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’ve noticed this also.....Says a lot...
“Party, usually wins big. 40 year Inflation and we can’t win big is a devastating result.”

Thanks for validating my statement:
“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.”
And got Trump out of the picture. Trump is just going scorched earth and saying “F this S, I’m out of here!”
In Nevada, Laxalt is as “establishment” as you get. And a lot of folks here seem to be forgetting how fouled up Arizona has been for several election cycles. Remember — AZ is the state where establishment hack Martha McSally had the embarrassing distinction of losing two consecutive Senate elections in the same state (in 2018 and 2020).
He did the same in 2016. I was never a fan of the "Lying Ted" rants, but Trump still easily won the general election in TX.
LOL!
I enjoyed his no-holds-barred attacks as much as anyone, but now he’s turning on his fellow Republicans with his windy boasts and vulgar insults. And frankly some of his barbs go too far. Yes, Rosie O’Donnell is a “fat ugly pig,” but it’s downright unseemly for a president or presidential candidate to say so publicly, however much we enjoy hearing it. This is why so many supporters are wondering if he hasn’t jumped the shark. It’s a damned shame too. Just think what he could have accomplished — and continue to accomplish — if he could only control himself. Again, a lot like Alex Jones.
This will all blow over quickly, even quicker if DeSantis doesn't run. This is much ado about nothing.
Goodbye lover. Ask McConnell for a job. I’m sure his office will give you some nice greetings.
Except that what we are seeing in public, is Trump’s comments, without the context that we might see if he’s really responding to private communications with Youngkin and DeSantis.
Exactly! 👍
I don’t see Trump coming back from it now. Even if he didn’t go off on DeSantis, the GOPe made it clear that they will do anything to stop Trump, they won.
Best thing now going forward is for DeSantis to work as Governor of Florida to change the National GOP into his image. Can’t do that if he runs in 2024.
Forget 2024, it’s lost. Even if the Republicans win, it would be with someone like Liz Cheney.
I’m betting it’s McConnell behind the scenes.

“Sloppy Steve” Bannon remains one of President Trump’s staunchest supporters. Stay focused.
Okay, you thought it was appropriate to ignore the question. I think the opposite.
The the rules don't stop DeSantis from speaking on that issue at any point during the debate, before the debate or following the debate.
It's certainly DeSantis' right to say anything on the matter.
And it certainly Trump's right to respond to some of the worse RINO's pushing DeSantis while DeSantis stays quiet.
That's fine.
But I wasn't making that argument as an individual point. My point involved using the full context.
Don’t be a defeatist. If you’re going to go down, go down fighting. President Trump is the best fighter on the political landscape.
Trump is trying to lose my support more than I am trying to be unsupportive of him.
Yikes! *corrections*

Remember Low Energy Jeb and Lying Ted? This is not new, it's Trump's m.o.
