Former President Trump encouraged his Iowa supporters to caucus for him at any cost, joking that due to extreme winter weather, “even if you vote and then pass away, it’s worth it.”

Meteorologists warned of “life-threatening” conditions in Iowa for the weekend as the state prepares to caucus. Trump canceled three of his four in-person Iowa events Sunday due to the freezing cold and snow.

Windchill is projected to be as low as -40 degrees in parts of the state Monday, with temperatures also in the negative. The Hawkeye State is also recovering from a blizzard that rocked the region Friday and Saturday, icing roads.

“You can’t sit home. If you’re sick as a dog, you say, ‘Darling, I gotta make it,’” Trump said at an Indianola rally on Sunday. “Even if you vote and then pass away, it’s worth it, remember.”

    The fucking idiots refuse to recognize the contempt he shows for them. What a waste of biomass.

      Fucking seriously… This piece of shit cancelled events because of the weather, but says “remember even if you die in the proces you really need to do me a favor. Oh, hold on, ha… Ha. Ha? There I laughed, now I can say it was just a joke, but seriously fuck you and go vote for me.”
