“The real DeSantis record is one of misery and despair,” Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung said in a statement. “He has left a wake of destruction all across Florida and people are hurting because he has spent more time playing public relations games instead of actually doing the hard-work needed to improve the lives of the people he represents.”

Trump on Sunday called DeSantis “disloyal” and said the governor’s stances on both Social Security and Medicare will lead to his political downfall.
“Social Security and Medicare, and Ron’s attack on both, have destroyed DeSanctimonious. His love affair with Jeb Bush and Karl Rove, certainly haven’t helped, but being a DISCIPLE of ‘Wheelchair over the Cliff’ Paul Ryan, has been a disaster. Ron has lost his supporters and his support, and MAGA refuses to Endorse disloyal people,” Trump said on his Truth Social platform.

“That’s not Ron, is it? He would never do such a thing!” Trump sarcastically wrote on the post.

“They’re trying to rewrite history,” he added
