Trump has ripped the band aide off Out tonight with a screaming statement blasting Ron DeSantis

“Ron came to me in desperate shape in 2017—he was politically dead, losing in a landslide… And now, Ron DeSanctimonious is playing games! The Fake News asks him if he’s going to run if President Trump runs, and he says, ‘I’m only focused on the Governor’s race, I’m not looking into the future.’ Well, in terms of loyalty and class, that’s really not the right answer.”

It's going to be like watching a bum fight, nobody will win and both will be hurt. I'm popping popcorn.

4. It's kind of weak criticism in the scheme of things.

“He was losing until I came along” isn’t really biting in any way.

It's more than just DeSantis, he is really, really pissed off at WSJ, New York Post, Fox, etc. He seems to claim he made them successes. "Success" being making the big bucks in TFG's "mind."

We all know it is the other way around.

It seems to me that it is reality, not scuttlebutt.

And it will end with Trump starting his own party and handing the entire country to Dems.

Wait till the other '24 contenders start piling on. DeathSantis surrounds himself with sycophants, including RW media, doesn't let other media in his press conferences and, as we saw, is a terrible debater.

I can't stand either of them and I'm going to love watching the GOP eat its own.

18. I don't see much of a fight here. I see DeSantis responding to Trump's

bullshit the same way he just stood there with a blank look on his face when Charlie Crist challenged him to say whether he would serve a full term if elected. Total nonresponse. He looked stupid, but people are now tired of Trump's act. When he tries it against DeSantis, and DeSantis doesn't respond, Trump winds up looking desperate and pathetic.

I think the real reason Trump is outraged about the election results is that he doesn't have the power to compel DeSantis to run with him as VP if he has to resort to that.
