Trump lashes out at DeSantis over Piers Morgan interview
The Hill ^ | 03/22/2023 | JULIA MUELLER

Posted on 03/22/2023 12:42:14 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Former President Trump on Wednesday took a swing at Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) after the Florida governor knocked him in an interview with Fox News’s Piers Morgan, another clash between the two GOP figures as they prepare for what could be a 2024 presidential primary match-up.

In an interview set to air on Fox Nation’s “Piers Morgan Uncensored” Thursday and published in part by The New York Post, DeSantis shifted from his previously veiled stance to more directly addressing the former president’s attacks with jabs of his own toward Trump’s character and leadership.

Trump, who is facing a looming indictment in New York over a hush-money payment to the adult film star Stormy Daniels, took to Truth Social to respond to DeSantis.

No one told JFK that he needed to wait.

That’s what frosted LBJ’s cookies.

That’s why Dallas happened.

SWING STATE??

Westbrook you must not be aware that, according to the Free Republic Ron DeSantis Fan Club, Florida is a now full fledged Conservative hive of activity.

And DeSantis did it all by himself. The majority Republican legislature had nothing to do with it. Nor did all the Republican County Commissions, City councils, Sheriffs and police chiefs. It wasn’t the Republican AG or SecState. All of the aforementioned with the same agenda, had nothing to do with it.

DeSantis went down to the beach grabbed some sand, turned it into DeSantis dust and Presto!!!

Of course it had ZERO to do with the influx of 883,000 Republican voters fleeing Democrats states

DeSantis should endorse Trump for 2024. Then, he could count on the support of Trump’s vast legions in 2028, and 2032, as well as DJT himself. DeSantis is only 44 years old. He needs to wait.

Makes sense, he should aggressively campaign for Trump.

“If the trump camp would spend half the time they spend bashing DeSantis over his response to Trump’s indictment actually fighting the indictment and the forces pushing for it, maybe he wouldn’t be arrested.”

He’s fighting them the only way you can fight a corrupt judicial system - through the court of public opinion. What could Trump have done, legally, to prevent an out of control DA from bringing these bogus charges to a grand jury?

Peers Morgan sort of became a household name because of him being on Celebrity Apprentice. I thought they were both cordial towards each other after that season.

Why wait?

Not one of us knows how long we have left on earth.

The time is opportune for DeSantis.

Strike while the iron is hot!

Bull! DeSantis needed Trump’s help in Florida to win his first election, but he didn’t need Trump for the second. DeSantis returned Trump’s favor when he endorsed Trump in 2020. The playing field was leveled at that point.

All Trump has done since DeSantis first looked like he might run is hurl kindergarten level insults and make himself look like a first rate, class- A, gold-plated horse’s ass.

I supported Trump in the 2016 primaries, the 2016 election and the 2020 election. He lost me in the aftermath to the 2020 election where he made a series of atrocious personnel picks and decisions (Guiliani sweating hair dye, the “Kraken,”etc.) and turned the whole thing into a freakin’ clown show.

With Trump, loyalty goes one way. If he does a favor, the recipient must kiss his ass forever and ever. Adults don’t act that way. And DeSantis is an adult. Trump, however, needs to grow up.

Let’s see, given the fact that no one, absolutely NO ONE, can fight an indictment, your statement is….whatever.

100s of years of legal procedure shows that there is an investigation, prosecutor reviews the investigation, prosecutor agrees that a crime has been committed, prosecutor and investigator present evidence to a grand jury. There is no defense allowed at a grand jury.

But, since you seem to have figured out how to defeat that process, once you go public with the modification to criminal Justice machine, I’m sure you’ll make a lot of money teaching defense attorneys how to defeat the Grand Jury Indictment process. You’ll be a hero to criminals all over the country.

“Would you endorse a person for President who implied you were a pedophile repeatedly simply because some people speculated you might be a challenger in his reelection?”

Bears reposting.

DeSantis had better not endorse Trump, because too many of us are voting for him in 24.

Why on earth isn’t Trump striking out at the corrupt Biden Cartel?

Why is he silent on Biden’s deals with the CCP?

Where is his leadership?

Let’s see, DeSantis was gifted 883,000, NEW Republican voters. He won by a little over 400k.

Does that math mean that without the migration wave of retired cops, firemen, teachers, plumbers, etc from all states cold and Democrat run, that there was a chance he would have lost?

Leave Ron DeSantis alone!

Is this a joke?

Trump has had to endure historic endless daily attacks and threats 24/7 for nearly 8 years, from deep state, the lying media, Republicans, Democrats, foreign leaders, drug kingpins, he had his private home raided by corrupt government insiders and their hired guns and muscle. Those in government attempted to criminally undermine, compromise and overthrow Trump....

DeSantis would have been running for the tall grass in his first 3 months. Nobody but Trump could have ever endured or survived all this.

You don’t hear of any Democrats criticizing Biden. They present a unified front, at least until the primary season officially begins.

Not so with the Stupid Party. Republican leaders constantly snipe at each other. The Democrats must be very amused by all this.

*****************

Where was all this Republican unity talk back in 2016?

That was when a bunch of so called Republican leaders showed themselves to be “losers & suckers” by not supporting Trump at the Convention, in the General Election, or the Trump Presidency.

“The beatdown on these rascals from MAGA voters is just getting started.”

The picture was old. All of that was known.

Didn’t someone drop pictures of DeSantis, drinking with high school kids?

Furthermore, a person who is insinuating that you are homosexual, as Trump has done most recently?

These tactics are hitting below the belt.

Trump is behaving like some punch drunk thug.

Well, yeah, and just wait until Trump is finally broken down and by the wayside and DeSantis has his turn. It will be him being criticized then.

You very much would like to see Trump "broken down and by the wayside", dware? Perhaps behind bars? Perhaps unconstitutionally made ineligible? Maybe you would like to see him become a nonperson, which is what Murdoch wants?

Wow, can't wait for that. Just we wait.

Speculated? That horse has already left the barn. But I suppose the new line will be, “What choice did DeSantis have, but to run, after the way Trump treated him?”
