswamy allegedly stays in the contest to inherit Trump’s voter base if legal difficulties render Trump ineligible. Trump leads the polls with Ramaswamy trailing by a single digit. The January 15 Iowa Caucuses are important in this political drama.
As political tensions and strategic tactics rise, the emotional undertone reveals loyalty, ambition, and the desire to influence the MAGA movement.
