"'@mygreenhippo #BenCarson is now leading in the #polls in #Iowa. Too much #Monsanto in the #corn creates issues in the brain? #Trump #GOP,'" Trump's retweet states.
Monsanto is a Missouri-based agricultural corporation that produces herbicides, among other agrochemicals.
"Is Trump going after Iowans now?" Des Moines Register chief politics reporter Jennifer Jacobs wrote on Twitter, linking to the tweet.
A few hours after the initial retweet, Trump removed it from his feed and tweeted, "the young intern who accidentally did a Retweet apologizes."
