"I confess, I had so...

Newton (United States) (AFP) - Donald Trump hit the campaign trail Saturday in the first-in-the-nation presidential nominating state of Iowa, vowing to win "for the third time" as Americans marked the anniversary of the deadly assault on the US Capitol by a mob of his supporters.

In a rambling, two-hour speech Saturday to supporters in Newton, Iowa, Trump did not delve into...
