Former President Donald Trump s campaign returns to its roots by attacking U.S. veterans .

One day after Sen. Jeff Reichman (R-Iowa) withdrew his support in favor of Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.), the Iraq War veteran who served in the U.S. Marine Corps for 29 years was impugned by Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung in a statement.

Cheung, who formerly worked in communications for the UFC and Trumps previous two campaigns, told Politico on Friday , There is no room for weak-kneed and lily-livered people on Team Trump. The campaign spokesman also accused DeSantis of buying Reichman off.

Trump has curated a staggering rsum of attacking any veterans he believes oppose him. He famously claimed late Sen. John McCain had done nothing to help the vets and was not a war hero for being captured and tortured in Vietnam .

Reichman, who endorsed Trump in May, was denounced for urging Iowa Republicans to stay neutral in the presidential race. His defection from the Trump campaign notably followed Trump slamming Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds (R) for not endorsing him in the primaries.

I opened up the Governor position for Kim Reynolds, & when she fell behind, I ENDORSED her, did big Rallies, & she won, Trump reportedly wrote Monday . Now, she wants to Remain NEUTRAL. I dont invite her to events! DeSanctus down 45 points!

Trump is notably skipping an invaluable forum in the first-voting state Friday.
