Iowa Firefighters Get Surprise Visitor During Bone-Chilling -10 Degree Freeze, And They Love What He’s Carrying

As if battling blazes isn’t difficult enough, firefighters across Iowa contended with blistering cold temperatures in the last few days, transforming their typically dangerous jobs into extremely treacherous ones.

This from westernjournal.com.

With temperatures in the minus tens and wind chills plunging to lower than -30 degrees, according to CNN, these firefighters were on call in potentially life-threatening conditions.

Piping hot pizza in these bone-chilling temperatures is always welcome, but when it comes with the added bonus of being delivered by the former president of the United States, it must surely have been a treat of a lifetime.

According to Just The News:

On Sunday, President Trump personally delivered a stack of pizzas purchased from Casey’s General Store to the Waukee Fire Department in metropolitan Des Moines, Iowa.

The former president joked with the firefighters as he handed over the pizza, quipping, “Look at the arms on that guy!” as a burly fireman reached out to take the pizzas.

According to Fire Rescue 1:

Trump then ate a slice of pizza with the firemen, remarking, “This is good pizza, by the way,” as he ate and chatted with them.

Moments like this are not uncommon when the president is on the campaign trail.

The image of the president handing out Blizzards at a packed Dairy Queen had more impact on his image than any media-staged visit.

Turning Point CEO Charlie Kirk summed it up in an X post, writing:

Trump 2.0 hands out pizzas to Iowa voters … Trump 2.0 is Trump at a pub. Trump at a Dairy Queen.

Trump 2.0 is ignoring a canned, media-dominated GOP debate to visit striking auto workers in Michigan …

No one can match Trump at retail politics.

According to Axios:

Trump dominated in Iowa, winning 98 of the 99 counties and crushing almost every demographic.

The key to Trump’s decisive win was consolidating support from conservatives and evangelicals who previously backed Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas.

Trump won over about 70 percent of Cruz’s 2016 supporters, dominating in rural northwestern and central Iowa.

According to The Washington Post:

He also retained over 90 percent of his own 2016 Iowa supporters.

The ability of a man who lived his life hobnobbing with New York elites to connect with rural voters is part of what makes Trump so popular among conservatives and difficult to beat despite his opponent’s best efforts.

As Charlie Kirk put it:

Often imitated, never duplicated.
