Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs traveled over the weekend to join former President Donald Trump for a rally in Indianola, Iowa one day before the state caucus.

During the rally, Trump reminisced on Jacobs’ history as a WWE wrestler and noted his success as the mayor of Knox County, hinting at possible success if he launched a gubernatorial campaign.
“He’s done a fantastic job as mayor [in] Tennessee and I don’t know, I have thoughts that maybe you’re going to run for governor of Tennessee sometime because you have done a great job and you’re very popular,” Trump said.
Jacobs endorsed Trump on November 17, writing in an opinion piece for Human Events, “Our nation is at an inflection point. If we continue the path we are currently on, America—the greatest country the world has ever seen—will continue to decline and, ultimately, be relegated to the dustbin of history. Among the candidates running for President, only one can reverse that trajectory. That one is Donald Trump.”
Iowa is currently facing negative temperatures following last week’s blizzard. A life-threatening wind chill warning has been issued by the National Weather Service and remains in effect until Tuesday.
“Arctic cold air has settled into the area with temperatures well below zero and accompanying wind chills as low as 40s below zero. This extreme Arctic air combined with breezy winds at times will continue to create dangerous conditions into Tuesday, with wind chill values as low as 45 below zero possible at times,” the National Weather Service warned.
Monday is expected to be the coldest caucus in Iowa’s history.
Despite the record-low temperatures, Trump told Sunday’s rally crowd, “Brave the weather and go out and save America.”

I disagree. Kane has been a good county mayor and through Citizens Free Press is a national leader of the America First and conservative agenda.
Glenn Jacobs, a weak politician (despite his physical size) who has abandon the principles he use to espouse.
