Donald Trump told a crowd Thursday night in Iowa that “everybody” was sleeping at the Republican presidential debate that he blew off to hold his own event.
Trump had invited veterans who were part of a veteran suicide prevention organization onto the stage, including John Wayne Walding, who was injured in combat. They shared their experiences and gifted Trump a ring, which he kept on his finger.
“Isn’t that better than this debate that’s going on?” Trump then asked the crowd. “They’re all sleeping — everybody!”
