Trump has boatloads of enemies already, so a few more from DeSantis supporters won't make much difference. But the ONLY people attacking DeSantis, are Trump and his supporters. Sure that might change, but it might not. Not in the same way Trump is attacked. A lot of people are just turned off by a big mouth braggadocios rich guy, independent of politics.
DeSantis will do exactly what his money men tell him to do - full stop. Not so with Trump.
Trump has his own set of big money donors, it's a fable that he doesn't. Almost all of his business money came from foreign banks too. He's hardly got clean hands in this regard. There's a strong case that's been made by some that Sheldon Adelseon, the dual Israeli citizen who was Trump's biggest donor, was behind Trump's decision to move their embassy, for example.
I’m afraid Ron is being bullied into running.
Could be. It certainly wouldn't be easy, to have to deal with being Governor, and take on Trump at the same time, and that's even assuming Trump supporters won't block that vote to allow him to do both in the Florida legislature.
I think he's playing it perfectly right for now. Be the bigger man above Trump's childish rants, continue to propose and implement a strong conservative agenda in his state, and see what pitfalls may await Trump over the next several months.
TDS runs deep in you.
There's a strong case that you are just plain perpetually ignorant, bEagle. Trump rejected RJC money to their faces at Adelson's AIPAC on Dec. 3, 2015. Meanwhile, Adelson had already met with Tedlim in November of 2014, and "hosted a lunch for Cruz later with about a dozen of some of the country's biggest Jewish donors".
On January 19, 2016, in an interview with The Brody File, future President Trump said “I am for that one hundred percent. We are for that 100%...” (after Brody noted the) move of the embassy to Jerusalem is a “tier-A issue for Evangelicals as it relates to support for Israel.”
Adelson at that point had not met with anyone the way he met with Cruz, and did not endorse future President Trump until he won the nomination in May of 2016.
It didn't have a damn thing to do with Adelson, it had to do with doing what was right! If you are any kind of Christian, Jerusalem is the capital of Israel: once, always, future!
President Trump, as is Stephen Miller's way, explained how the history of the recognition was long overdue, and not anything to do with a donor, and not anything to do with your dumb l0ser, auto-flaming, self-pwning Freeptard "opinion", bEagle:
"In 1995, Congress adopted the Jerusalem Embassy Act, urging the federal government to relocate the American embassy to Jerusalem and to recognize that that city — and so importantly — is Israel’s capital. This act passed Congress by an overwhelming bipartisan majority and was reaffirmed by a unanimous vote of the Senate only six months ago." -- President Donald J. Trump
