DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Donald Trump is predicting he will win Iowa’s Republican presidential caucuses in January. Trump tossed aside Sunday what he called advisers’ caution not to overstate expectations, even as he greeted his audience by naming a city in a neighboring state. When Trump took the stage he gave a hearty hello to a city more than 80 miles north, and over the South Dakota state line, stating: “Hello to a place where we’ve done very well, Sioux Falls. Thank you very much.” While Trump has for months attacked Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, the former president on Sunday stepped up criticism of former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, who has sparked new curiosity among Iowa Republicans and a bump in polls.
