I will always be grateful for the presidency of Donald Trump and, if he is the GOP nominee for president in 2024, I will support him. But I am very disturbed that yesterday, at an airport rally in Pennsylvania, he attacked Ron DeSantis...with one of his derisive nicknames, except that this one doesn’t even make any sense:

President Reagan of blessed memory left us with a very useful 11th commandment: “Thou shalt not attack another Republican."
In today’s political environment, with the Democrat party in the hands of the radical left, and wrecking our economy, society and ability to defend ourselves, defeating them and taking control of the Oval Office and both houses of Congress (with substantial majorities) is more important than any individual’s political career. So, Reagan’s rule is even more important than when he enunciated it himself.
Notice that the crowd didn’t respond very forcefully to Trump’s insult. I suspect that most of them have at least some respect for what DeSantis has accomplished in Florida. He kept that state from fully engaging with the Covid lockdown madness that has so severely harmed us and our children. Perhaps Trump’s biggest failure in office was his inability to do what DeSantis did, which was to see through the tainted advice of “experts” like Dr. Fauci, and, instead, to stand up for common sense. Trump, to put it starkly, was duped and DeSantis was not.
That’s a hard truth that must rankle Trump and may account for some of his hostility toward Florida’s governor.

Trump did no such thing. He called DeSantis a by a humorous nickname. Trump has done that to many people who he likes.
That stinks.
Ron has said he wasnt going to run if Trump runs..Trump should knock it off. Yeah, I guess I am in the minority on this. No need to knock Desantis if he isnt an opponent.
RE: He called DeSantis a by a humorous nickname. Trump has done that to many people who he likes.
So “Ron DeSanctimonious” is a humorous nickname now?
Can Democrats use that nickname?
“Not tired of winning. @GovRonDeSantis you’ve proven conservative policies work. Florida is better for it. Vote for @GovRonDeSantis,” Pompeo tweeted Saturday evening.
The comment came as Trump held a rally in Latrobe, Pennsylvania on Saturday ahead of Tuesday’s Election Day. “
Trump carries the shivs of 90% of DC Republicans in his back. That 11th Commandment was made a joke out of in DC, 2016-2021
forgot the link
This was a breathtakingly bad move on Trump’s part. The best time to attack fellow Republicans is during primary season. The worst time is just before a general election.
Sure, no one is perfect. Nevertheless, I’m beginning to think that Trump has learned next to nothing from his time at the White House. That worries me.

JUST IN: Ron DeSantis’ team told Florida’s Voice that claims he met with Kevin McCarthy or Paul Ryan to plot a 2024 primary against Donald Trump are “completely false”
No sale.
You must have a very twisted and delusional sense of humor if you think what trump called him was humorous, or was intended to be so.
It was intended to be insulting and derogatory like most of his nicknames for his perceived adversaries.
Good try on the spin though.
Everyone can slam trump but he has to abide by all the rules.
MBSS out there now as we write, rallying for Rubio
Here’s one of ten things in a list Rubio said about trump:
“I don’t care if I have to get in my pickup truck and drive around the country like I did when I ran for the Senate,” Rubio said Feb. 28 on Fox News Sunday. “Donald Trump will never be the nominee of the party of Lincoln and Reagan.”
And Trump is campaigning for him
In florida
Rubio is understandably in trouble in Fla. he is needed for the majority.
Where is DeSantis? Could he campaign for Rubio?
In Fla.
Hmm.
They say DeSantis asked to be included. He needs a trump rally to campaign for Rubio?
So trump dissed him. He’s running for president. I mean DeSantis. If he’s not then he needs to tell the media he’s not. He Hasn’t done that.
i suspect it was a reaction to the rumor Ron was talking to Ryan and Mccarthy
“ Ron has said he wasnt going to run if Trump runs”
Meh knows Trump is running. That’s lame.
Trump having fun and low-IQ people without humor-detectors take offense.
What else is new?
This is has been beaten to death in here and has become both counterproductive and quite boring.

“Ron DeSanctimonious”: cool nickname for his friend, Ron. Lifson needs to walk around the block and find another problem to solve.
Cheap shot!
No reason for that, totally unnecessary.
That is my Governor and he has done nothing to warrant that.
“Trump carries the shivs of 90% of DC Republicans in his back. That 11th Commandment was made a joke out of in DC, 2016-2021”
They drag that rule out and dust it off as soon as trump tries to run.
So hypocritical
