Donald Trump muscled past his rivals to capture the first 2024 Republican presidential contest in Iowa on Monday.

As the former president once more asserted his dominance over the party, Trump’s new ad for his US presidential campaign claiming God created him to be the "caretaker" of the Americans has been released.

Posted on the social media platform Truth Social, the video shows Trump signing executive orders, interacting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, and walking onto Air Force One with his wife and former US First Lady Melania Trump.

"And on June 14th, 1946, God looked down on his planned paradise and said 'I need a caretaker', so God gave us Trump," the narrator said in the nearly three-minute video that also featured the 77-year-old leader's childhood picture.

"God said, I need somebody willing to get up before dawn, fix this country, work all day, fight the Marxists, eat supper, then go to the Oval Office, and stay past midnight at a meeting of the state, so God made Trump," the narrator added.

"God said, I need somebody who will be strong and courageous. Who will not be afraid or terrified of the wolves when they attack," the voiceover in the video said, adding, "A man who cares for the flock. A shepherd to mankind who won't ever leave or forsake them."

The video has received mixed reaction with one commenting: “God was obviously pranking us then!”. Another wrote: “God had an off day.”

Donald Trump secured a resounding victory in the first 2024 Republican presidential contest in Iowa on Monday, asserting his command over the party despite facing scores of criminal charges as he seeks a rematch with Democratic President Joe Biden.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, 45, finished well behind in second place, edging out former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, 51, as they battle to emerge as the chief alternative to Trump.
