Republican presidential frontrunner Donald J. Trump has received the endorsement of former Congressman James Lightfoot. The former House Representative of Iowa is the latest in a series of elected officials, including Congressmen, Senators, State Representatives and other key members of the Republican Party to endorse Trump.
Lightfoot announced his endorsement in support of Donald J. Trump as the Republican candidate for the office of President of the United States because "Our party and its leadership have failed the country miserably over the past eight years. It seems that those in Washington, D.C. have thumbed their noses at the American people. It has to stop."
Donald Trump is the one person that can make it happen, according to LIghtfoot.
He added that Trump understands the feelings of millions of Americans that are fed up with business as usual in D.C. "He wants to stop the bloat and runaway spending. He wants to stop the flow of illegals into our country. He wants to bring this country back together and build us back to the greatest country on the globe."
Trump responded by saying he is proud to receive the endorsement of former Congressman Lightfoot. "I have tremendous respect for him and I greatly appreciate his support," he added.
