President Trump delivered multiple warnings to supporters who attended his rally Thursday in Des Moines, Iowa, including telling them that if they don't vote for him in November, they will lose literally everything they love.

Trump spoke for 90 minutes, but he told the crowd he could have made his rally "really short. All I have to do is say, 'Uh, hello Iowa. You have no choice but to vote for me. Otherwise, everything you have loved in your entire life will be gone. Goodbye, Iowa. Have a good time.' Instead, I work my ass off up here, okay? True. You think this is easy?"
