Veteran Eric Morris poses for a portrait in front of his 1970 US Army Deuce and a Half, temporarily parked on former mayor Jonathan Green’s front lawn in Lone Tree, Iowa. Morris said he attended Admiral Farragut Academy in New Jersey when President Trump attended New York Military Academy. “When I was a senior and he was a sophomore I assume––I don’t remember him––but I assume he never played on varsity as a sophomore, so I didn’t get a chance to actually knock him on his ass. But I wish I did.” Morris said many Lone Tree residents typically vote for republican candidates, but liberal voters in the rest of Johnson County, especially in Iowa City, overpower them.
