A contentious video appears to show a Republican presidential candidate having a heated conversation with a supporter of Donald Trump.
The president’s recent harsh criticism of Ramaswamy on Truth Social is thought to have been primarily sparked by a viral video that has been making the rounds on social media.

Trump wrote in his article that he was appalled by Ramaswamy’s strategies and that the latter had changed from being a supporter to a political rival using “deceitful campaign tricks.”
“Vivek started his campaign as a great supporter, “the best President in generations,” etc. 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!!!”
A widely shared video of Ramaswamy interacting with a voter who voiced concerns about Trump’s and the country’s future ignited the issue.
Ramaswamy takes advantage of these worries and positions himself as the solution, claiming that supporting him would be equivalent to defending the previous president Donald Trump.
Voter: “They are scared of you, just they are just scared of Trump.”
Ramaswamy: “They are. They will stop at nothing. But we’re not going to let them get away with it. I’ve got fresh legs. I’m not wounded. They’re not going to let this man do it.”
As the conversation continues, Ramaswamy and the voter discuss the deep-seated fears for America’s future, with Ramaswamy positioning himself as the youthful, vibrant alternative reminiscent of the country’s founding fathers.
Voter: “We’re losing it. We’re losing it.”
Ramaswamy: “It pains me to hear that. … It’s 1776 moments. I want your support at that Iowa caucus. I’m emotional about this country. I need your support on Monday night. You do this. I’m going to do my part.
Voter: Okay. You’re picking at my shell. You are. But…
Vivek Ramaswamy: It’s about this country. It’s about this country. You want to save Trump; you vote for me. I’m telling you that. You vote for Trump; you’re sending him to his own demise… You’re falling into the trap that not only a country’s falling in, but he’s falling. You want to save Trump; you vote for me. I need your support for the Iowa caucus.
ALERT! Major Water Restrictions In Effect!
The voter confesses that they are sincerely contemplating the case after being profoundly impacted by Ramaswamy’s impassioned plea.

Vivek Ramaswamy posted on X in reaction to President Trump’s scathing assault on Truth Social:
Yes, I saw President Trump’s Truth Social post. It’s an unfortunate move by his campaign advisors, I don’t think friendly fire is helpful. Donald Trump was the greatest President of the 21st century, and I’m not going to criticize him in response to this late attack.
I’ve met tens of thousands of Iowans across 390+ events here, and they are deeply worried – and so am I – that this “system” won’t allow Donald J. Trump anywhere near the White House again. It seems they will stop at nothing to keep him away from power.
I’m worried for Trump. I’m worried for our country. I’ve stood up against the persecutions against Trump, and I’ve defended him at every step. I showed up at the Miami courthouse in solidarity following his first federal indictment. I filed a FOIA demand to the Biden DOJ. I submitted an amicus brief this week with the U.S. Supreme Court calling on them to overturn Colorado’s ruling. I pledged to remove myself from Maine’s & Colorado’s primary ballots if they remove Trump, calling on DeSantis and Haley to do the same.
But we have to open our eyes. Last time it was a man-made pandemic & Big Tech election interference. Now, the same billionaires funding the lawsuits against Trump are the ones trying to prop up Nikki Haley. The same MSM blasting Trump is lavishing praise on Nikki. They want to narrow this to a two-horse race between Trump & Haley, eliminate Trump (one way or other), & trot their puppet into the White House.
We can’t fall for that trap. 1 year from now, we won’t look back and say we were shocked that it happened. We’ll kick ourselves for not stopping it.
Our movement must live on. America-First didn’t start in 2016. It started in 1776. We owe it to our Founding Fathers to do the right thing for our country. I want to save Trump & to save this country. Let’s do it together. You won’t hear any friendly fire from me.
Dr. Ben Carson issued a warning to former President Donald Trump’s followers in Iowa on Saturday, cautioning them to “look out for dirty tricks” before the caucuses.
Carson fell prey to a “dirty trick” during his 2008 presidential campaign.
False campaign claims that the candidate withdrew before the Iowa Caucuses
Carson makes a strong case for voters to recall the incident in a video statement that was posted on Rumble on Friday.
“In 2016, when I ran for president and spent many days in Iowa, some folks played dirty tricks. You might remember a false message spread on Caucus day that I was dropping out of the presidential race — even though I wasn’t,” Carson explained.
Carson advised Trump backers to “stay vigilant and focused.”
“Be on the lookout for dirty tricks and be smarter than they are,” Carson implored Iowans.
