Trump Iowa endorsees list includes people who haven't endorsed him

The intrigue: Trump on Saturday rolled out his own slate of 150 endorsements from "elected and grassroots leaders" in Iowa — but at least three people on the list tell Axios they were not consulted and remain undecided.
Former GOP congressional candidate Gary Leffler told Axios that a reporter alerted him that his name was on Trump's list on Saturday — while he was attending DeSantis' event.
"I lean Trump, but I 100% believe that DeSantis is the future of the party for 2028," Leffler said, adding that he met with officials on both the Trump and DeSantis teams on Monday to discuss his support.
Laura Carlson, vice president of the Iowa Federation of Republican Women and founder of the club Republican Women of Central Iowa, was also surprised to see her name on the list — and told Axios she now wonders about the veracity of the other endorsements.
Another longtime GOP activist, who did not wish to be publicly named, told Axios that she was added to the list without a request from the Trump campaign, or any agreement from her.
The Trump campaign called a number of the people on the Iowa endorsement list after Axios reached out for comment.

So what's the problem here? And why does Trump need or want a former congressman's endorsement?

Because if Trump wants to be able to tout a big number like 150, he has to include several that are bullshite and others that no one cares about.

We’re any of them some of the 51 intelligence officers that signed off on the Russian collusion BS that was made up by Hillary, the DNC, the FBI and the CIA?
Just wondering if you checked any of that out or did you just post some bullshite that the media told you because if you believe the media you’re a fricking idiot!

I'm going to side with you here. It's silly of him to claim an endorsement if it's not a verified endorsement.
But then again, who the heck cares about a former congressman's endorsement?
Did the guy lose his last race and that's why he's a former congressman?

They definitely will charge him for election fraud over this. I'm sure they'll find 12 to convic5.

Former congressmen still have connections and infrastructure and clout.
De Santis is also racking up endorsements in NH, Iowa and Fl.

How many Iowa lists are out there for Trump?
Because the first list had "anonymous" activists that supposedly saw their name on the list, and didnt want it there. But wouldnt identify who they were, so no one could follow up their claims
