Trump, campaign change tune on ‘fraud’ Ramaswamy
by Filip Timotija - 01/13/24 6:55 PM ET
Former President Trump and his campaign are changing their tune about fellow GOP candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, now calling him a “fraud” and claiming that a vote for the biotech entrepreneur will help the “other side.”
Trump wrote to his supporters in a TruthSocial post on Saturday that they should not support Ramaswamy because he is “not MAGA” and claimed he disguises his support for the former president “in the form of deceitful campaign tricks.”
“Vivek started his campaign as a great supporter, ‘the best President in generations,’ etc,” Trump said in a post on Friday. “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!!!”
Chris LaCivita, Trump’s senior campaign advisor, shared a similar sentiment about the “Woke Inc.” author when responding to Ramaswamy’s post where he is seen posing with six potential supporters who wore t-shirts with the slogan “Save Trump, Vote Vivek.”
