Taking Aim at DeSantis, Spooked Trump Considers Launching 2024 Bid in Florida
Rolling Stone ^ | Asawin Suebsaeng

Posted on 06/13/2022 9:55:35 AM PDT by Oak007

Donald Trump in recent months has been telling confidants that he may launch his 2024 presidential campaign early — and that he’s considering launching it in Florida to stick it to Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Trump has kicked around staging a large, flashy launch rally (with fireworks, of course) that would announce his White House bid before the 2022 midterm elections, according to three sources familiar with the matter.

People who’ve spoken to Trump say that one reason he’s eying the Sunshine State is to assert his dominance over an ascendant DeSantis, who — if they both run in 2024 — would likely be the former president’s most formidable competitor in a primary fight for the GOP nomination. One of the sources said Trump’s motivation is to show the governor “who the boss is” in the modern-day GOP.

Trump is hearing foot steps. Looks like he wants to go into attack mode. Not sure that approach will work with DeSantis, the way it did in the 2016 primary.

I don't trust this source at ALL.

But I have also heard that Mar-a-lago is going to be campaign HQ for 2024 so it makes sense that Trump would announce there. He does live in FL, after all.

I agree with you. This liberal source is trying to set a fight between Trump and DeSantus. I don’t think these two great men will let that happen.

I like DeSantis but I don’t think he has the level of business/economic experience Trump has or his negotiating prowess. The next president will have a huge domestic and international mess on his hands. Its going to take those types of skills/chops to lead us out of Biden’s mess. JMHO

I don't believe Trump or anyone close to him is sharing this type of information with Rolling Stone.

Some 'neverTrumper' is making it up because that's what the little liars do... and Rolling Stone lacking old style journalism ethics runs with the new 'unnamed confidants' crap.

It's no wonder citizens trust 'used car salesmen' more than members of 'the press'...

Rolling Stone used to be semi-readable when they stuck to stories about drugged and sexed out rockers, but their attempt to be a “hip” version of the Atlantic isn’t working.

I wish the FR trolls would quit trying to instigate this fake rivalry between Trump and DeSantis. They are not rivals.
