Former President Donald Trump recently visited a local Dairy Queen during a campaign stop in Iowa on Friday where he appeared shocked by the fast food restaurant’s menu while ordering his supporters a round of soft-served ice cream treats.
After a campaign rally in Council Bluffs, Iowa, the GOP presidential frontrunner and his Secret Service detail greeted supporters at a Dairy Queen. As Trump started giving his orders to the workers behind the counter he appeared confused by the name of the restaurant’s signature item.
Trump appeared perplexed by requests for a Blizzard — perhaps the most famous item on Dairy Queen’s menu — while engaging with employees at the counter. Trump was seemingly unaware of Dairy Queen’s well known soft-serve treat
“Everybody wants a Blizzard. What the hell is a Blizzard?” Trump asked, while throwing his hands in the air, prompting laughter from the crowd.
“Take care of the people, OK? Will you take care of ‘em for me, and we’ll do the Blizzard thing, alright?” he added.
The Blizzard, a soft serve ice cream treat blended with a variety of confections, has been a mainstay of the ice cream chain, which started offering them in 1985.
Trump was welcomed by his supporters with “U.S.A.” chants. Currently, the former president leads the Republican field in Iowa by 24 points, according to RealClearPolitics.
Trump then began handing out the treat to the MAGA audience as they shout, “Let’s go Brandon!” and “We love you!”
