I didn’t see Trump’s remark to be an “attack” on De Santis, just a jab. I believe that jab was precipitated by De Santis endorsing Joe O’Dea in the senate race in Colorado. O’Dea has gone on record stating that he will do everything he can to prevent Trump from getting the nomination in 2024. Then there was the rather cringy ad saying “God made Ron”. One of De Santis’ biggest donors also opposes Trump and has been working with McCarthy and probably McConnell to bring the gop back to the Bush Glory Days.
Trump should have left this for private discussion between himself and De Santis. In politics there is always disagreements, and this should be seen as just another disagreement between two big names in the same party.
My hope is that De Santis rejects all those who seem to be using him to block Trumpism and return to Bushism.

Something to ponder. Who is more independent from the Mega Donors?
