'This is no time for foot fetishes': DeSantis responds to jabs at shoes by suggesting Trump doesn't 'have the balls' to debate him, says he'll wear a boot on his head if he does
daily mail ^

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis continues to try and fight back against former President Donald Trump and beat allegations he wears lifts and high heels that masquerade as boots.

Trump and other opponents have put out conspiracy theories that the candidate uses lifts in his boots to look taller.

Speaking to Eric Bolling Thursday, DeSantis took on the claims again and tried to hit back at Trump for his lack of attendance at Republican Primary debates.

'This is no time for foot fetishes, we've got serious problems in the country,' DeSantis said, before explaining the myriad problems with the country under current President Joe Biden.

'I know Donald Trump and a lot of his people have been focusing on things like footwear. I'll tell you this: if Donald Trump can summon the balls to show up to debate, I'll wear a boot on my head!'

Trump has yet to respond to the offer, having most recently posted about DeSantis on Truth Social earlier today, joking that Fox News has 'given up' on the Florida governor and moved on to 'Birdbrain' Nikki Haley.

The former president has refused to show up at the first two GOP debates and shows no signs of attending Friday's third debate, having previously cited his lead in the polls.

Trump is at 43 percent among likely primary voters in new Des Moines Register poll.

He has amassed a 27-point lead over his closest rivals with, DeSantis at 16 per cent, as is former South Carolina Gov. Haley – although she arrived there after a 10-point gain from August.

It would be a simple matter to whip out a tape measure and prove the 5’11” public claim.

Can’t he take that unused Uniparty war chest home as a lovely parting gift? WTH, he just washed out a political career. He should get something for it.

Go ahead Ron, put that ugly boot on your head.

This guy is a sore loser.

But Trump could settle the manliness insult question.
“Excuse Me While I Whip This Out”
(a document showing Trump is 6 ft. 3).

Here I am taking questions from them Washington press corps. And let me tell you something. I wish DeSantis would quit stealing my ideas.

Too late. Maybe if you’d piped up with a funny quip to begin with, but too little too late. Besides, it wasn’t just Trump who piled on. Everybody has piled on.

Does this absolute buffoon not get that Trump is on a whole different political plateau?
None of these tactics JUST DOESN’T work on Trump.
His boorishness, the insults, the counter-punches...that’s why people love him! I’m so glad that Ron has pissed away his political future on this stupid run. 2028 would have been his for the taking and he threw it in the garbage.

It’s kinda true. Trump is afraid. Trump is now spending a million on attack ads but claims he doesn’t need to debate? I honestly don’t think Trump really wants the job. He wants the money. He won’t get it because RDS isn’t a quitter.

Trump doesn’t need money and is too arrogant to be afraid. That’s what I like about him. :). Florida still needs Desantis…I would 100% back him in a few years.

RDS wouldn’t be where he is if it wasn’t for Trump. He would have lost to a RAT homo coke head. That is why Trump jabs at DeSantis.

Trump didn’t even take a salary as POTUS. Ron is the guy who illegally moved the money from his State campaign fund to his POTUS race. He will be called out eventually for doing that.

I cannot believe that the man, De Santis, whom I admired so much, would evolve into the raving lunatic that said these things.

He, who I thought was brilliant, turns out to be a weak, whining, complainer that is far...FAR from admirable.

I was hoping for a future President De Santis and now I can only hope that he does not start damaging his ONE SUCCESS.

Take care of Florida, Ron, it is what you should have done in the first place.

I could cry.

Some have been trying their darndest to vilify Ron DeSantis.
Apparently, a Category 5 Shoe-Gate is the worst they can think to say about him so far. If the worst that can be said about Ron D. is that he stands accused of “Standing While Short!”, that’s not really so bad at all.
