Interesting tweet and I've seen Trump going after DeSantis and was just wondering what Freepers thought of this?

I'm not sure it's a good idea....

A better question would be:

What do you think about Ron DeSantis Supporters who routinely twist the truth to bash and smear President Trump's record?

DO NOT LIKE

Plenty of bad guys. and bad things. That should be worth his attention.
How about nuc war or recession or covid corruption and excess deaths

I think these personal attacks show a weak man.

I think it sucks. Cruz bashing Trump for the Chicago rally riot is what turned me off him. Reagan always said not to speak ill of fellow republicans. Trump better knock that trash talk off yesterday!

Trump went after Jeb Bush and Yeb has never recovered..
Does DeSantis really want to jump in? Or Does he want to wait until 2028?
Time will tell.

It’s weird, and I must confess I don’t understand it.

Maybe when 2024 rolls around it will make more sense.

“I’m sure that will be a winning strategy.”

Trump’s strategy of “getting personal” has worked pretty well against every other political opponent he’s faced so far.

He needs to be fought more than the Democrats.

I don’t like it but Trump sees DeSantis as an adversary in the upcoming campaign. To get the nomination his biggest threat would be DeSantis.Trump knows you have to stay on offense. We may not like it but Trump wants to be President and Ron may be his first obstacle.

Well, there’s the old Reagan rule, which I would apply to this situation, but I find it difficult to apply to everyone that has an R next to their names, since I don’t believe they are really Republicans. Mike Hogan and Nikki Haley come to mind since they are both about to run for president.

Let them fight it out. That's politics.

Don't be stupid enough to respond to the leftists baiting the supporters on each side. At the end of the day, conservatives need to unite around one of these two once a winner is decided.

Its all part of the game. Notice he told N.H. to go for it (easy on the gal, tough with the guy(s)).

I sure wish Trump would cease and desist. Trump and DeSantis are on the same side! Mr. Trump’s unwarranted and ever-increasing attacks on a fellow Republican whose actions as Florida’s governor have indisputably proven his conservative bona-fides only makes Donald Trump look small.

Trump won in 2020 and it was stolen from him. He deserves a do-over and should win in 2024. I expect DeSantis to step back and make it clear that he wants Trump to win the presidency (again) in 2024. But, if DeSantis wants to get in the ring, he should expect to be punched.

Trump needs to take out all the Republicans, so Democrats have no opposition.

It’s stupid, but to Trump, it’s all about Trump and he believes this will help him.

If he’s better, he’s got to prove it. Other people are coming into the race now, too, and he’s got to prove that he’s better than them as well.

Apologizing for the shutdown and the vaccine (which weren’t his ideas, but he was stampeded into them and has never admitted that) would be a start. Also, a little more support for the J6 people, who turned out to support him and then things went sideways, would be welcome.

Had the President turned the same critical and caustic eye to those he placed around him, and chosen others to wield the levers of power, we might not be enduring the endless shit show that passes for Current Events. I’m thinking Pence, Kelly, Priebus, etc.

He could be right about DeSantis, I have no idea and know him only from the headlines, his times at the podium and his actions as Governor. Actions speak loudly and I like what I hear, but do want to know more about him. That’s what Primaries are for.

I’m fine with it. DeSantis continues to hide, so, run with it President Trump!
