Trump bashes DeSantis, claims he needs a ‘personality transplant’
The Hill ^ | 05/12/23 | Caroline Vakil

Former President Trump bashed Gov. Ron DeSantis in a new ad Friday, claiming the Florida Republican needs a “personality transplant.”

“The problem with Rondesanctimonious is that he needs a personality transplant, and those are not yet available. Almost all congressmen and women that served with him and knew him well supported me, some of them surprisingly so because of their relationship with Ron,” he said in the 40-second ad, using his preferred nickname for DeSantis.

Don’t challenge Trumpy unless you are expert at trash talk.

Who just lost a lawsuit because of his personality?

America was a prosperous country under Calvin Coolidge.

From Wikipedia:

Coolidge often seemed uncomfortable among fashionable Washington society; when asked why he continued to attend so many of their dinner parties, he replied, “Got to eat somewhere.” Alice Roosevelt Longworth, a leading Republican wit, underscored Coolidge’s silence and his dour personality: “When he wished he were elsewhere, he pursed his lips, folded his arms, and said nothing. He looked then precisely as though he had been weaned on a pickle.” Coolidge and his wife, Grace, who was a great baseball fan, once attended a Washington Senators game and sat through all nine innings without saying a word, except once when he asked her the time.

As president, Coolidge’s reputation as a quiet man continued. “The words of a President have an enormous weight,” he would later write, “and ought not to be used indiscriminately.” Coolidge was aware of his stiff reputation; indeed, he cultivated it. “I think the American people want a solemn ass as a President,” he once told Ethel Barrymore, “and I think I will go along with them.” Some historians suggest that Coolidge’s image was created deliberately as a campaign tactic, while others believe his withdrawn and quiet behavior to be natural, deepening after the death of his son in 1924. Dorothy Parker, upon learning that Coolidge had died, reportedly remarked, “How can they tell?”

more from Wikipedia:

As vice president, Coolidge and his vivacious wife Grace were invited to quite a few parties, where the legend of “Silent Cal” was born. It is from this time that most of the jokes and anecdotes involving Coolidge originate, such as Coolidge being “silent in five languages”. Although Coolidge was known to be a skilled and effective public speaker, in private he was a man of few words and was commonly referred to as “Silent Cal”. An apocryphal story has it that a person seated next to him at a dinner said to him, “I made a bet today that I could get more than two words out of you.” He replied, “You lose.” However, on April 22, 1924, Coolidge himself said that the “You lose” quotation never occurred. The story about it was related by Frank B. Noyes, President of the Associated Press, to their membership at their annual luncheon at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, when toasting and introducing Coolidge, who was the invited speaker. After the introduction and before his prepared remarks, Coolidge said to the membership, “Your President [referring to Noyes] has given you a perfect example of one of those rumors now current in Washington which is without any foundation.”

There is no way this can be proven. The woman is a lunatic and the left already had a verdict when the lawsuit was filed.

No way was Trump going to win in that venue and he knew it.

Can someone “in the know” explain the objective for Ron’s overseas visit and what was accomplished?

I prefer that Trump and DeSantis go after leftists instead of going after each other.

It's true. DeSantis has the charisma of a potted plant.

From Simple Wikipedia:

The Eleventh Commandment was a phrase used by President of the United States Ronald Reagan during his 1966 campaign for Governor of California. The Commandment reads:

Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican.

Why? Why does Trump insist on this junior high rhetoric?

All presidential wanna-be’s must have some international chops.

DeSantis is hoping these overseas trips will add to his gravitas.

“Can someone “in the know” explain the objective for Ron’s overseas visit and what was accomplished?”

Companies spend billions to plant names like “Crest” and “Charmin” in people’s minds.

Ron was planting the name “Florida” in leading minds globally.
