Trump Promises American-Made ‘Giant Dome’ Over Country To ‘Protect Us From A Hostile Source’ At Iowa Rally: ‘Greatest Dome Ever’
Ex-president Donald Trump held multiple rallies in Iowa over the weekend as the caucus date approaches, and made many campaign promises such as solving the Ukraine war, saving the country from President Joe Biden, and when speaking in Newton, to “build a giant dome over our country to protect us from a hostile source.”
Speaking to the crowd gathered at the Newton, Iowa campus of the Des Moines Area Community College, Trump emphasized the importance of participating in the Iowa Caucus, stressing that he would take part and directing rallygoers to sources of information on how to vote in a caucus.
He repeatedly blasted rivals Gov. Ron DeSantis and former Ambassador Nikki Haley, calling them at one point “bought and paid for by the neocons and the warmongers and the corrupt Washington establishment, the military establishment, and they’ve seen a war they didn’t like.”
“We’re losing our blood and we’re losing our treasure all over the world,” said Trump. “We want to protect our country.”
It was at that point he turned to the subject of a “dome” system to protect against hostile missiles.
“And, you know, those domes are starting to work,” said Trump, referencing defense systems such as Israel’s notable “Iron Dome” and referring back to the “Star Wars” defense initiative proposed under legendary Cold War victor, Republican President Ronald Reagan in the 1980s.
“I didn’t like it when Ronald Reagan suggested it because we didn’t have the technology” said Trump. “We do have the technology now, and we’re going to build a giant dome over our country to protect us from a hostile source. And I think it’s a great thing, and it’s going to all be made in the United States. And that’s something that I consider productive.”
Trump then did a small performance complete with the “bing, bing, bing” sounds to liven up the quiet audience on the subject of a dome.
You know, when I watch, uh, our guys operate those things, it’s unbelievable. Missile coming in, missile coming in. These geniuses sit down. Most of them are, you know, they’re from MIT. But they sit down, bing bing bing bing, boom, ph-sheee. It’s gone. It’s amazing. I think we could use, do you like that? I mean, isn’t that better than giving other countries billions of dollars? Billions. We’re going to get billions of dollars out of the countries and so they can build a dome, but we don’t have a dome ourselves. We’re going to have the greatest dome ever.
He then turned back to DeSantis and Haley saying they want “to send your hard-earned money to bankroll endless conflict overseas.”
“Under my leadership we will turn the page forever on those foolish, stupid days of never-ending wars. They never ended,” said Trump.
