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

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.

I personally want someone who is non-politically correct, angry, and has an axe to grind with all the right people.

Trump fits that bill.

All a Rolling Stone(d) pipe dream. Trump is hearing things but it is a moving van taking his things back to PA Ave.

There was one last week that popped up.

I expect we'll see more as the election gets closer.

“I don’t trust this source at ALL.”

They are all doing and saying anything they can to try to drive a wedge between Trump and DeSantis.

Won’t work. They know each other. They like each other. They respect each other.

Plus, DeSantis KNOWS Trump’s massive 2020 election victory was stolen, and I think DeSantis wants, as much as anyone, to see the epic bitch-slap that only Trump can deliver once he’s back in the White House.

Rolling Stones is not what I consider a source on anything positive about Trump. They are known for their blatant lies, especially in all things political.

This is for the weak at heart Trump supporters to swing their mushy allegiance to A kinder gentler RINO candidate.

Just the leftists at the Rolling Stone hoping to divide Republicans, not going to happen.

Back in the ‘80’s, Rolling Stone became a fashion magazine. The front half would have articles about women’s rights, and the back half would be classified ads, mostly for prostitution and pornography. That was how I started putting 2 and 2 together to realize that the Left’s interest in women’s equality was really only cover for an obsession with abortion.

Is Obama “spooked” or is that racist?

You didn’t just call DeSantis a RINO, did you? Please don’t fall for Rolling Stone’s gambit. They don’t care if you prefer Trump or DeSantis; they simply want division and chaos.

Why don’t they just do Trump-DeSantis 2024 and if they win, give DeSantis some real power instead of just maintaining the VP position as largely ceremonial? Then you have DeSantis in 2028 and 2032.

That is what I would do. DeSantis first job would be to clean up the FBI and DOJ.

That’s not a terrible idea, but let’s face it: Trump doesn’t share power. And I don’t blame him for that; it creates weakness.

FU Rolling Stoned.

It’s 2022.

DeSantis is running for Governor of Florida.

Trump is running his mouth.

Harris is running from her skank-’ho reputation.

Biden doesn’t know what the word “run” means.

And leftard communist media are trying to stir up trouble.
