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!”
I’m done with Trump. He is now just a bloviating blow hard.
What’s behind it? Don’t know, why don’t we ask Trump I stead of pundits what they THINK Trump is up to?
Did I miss something or did this article never really get around to explaining “what’s behind” Trump’s attacks?
Ego mostly, hates sharing the limelight..
He’s playing four-dimensional chess. Trust Trump’s plan! LOL.
Have we learned NOTHING since 2015???
Whenever the media says “Trump is BAD!…”. We are only getting a small portion of the real story.
Why folks are so willing to dump on Donald so quickly is very weird to me..
As far as I remember, he only disses folks as a RETORT. That’s his usual m.o.
Agree. Add me to the list.
He’s going to release the Kraken!
Trump is acting like a schoolyard bully. An insecure brat. We can do better.
Ever notice how failure takes long rambling explanations, but success doesn’t?
Is it legal for Trump to fix the Florida governor race? Gilliam has asked for an investigation. Why does trump get himself into these things?
“As far as I remember, he only disses folks as a RETORT. That’s his usual m.o.”
So, fill us in. Exactly what did DeSantis & Youngkin say about Trump that caused Trump to go ballistic? They must have launched some pretty heavy attacks on Trump.
We are not responding to what the media says. We are responding to what Trump himself is saying. We are really frustrated the Trump is attacking fellow Republicans. Why the heck is Trump attacking his political allies? What positive result comes from that?
We are not responding to the media spin on this story. We are responding to Trump’s own words and wonder why the heck is he saying this kind of stuff.
This last round with Youngkin took my last ounce of patience and acceptance. He didn’t share the money he got from donors. That says all. It was all about him all along, not winning for the party and country.
I didnt pay enough attention to DeSantis to know if what he is saying is true. If it is true, then clearly Trump wants adulation and recognition for his part in the rise of DeSantis.
You see that play out in relationships and can be a trigger for the downfall and divorce.
“give me my due you selfish SOB” type of thing.
The greatest, President Trump.
President Trump did more than just spend 16.4 million on candidates. He campaigned for them and did fundraisers for them which brought in millions also.
We had so much to run on this election, regarding the totalitarians during this pandemic, destroyed economy and retirement funds, WWIII proxy war, compromised and dysfunctional first family and a horrible VP, energy independence destroyed, vastly weak and woke military, corrupt DOJ, corrupt CIA, wide open borders, Afghanistan withdrawal debacle, CRT and Transgenderism forced in public schools and so much more.
What did the GOP run on? That’s a good question, eh! They didn’t. They threw this red wave under the bus and they colluded again with Democrats/RINOs to let them keep power.
Despite that, President Trump had a good election return on investment.
People trying to convince you otherwise are attempting to lie to you about who lost this election. It wasn’t President Trump, it was the GOP establishment in power doing every trick in the book to only elect more RINOs.
It’s a bit ironic that a lot of conservatives are now rejecting Trump due to mean tweets.
If Trump would help with elections besides his own, and have some wins. It would certainly help we’ve lost 18, 20, and now 22. we barely won 16. Yes, I know 20 was stolen, but after 70 lawsuits, including many presided with Trump judges, nothing has come of it.
