On Saturday, Trump flew via his private jet to Iowa for his final campaign in front of his 757 supporters in Dubuque. The billionaire then joked about the U.S. government paying too much for the new Air Force One, the Los Angeles Times reports.
Trump also invited children from the audience to come aboard the plane after the rally. He used the aircraft as a prop for his discussion about an Iran deal and Cruz's undisclosed loan to his Senate campaign in 2012 from Goldman Sachs, the report relays.
"When I fly on that big plane, I'm paying for it — I'm not having Goldman Sachs pay for it," said Trump.
Cruz, on the other hand, released a new TV ad in which he called Rubio "the Republican Obama." He described his rival as a supporter of cap-and-trade emission policies and amnesty for illegal U.S. settlers. The two issues are viewed as among the most important for GOP voters.
