http://time.com/4185378/donald-trump-john-wayne-iowa/ Standing in front of a horse saddle, a fake desert background and a statue of John Wayne, Donald Trump accepted the endorsement of Wayneâs family before reporters in Iowa Tuesday morning. After Wayneâs daughter Aissa introduced Trump, he quipped, âJohn Wayne would be very proud of you right now, I think. Maybe he would say, âWhat are you doing?'â âThis is very important to me because of John and his whole legacy,â Trump said. âI met him one time and it made such an impression. When you talk about bigger than life, there arenât too many people bigger than life⦠Itâs an honor to be here, itâs a tremendous honor to have your support and endorsement.â âWhen you think about it John Wayne represented strength, he represented power, he represented what the people are looking [for] today because we have exactly the opposite of John Wayne right now in this country,â Trump continued. âAnd he represented real strength and an inner strength that you donât see very often, and thatâs why this endorsement it meant so much to me.â Trump is fresh off a very warm welcome from Liberty University on Monday, the largest Christian university in the world. He will receive another endorsement at a later event in Iowa today, but he was coy about who it will be coming from, except to say that it will be a âtremendous eventâ and people will be âvery impressed.â One reporter asked him if the endorsement will come from Sarah Palin, as some have speculated. Trump declined to answer except to say that he is a âfanâ of Palin. |
