Donald Trump was on TRUTH Social just last month implying Ron DeSantis is a groomer pedophile, so I'm not sure how one can reasonably think DeSantis is obligated to speak up on Trump's behalf at this point. I know the world of politics differs from real life, but if it was me that someone was insinuating was a groomer, I wouldn't exactly be rushing to their defense on anything afterwards.

DeSantis was elevated above his station and his competence due to President Trump, then he near immediately abandons. A career politician whose only job was as a prep school teacher where he fraternized with students. Not a good look.

Saw that earlier (using Google Translate) in Izvestiya (iz.ru) and later on Komsomolskaya Pravda sites. Might be something to it.

I’ll bet DeSantis does speak up, because he’s a man of discipline and character. Maybe, like me, he’s seen too many bombshells that didn’t do off, nooses that didn’t really tighten, and walls that didn’t quite close in to be buffaloed into an early reaction

Yep. And it’s not DeSantis’s job to have to comment on everything Trump does.

Agreed that DeSantis owes Trump nothing but he owes us. Pence hates Trump but commented on the weaponization of gov.

All of the RINOS are silent because they are fine with the weaponizing of gov. DeSantis (if he wants MAGA outcomes) should be commenting on these and other national subjects often.

Too many are foregivong DeSantis because he is a great governor who is cultured and proper. If he wants to be president he is going to have to speak boldly and often. And most important……openly attack our enemies with fervor.

Trump did/does that often and it exposed many things we did not know.

Examples of verbal wars:
McCain
Bush
Cruz
Fake news
Witch hunts

Many cringed until they realized he was right. We still have 200 RINOS that backed McCarthy without opposition. 20 stood up and fought. We have enough ‘proper’ hand wringers who only speak when it benefits them. That isn’t winning.

“…not sure how one can reasonably think DeSantis is obligated to speak up on Trump’s behalf at this point…”

That opportunity for DeSantis is home. People make the mistaken assumption that Trump is hoping he can bad mouth DeSantis into supporting him

That’s not what’s happening

Likely, Trump asked DeSantis for his endorsement and DeSantis turned him down

In any case, trum is not looking for DeSantis endorsement.

There would be no “Governor DeSantis” if not for Trumps endorsement
when DeSantis first ran for Governor. He was almost beaten by a Black
Homo Drug user. Trump’s endorsement put him over the top.
DeSantis has done a good job as Governor in FLA. That’s where he should
stay for the moment.

Are you actually using ROLLING STONE as a source that Trump is accusing DeSantis as being a pedophile?

I wouldn't even use ROLLING STONE as a reliable source to obtain credible reviews on rock albums. They are such a propaganda tool of the Left.

If you are referring to the photo Trump re-Truthed of DeSantis appearing to "party" with high school girls, well that pretty weak gruel to make your point that Trump was trying to accuse DeSantis of being a "groomer pedophile."

Bad judgement? Perhaps. Perhaps not. Most red-blooded heterosexual men would not pass up an opportunity to be around beautiful women - who looked for the most part to be closer to 21 than 17. Most saw those photos as pretty harmless, including the girls that were in them.

I am glad Ron isn’t participating in the childish name calling. What a breath of fresh air.
