Daily caller ^ | Harold Hutchison

Former President Donald Trump criticized Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida Thursday in a statement posted on Truth Social, calling him an “average” governor who was “politically dead” and in “desperate shape” before Trump endorsed him in 2017.

“Ron came to me in desperate shape in 2017—he was politically dead, losing in a landslide to a very good Agriculture Commissioner, Adam Putnam, who was loaded up with cash and great poll numbers. Ron had low approval, bad polls, and no money, but he said that if I would Endorse him, he could win,” Trump said in the statement.

DeSantis defeated Adam Putman, the Republican Agriculture Commissioner, in the 2018 Republican primary for governor by 20%, according to Ballotpedia.

Wow.....who would have ever thought Trump would become more nauseating then Liz Cheney......this is surreal and bizarre to me. He’s going as crazy as Biden. This can’t be happening.

Best Governor in the nation, by far. And Trump knows it.

“Can someone check and see if this is McConnell and Paul behind this crap.”

How can McConnell etc. be “behind this crap” if it’s what Trump is saying?

Don’t disparage the Great Donald. He can prove Ron stole his strawberries through geometric logic.

Trump is just exhibiting his true self. Trump is being Trump — a jealous jerk.
