Trump is relentlessly attacking and name-calling DeSantis, and Trump is upset that DeSantis won’t defend him?

Nothing has happened yet- its all speculation.

I will withhold judgement until the you know what hits the fan and then lets see where DeSantis goes.

To be fair, we should give Gov. DeSantis until after “it” happens to make a statement.

Trump needs DeSantis to defend him? Is that DeSantis’s job? I don’t get it.

DeSantis doesn’t need to comment on speculation. He would if they try to enter Florida to arrest him. For sure. DeSantis does not typically do rapid real time media response. He’s measured and comes with the facts when he does respond.

You are seeing a secondary goal of democrats on Trump strategy

Divide and conquer

Although Desantis has a lot smaller percentage so probably won’t work as well as they hope

One (maybe the only) favorable thing to be said about the democrats is that they sure do circle the wagons around an embattled member better than does our side!

Actually that’s the smart thing to do. For one thing Trump’s base isn’t going to vote for him if Trump is running. So trying to woo them is just wasted effort. And also there’s nothing to say that wouldn’t be spun, in both directions, and turn into a nightmare of having to “correct” the spin. Best to leave your opponent’s legal troubles alone. Go be governor. Do campaign stuff. Worry about your own stuff. Let your opponent sink or swim on his own.

"Trump is upset that DeSantis won’t defend him?"

Whether it's Trump or J6, it's not about the individuals specifically, it's about the constitutionality of their treatment.

On that alone, DeSantis better step up soon, or he will quickly become irrelevant.

If DeSantis thinks that this criminal cabal going after Trump will not go after him after they kill Trump, he is crazy. DeSantis has one way to presidency, that is to use Trump as a blocker.

Trump shouldn’t have burnt that bridge so fast after all, huh.

What should DeSantis say?

I don’t understand where this is his problem at all. And he doesn’t control the judiciary in FL.

It’s best for him to keep his mouth shut until something happens.

I dislike it when people supposedly on our side try to create conflict where there isn’t any.

Trump is trying to get attention again. Perhaps DeSantis is smart to wait to see if this is even true. God knows we’ve seen this song and dance from Trump before. He loves to exaggerate maybe DeSantis is sick of the crap.

DeSantis has an official role to play in all this as Governor of Florida since Trump's living here, that's why he's not saying anything.

As Governor he's in the position of deciding whether or not to allow Trump's arrest and extradition to New York in this obviously politically motivated charade. In my opinion if New York does try to arrest Trump then DeSantis has no other option than to refuse to allow Trump to be extradited, to do otherwise would to be allow this farce of the rule of law to continue and it would make him appear weak. Republican voters would remember that he was the one would could have stopped this BS but didn't. Trump has been bashing him lately and I'm sure the easy thing to do would be to let New York take him but it's not the RIGHT thing to do, and DeSantis is in a bit of a tight spot here.

DeSantis's political future depends upon him getting things right if and when this rouge DA comes after Trump. Now is not the time for DeSantis to be popping off at the mouth.

Desantis is an opportunistic little prick. I hope he NEVER sees the 4th floor of the WH.
