Trump warns DeSantis against 2024 White House bid, saying it wouldn’t be ‘good’ for GOP
The Hill ^ | November 8, 2022 | BRETT SAMUELS

Posted on 11/09/2022 3:51:36 AM PST by Timber Rattler

Former President Trump in a new interview warned Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) against running for president in 2024.

“I don’t know if he is running. I think if he runs, he could hurt himself very badly. I really believe he could hurt himself badly,” Trump told Fox News in an interview late Monday after a rally in Ohio. “I think he would be making a mistake. I think the base would not like it. I don’t think it would be good for the party.”

“Any of that stuff is not good. You have other people that possibly will run, I guess,” Trump added. “I don’t know if he runs. If he runs, he runs.”

The former president also suggested he knew unflattering information about DeSantis that he’d be willing to share if the two were to face off in a primary.

“I would tell you things about him that won’t be very flattering — I know more about him than anybody — other than, perhaps, his wife,” Trump said.

Do not be surprised if the Dems back off now. They fear DeSantis more than Trump based on what happened yesterday.

America clearly and without question repudiated Donald Trump yesterday.

The Democrats will work to ensure he stays front and center for the next two years.

Good info. Thanks for posting.

Of course, there will be some of the same crew that says that some of the articles are ridiculous given they are from Politico, etc.

All you can say to that is - the art of discernment is pretty much non-existent across wide swaths of each tribe.

President Trump may very well be the 2024 nominee. But he will need to win that nomination, no matter what.

The only president to serve two separated terms was Grover Cleveland. His second term was not particularly successful, and he did not have the handicap of being a lame duck.

So you’ve posted an article from The Hill so the FR can hate on Trump.

Trump's comments are on video and have been posted everywhere this morning.

For instance:

Trump calls for Senate Republican leadership change, warns potential 2024 GOP candidates against running

Are you suggesting that Trump did NOT say that about DeSantis?

Since you have no substantive defense of Trump, it is clear that you are caught up in the cult of personality and not thinking for yourself.

Te president of lockdowns, masking, travel restrictions, mail in ballots, more criminals on the street, said what to the governor who took conservative principles and put them in action.
Vote trump mail in ballots or Desantis getting it right. Seems like a no brainer.

President Trump has all the cause to be righteously angered.. most of you turncoats, ignore the multitude of times that President Trump told US ‘we the people’ are government.. what these devils are doing to him is because he threatens their first fruits taking from the public trough.

But hey, never in all of recorded history has the majority been on the side of right.. Nothing new under the sun..

I got up at 1AM to see how things were going in Arizona. Saw Trump’s boast about it being a great night. I was so pissed that I couldn’t see straight! MAYBE Kari Lake will win, but being associated with Trump was the kiss of death in Arizona!

I don’t think Trump understands how excruciating last night was for many of us. Time for him to SHUT UP! I had three Trump flags in my yard in 2020, but he needs to SHUT UP!

Not at all.

Trump's comments are on video and have been posted everywhere this morning.

So you posted it again, in case anyone missed it.

As I said, it’s just another Hate on Trump thread. I’d like to know why there aren’t more Hate on McConnell threads? He’s the one who was openly against some of our candidates.

Why are there no Hate on Lindsey Graham threads? Turns out abortion is a bigger issue than we thought yet, here was Graham, handing Dems their only talking points———Republicans want to outlaw abortion. We could counter the USSC decision by pointing out it’s a State’s issue, not federal and then here comes Lindsey with his unnecessary bill.

This is not all on Trump is my point and the endless anti Trump threads won’t fix the Republican problems.

Did you notice that no one is calling you guys names. Yet all of you do?

It sounds like an intervention.
