As an influential evangelical Iowan, Bob Vander Plaats experienced what it was like to be friends with Donald Trump. The New York billionaire invited Vander Plaats and his family to visit New York several times, refusing to allow them to pay to stay at one of his hotels and lavishing kindness.Then Vander Plaats — president of the Family Leader, which is opposed to abortion and gay marriage — decided to endorse Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) for president instead of Trump. On Tuesday, Trump skewered Vander Plaats on Twitter, calling him "phony" and "a bad guy." The attacks came as Trump announced that Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr. had endorsed him. Why doesn't phony @bobvanderplaats tell his followers all the times he asked for him and his family to stay at my hotels-didn't like paying — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 26, 2016 .@bobvanderplaats begged me to do an event while asking organizers for $100,000 for himself—a bad guy! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 26, 2016"It's Donald Trump exposed: He wants to be your friend when he thinks he can get something in return for that friendship," Vander Plaats said Tuesday in an interview. "In Iowa, we look at friendship as what we can do for our friends, not what our friends can do for us."Vander Plaats said he has seen others receive the same sort of 180-degree treatment from Trump. Trump once praised Fox News's Megyn Kelly but is now trying to have her removed as a moderator for the upcoming GOP debate because he believes she asks unfair questions. The entire Republican establishment was once slammed by Trump but now appears to be in his good graces.
What a pindictive vrick.
What a Trumphole.
Trump is about to announce a major endorsement by reverend Jerry Falwell Jr. Let's see how quickly Trump detractors here abandon Falwell.
You can't abandon what you never had...
This is a huge endorsement for the upcoming Iowa caucus.
