Former President Donald Trump criticized Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida Thursday in a statement posted on Truth Social, calling him an “average” governor who was “politically dead” and in “desperate shape” before Trump endorsed him in 2017.
“Ron came to me in desperate shape in 2017—he was politically dead, losing in a landslide to a very good Agriculture Commissioner, Adam Putnam, who was loaded up with cash and great poll numbers. Ron had low approval, bad polls, and no money, but he said that if I would Endorse him, he could win,” Trump said in the statement.

DeSantis defeated Adam Putman, the Republican Agriculture Commissioner, in the 2018 Republican primary for governor by 20%, according to Ballotpedia.

Is that what it was?
I thought it was grainy videotapes of him bedding all those Miss Universes.

Is this about conservative principles?

His ego, failure to accept everyone; DNC GOPe, cheated, but won. He’s about to go so far off the rails to become a tool of those who destroyed him.

“at this point I’d prefer DeSantis as POTUS.”
Have you seen who’s supporting him, or will support him, financially? They will own him.

An average governor doesn’t do as well as DeSantis did. He won by 20 points.

Trump is running in '24. Desantis will get crushed if he tries to go against Trump.
You will be voting for Trump in Nov. ‘24.
Get used to the idea.
Where else are you going to go?

The massachusetts governor won by 30 points and she is well below average!

If Trump is the candidate I’m most definitely supporting him. Still, Trump’s narcissism gets old.
To: MayflowerMadam

You are seeing the real Donald Trump here. Deep down he is a self centered SOB.

"

Seems unlikely.
Don is rapidly losing ground against Ron now and DeSavage hasn't even shown up yet.
If Ron waits a bit longer, Don will knock himself out.

I am now officially tired of Trump. Won’t be voting for him again (unless he somehow wins the 2024 nomination)

He served a purpose but I never had any love for him. I believe that purpose is over.
