Trump escalates attacks on DeSantis with social media re-tweets posted by Democrats

You can’t teach an old dog new tricks. Donald Trump is starting his third run for president much as he did during the first run. He appears to be trashing any candidate that he sees as a potential threat to his nomination. Trump is the only Republican candidate who has announced his candidacy so far. Nikki Haley is expected to do so next week. In the meantime, Trump is focused on Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who hasn’t even said if he’ll run in the 2024 GOP presidential primary or not.

Right now, DeSantis is busy being governor. He was re-elected last November. That victory was one for the books. When DeSantis was asked about Trump’s criticism of the governor’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic last month, he pointed to the victory.

Probably just that Ron DeSantis has a lot of Republican supporters and is his biggest competition for the GOP presidential nomination in 2024.

wonder if it’s side effects from “safe and effective”...

i’ve noticed a change in behavior and loss of sense of humor in the shot sheep...

He knows more than we know about DeSantis.

Ah, baloney. If the Democrats couldn't find anything to torpedo DeSantis in the election held three months ago, there is nothing usable against DeSantis. And that's why Trump feels so threatened.

If Trump wins the GOP nomination, he's got my vote without question - his actions as president were overwhelmingly positive. But I want to know what his plan is to combat Democrat ballot harvesting in 2024. He couldn't overcome it in 2020, when he was the incumbent - why should I believe he can do it in 2024 against the incumbent?

At least DeSantis did not back Ronna McDaniel for the RNC chair, which tells me he realizes there is a problem with the way the GOP is failing to respond to Democrat ballot harvesting.

“As President Trump had access to a lot of information. He also gained a lot of contacts. And he has a lot of money. He knows more than we know about DeSantis.”

so how does that explain him puts so many people in the position of power then to have them stab him in the back. consistently

I Voted for trump in 16 and 20.

But I have a question. Say Trump wins the nomination, he runs against Biden again.

What is to keep the outcome from being any different? Either they rigged the election and it will be the same or the same low info voters and all the independents will likely vote the same way. Now that the Hunter Biden story is out and Russian collusion is gone it might be A tad closer.

Didn’t the midterms prove the average low info voter hasn’t suffered enough yet to open their eyes? Why not give Desantis a chance?

Someone said Desantis is a pedo eh? Has it even been proven that’s him in the photos?

There’s some serious concern whether DeSantis is a pedo “ groomer”.

No, there isn't. This is truly pathetic.

It is reported that this is the kind of attack that came from his Democrat challengers during his re-election campaign.

Letting Donald Trump use their opposition research is the least the Democrats can do to thank him for sending so many of them to Washington.

Because the rot and corruption in the Republican and Democrat parties are deeper than he anticipated.

There is no serious concern among normal people. He was having a beer with some ladies who look close in age. Good grief, is that all they could find on him?

Trump is looking desperate.

Why not give Desantis a chance?
——
What makes anyone think that the low life dems won’t rig the election against DeSantis? Or anyone else running on the R side. We love him here in Florida but there’s many blue and purple states too that wanna take our candidate out no matter who it is. If DeSantis abandons his position in Florida and loses that would be his end.
