Former President Donald Trump dropped all pretenses regarding Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, telling supporters while he’s a nice guy he doesn’t represent the MAGA movement.

Trump unleashed on Vivek over the weekend just hours ahead of the Iowa Caucuses, accusing the former businessman of waging “deceitful campaign tricks” while pretending to support the former president.
Trump wrote on Truth Social:
“Vivek started his campaign as a great supporter, ‘the best President in generations,’ etc. Unfortunately, now all he does is disguise his support in the form of deceitful campaign tricks. Very sly, but a vote for Vivek is a vote for the “other side” — don’t get duped by this. Vote for “TRUMP,” don’t waste your vote! Vivek is not MAGA. The Biden Indictments against his Political Opponent will never be allowed in this Country, they are already beginning to fall! MAGA!!!
The 45th president followed up his initial criticisms with a full-throated ALL CAPS warning, strongly advising against voting for Ramaswamy as it would be considered “a wasted vote.”
A VOTE FOR VIVEK IS A WASTED VOTE. I LIKE VIVEK, BUT HE PLAYED IT TOO “CUTE” WITH US. CAUCUS TONIGHT, VOTE FOR DONALD J. TRUMP, BUILD UP THE NUMBERS!!! IN NOVEMBER, WE MUST TAKE OUR VERY TROUBLED NATION — A NATION IN DECLINE — BACK FROM CROOKED JOE BIDEN AND THE RADICAL LEFT DEMOCRATS AND THUGS WHO ARE DESTROYING IT. MAGA!!!
Until now, Trump had abstained from directly attacking Ramaswamy as he’d been hugely supportive of the former president throughout his Deep State prosecutions.
Trump may have been referencing footage circulating on social media showing Ramaswamy telling an Iowa Caucuses voter, “You want to save Trump, you vote for me.”

Ramaswamy on Monday issued a response to Trump’s comments saying while the President may be harshly critical, “You won’t hear me attacking him.”
“I’ve defended Trump at every step & respect him immensely. You won’t hear me attacking him,” Ramaswamy wrote on X. “I’m asking for your vote tonight because I believe it’s the right thing for our country. We cannot walk into the other side’s trap & watch the puppet masters quietly trot Nikki into power.”

However, Trump is taking no chances this week heading into the Iowa caucuses, where he’s hoping for a clean sweep against his GOP rivals, which would help solidify his status as the Republican nominee and would be a major blow to his opponents.
“Polls suggest Trump enters the day with a massive lead in Iowa as Haley and DeSantis duel for a distant second,” reports the Associated Press. “Entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson are also on the ballot, as is former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who suspended his campaign last week.”
The fresh attacks against Vivek come as many have theorized he could be selected as Trump’s VP or at least secure a spot in his Cabinet, however, Ramaswamy has repeatedly insisted he would not want to serve in a Trump White House.
