On Thursday, Trump posted a lengthy message on Truth Social, nicknaming DeSantis “DeSanctimonious.” He diminished DeSantis’ handling of Covid and insisted that he is responsible for the Republican governor’s success. Trump said,
“Now that the midterms are over, and a success…
NewsCorp, which is Fox, the Wall Street Journal, and the no longer great New York Post (bring back Col!), is all in for Governor Ron DeSanctimonious, an average REPUBLICAN Governor with great Public Relations, who didn’t have to close up his State, but did, unlike other Republican Governors, whose overall numbers for a Republican, were just average – middle of the pack – including COVID, and who has the advantage of SUNSHINE, where people from badly run States up North would go no matter who the Governor was, just like I did!
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. I didn’t know Adam so I said, “Let’s give it a shot, Ron.” When I Endorsed him it was as though, to use a bad term, a nuclear weapon went off. Years later, they were the exact words that Adam Putnam used in describing Ron’s Endorsement. He said, “I went from having it made, with no competition, to immediately getting absolutely clobbered after your Endorsement.” I then got Ron by the “Star” of the Democrat Party, Andrew Gillum (who was later revealed to be a “Crack Head”), by having two massive Rallies with tens fo thousands of people at each one.
I also fixed his campaign, which had completely fallen apart. I was all in for Ron, and he beat Gillum, but after the Race, when votes were being stolen by the corrupt Election process in Broward County, and Ron was going down ten thousand votes a day, along with now-Senator Rick Scott, I sent in the FBI and the U.S. Attorneys, and the ballot theft immediately ended, jus prior to them running out of the votes necessary to win. I stopped his Election from being stolen. 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…
This is just like 2015 and 2016, a Media Assault (Colusion!), when Fox News fought me to the end until I won, and then they couldn’t have been nicer or more supportive. The Wall Street Journal loved Low Energy Jeb Bush, and a succession of other people as they rapidly disappeared from sight, finally falling in line with me after I easily knocked them out, one by one. We’re in exactly the same position now. They will keep coming after us, MAGA, but ultimately, we will win. Put America First and, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
On Friday morning, Trump posted about Youngkin, pointing out how much he helped the Virginia governor win the election, and how Youngkin “couldn’t have come close to winning” without his help.
“Young Kin (now that’s an interesting take. Sounds Chinese, doesn’t it?) in Virginia couldn’t have won without me. I Endorsed him, did a very big Trump Rally for him telephonically, got MAGA to Vote for him – or he couldn’t have come close to winning. But he knows that, and admits it. Besides, having a hard time with the Dems in Virginia – But he’ll get it done!”
The presidential repub primary has already begun behind the scenes for the donor class, consultants and political class. Money and names are being thrown around including DeSantis and Youngkin. McCarthy’s and Paul Ryan’s top two picks to replace Trump. Trump sees and hears these things so he’s in primary mode and we all remember from 2016 what that’s like.
Weigh the good against the bad and you’ll find Trump comes out way ahead on the good side.
America is on the brink of extinction and all these self-righteous b#llsh#ters can do is emphasize Trump’s alleged flaws instead of doing whatever it takes to help Restore America’s Free Constitutional Republic (AKA “MAGA”).
Dang man it feels like, “DOG PILE ON TRUMP!”.
I don’t know why Trump said those things. Maybe he was pissed. Do you, Amber Crawford of 100% Fed Up, ever get pissed and lash out. I’m sure you don’t. I’m sure you’re as pure as the driven snow there Amber Crawford. Easy to point fingers.
Nobody’s perfect. We’ve got a guy who has for six years been under full frontal attack from the Left and many so-called conservatives from day one because he’s trying to do just that: Restore America’s Free Constitutional Republic. He’s taken the Left’s unrelating flame throwers and has no been thwarted. Not just the Left but also a lot of so-called “conservatives”. America first, not personalities first, remember???
Take the good and leave the rest.
“Trump is acting like a schoolyard bully. An insecure brat. We can do better.”

You sound like the snowflake Democrats.
“Why folks are so willing to dump on Donald so quickly is very weird to me..”
Those Trump dumpers were never Trumpers.... just part of the Trump haters who were the first to say... they got him this time...RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA. Divide the Trump base and conquer the republican party. and of course all of our national elections and primary election are true and honest.
Probably a distraction for the Left(?)
“… As far as I remember, he only disses folks as a RETORT. That’s his usual m.o.”
******************************************************************
To what action or words by DeSantis is Trump retorting? We really need to stop the GRATUITOUS attacks; they’re counterproductive.
You’ll get biden re-elected is what you’ll get.
Im done with people who are done before the the truth is revealed.
Ok. Fair enough. Now where are the wins? Where did trump campaign that resulted from a win? Oops! Rubio is one. Ohio senate another. Deep red states with popular governors. Any others?
Everything you see going on today should be viewed in this context.
Trump is just channeling his inner Dale Carnegie by making friends and influencing people. (Sarcasm added)
There are more rats, moles, and trolls on FR than ever before. Even some of the old timers here probably still have Cheney and Bolton posters hanging in their showers.
But that's not an excuse. If the provocations are private, then make the responses private. Or if he's mad at what the Post or WSJ are saying, then go after the Post or WSJ. But if he launches those kind of public attacks directly against guys like DeSantis and Youngkin, the blowback from is not only predictable, but well-earned.
“Why folks are so willing to dump on Donald so quickly is very weird to me..”
It’s from hearing his own words, unfiltered in the past few days.
Engaging with the McConnell/McCarthy/Ryan wing of the party in plans to run against him? Endorsing O'Dea after he attacked President Trump?
DeSantis’ biggest backer is hedge fund guy Ken Griffin, who is not a conservative and doesn’t seem to be a Republican. He wrote a $500,000 check to Biden’s 2020 inaugural committee.
Note tha he did not attack Rubio
Trump jumped the shark when he threw shade on two of our winners. A stupid and unnecessary act. It feeds into everything his critics say about him. It makes him like an ungracious bully, especially to women. I would vote for him over all of them but he has sabotaged his chances with the women vote so he cannot win a national election IMHO.
He has no path to 270 now. Just blew up his bridge..
