U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds said the world was less turbulent under President Donald Trump. That’s why voters will return him to the White House, the Naples Republican predicted.
“The world was actually at peace when President Trump was running the White House,” Donalds said.
Donalds appeared on Sunday Morning Futures, telling host Maria Bartiromo he felt confident Trump will win the Republican nomination for President and another term in the White House. He made the comments a day before the Iowa caucuses, the first delegate-awarding contest for the Republican nomination for President.
The comments about peace also come during a period of significant military conflict around the world. That notably includes an ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, and war in Israel after terrorist attacks by Hamas in October.
Polls show Trump dominating the field in Iowa. The Naples Republican, who endorsed the former President in April, told Fox Business audiences he has every confidence Trump will win the caucuses.
“At the end of the day, the voters of Iowa, just like the voters in every other state in the country, they want a return of Donald Trump,” Donalds said. “It’s very simple, Maria. He knows how to do the job. He knows how to get the country back on track. He did it once. He can do it again.”
Recent general election match-ups signal Trump would beat Biden if the election were held today.
“The people of Iowa remember how the country was running, how efficient it was, how our borders were secure,” Donalds said. “People in Iowa want to get back to that.”
Donalds endorsed Trump over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, as have most members of Florida’s congressional delegation.
Notably, Donalds is rumored to be on a short list of potential contenders as Trump’s running mate in 2024. He also has gained national prominence in the last year after two runs for Speaker of the House amid leadership turmoil in the Chamber. He has been part of budget negotiations representing the GOP’s conservative wing in the chamber.

A rising star in the Republican Party, and look you Demo cultists, he’s not an old white guy.

You mean the former drug dealer and bank fraudster Donalds?
Yeah, he sure has the background to be a rising star in the Repubican party if you look to his mentor and idol Trump.
Shameless to endorse him.

exactly…100% sleeper agent, backed by the ruling overlords (just look at MSM fawning over this fraud)…never takes a risk…votes straight conservative, but he’s a phony….this guy was a registered Dem until he infiltrated Tea Party in 2008…I’ve stood in a room and listened to him boast about raising his sons with identities as strong black men (his wife is white) and I knew I was just listening to another race-obsessed liberal–only this guy is a sleeper, wearing a mask. And you should see his sidekick, Larry W.! Whoa! Straight ghetto thug…

Byron Donalds is laughable. He’ll never win a National election.

Now if a Repub were to make that statement about a black politician, they would be labeled a racist. However it’s free game for Demos against people of color, females, etc who are Repubs. I would call Peter H a Robert Byrd Democrat.

Donald’s was a drug dealer and a bank fraudster that was able to get the record expunged. Who gives a shit if he’s black. He was found to be a crook.
Ask about his wife owning a private virtual schools and being an advisor in Mom’s for Liberty? We shoud wonder if that company is getting voucher money from the great state of Florida.

BD as state rep helped author the deal for funding private schools that his wife then opened….This is the black diet version of the Clintons….BD is a raging opportunist, nothing more. If he ends up VP. the rulers will take Trump down in first year and we’ll suffer badly.

I don’t remember one day of Trump’s presidency being peaceful! Everyday was chaos and hate and falsehoods and moves away from the rule of law!

Well we didn’t have war in Ukraine. We did not have the Houthi’s and others taking shots at US military installations. We had control of our Southern Border and a wall was under construction. Over 300k crossings in the month of December. Biden has ceded control of the Southern Border to the cartels.

Voters yearn for the good old days of freezer truck morgues, sick people all over the floor of the local library, high unemployment and disrespect for the U.S. all over the world? I don’t think so.

No political operative has done more to destroy DeSantis or any other radical right dictator she has supported than Christina Pushaw!
The GOP and DeSantis fail to vet vocal supporters and in Pushaw’s case Desantis’s press agent.

500,000 Americans felt piece as our Narcissist in Chief said the summer heat would kill the virus, drinking Clorox would rid the virus, and everything but an education and science were excuses for the largest PEACETIME massacre of Americans, more than any war!

Byron Donals must not remember the Afghanistan war, lol. What a Mo. Trump campaign-promised he would get us out of Afghanistan. He did not get out. Like he did not build that wall, lock her up, or do anything else he campaign-promised.
Trump did devise a terrible plan to get us out of Afghanistan, leaving his plan for his generals to execute later after Biden was in position to take the blame.
And that right there, setting a doodie trap for the next Prez, that’s a big ole’ tell that Mr Trump KNEW he was going to lose to Biden despite all the protestations prior and ever since the big L.
If Trump were still President, that withdrawal plan would have gone into the trash bin since it wasn’t even a real plan.
We would still be in a war in Afghanistan right this very minute if there had been a second Trump term.
