Ron DeSanctimonious wants to cut your Social Security and Medicare, closed up Florida & its beaches, loves RINOS Paul Ryan, Jeb Bush, and Karl Rove (disasters ALL!), is backed by Globalist’s Club for NO Growth, Lincoln Pervert Project, & “Uninspired” Koch — And it only gets worse from there. He is a RINO in disguise!, whose Poll numbers are dropping like a rock. Good luck Ron!
What. The. Crap.
“I’m guessing you were a Cruz type”
No not all. I voted for Trump both elections, enthusiastically. 2016 primaries too.
But I think Desantis has done a good job as governor of my state. He certainly isn’t governing like a Rubio, Cruz, Nikki Haley establishment GOPe establishment politician.
Now, Trump is correct in a sense: Desantis DID close down Florida, to a degree. For about a month. But by May 2020 he was opening Florida up quickly and taking A LOT of heat for it. While other governors were still doing the mask mandates and other nonsense. Desantis was ahead of all the other governors on covid sanity.
Meanwhile… Trump kept the entire country shut down for months. Remember “15 days to flatten the curve”? “We’ll be open by Easter”? That was Trump! And he has the gall to say “shutdown Ron”?
Trump can’t rewrite history. We remember. He got played by Fauci (who he affectionately referred to as “Tony” and praised for months in 2020- cringe) et al - and Trump’s mishandling of covid - by not governing more like desantis- helped cost him the election.
I voted for Trump 2X and glad I did it. But he made a lot of grave errors as President example did not “drain the swamp”, “lock her up”, or fire Fauci etc when he should have. He surrounded himself with backstabbers and weirdos (Bolten? Scaramucci?).
Also I think Trump is too old- look what 80 years looks like on his “successor”. America needs someone sharp and on their game, and I think Trump’s recent tone deafness and frankly lies about Desantis suggest that he has already lost a step.
“Do you mean that? Or, did you forget to add a ‘not’ after ‘probably’?
Thanks for catching that. My sleep aid is kicking in. I meant not.
I’d bet on it.
Because Club for Growth and the Bushes will back anyone they think has a reasonable chance to defeat Trump.
The usual suspects on FR are piling on against Trump!
Thank YOU for your voice of TRUTH!
Agree with every word!
Trump is rightly attacking the Establishment that’s attempting to thwart his 2024 run. Plain as day, and surprisingly over the heads of so many indignant FReepers.
The real embarrassment are the reactionary FReepers unable to endure the same type of primary campaign trolling of 2016. Sound like a bunch of whiny-ass Democrats. That’s right, whiny-ass Rats

And Medicare is in even worse financial trouble.
Whatever you think the state of government bennies is... it's worse.
There's already a parade of "long covid" disability claims that will upend the disability portion of social security, and it's just starting. Inflation-related COLA adjustments are seriously blowing up the expected runout dates for the trust fund.
But we're a wealthy country and have plenty of resources. What we don't have is people in charge who are willing to do something simple like not throw 100 billion dollars at a country to fight a stupid proxy war. We don't have people in charge who are willing to start nixing defense contracts and reduce the size of our defense expenditures. We don't have anyone in charge willing to cut the size of government and the amount of money it spends at all, much less anyone willing to cut the size and cost of government down to something even moderately meaningful, like whatever it was at the end of the Clinton administration.
Trump got elected on "drain the swamp" and "lock her up" and when he got elected... he wouldn't prosecute Hillary.
we’ve paid all our lives for this catastrophic health insurance which is terrible PLUS we still pay every single month....
It’s too bad that Trump missed out on the most important documents, Obama’s financial aid records for college. A baby doesn’t get to choose where it’s born, but an adult who claims to be a foreign citizen in order to get foreign aid, now that might’ve given us a different outcome. However, that would’ve meant Hillary as the D-candidate.
Says the ex-prez who didn’t even propose a balanced budget w/4 attempts. Unfortunately PDJT likes debt too much.
I agree about illegals given SS.
How about them 15-20 million senior LEGAL immigrants who are getting supplemental SS? They never paid a dime in SS Taxes.
But what has that got to do about Mr Sanctimonious who will owe to his rich donors?
The photo in this context. I laughed out loud. Why does it not get old
Btw I don’t get offended by anything trump says
If he says RDS is sanctimonious then he probably is.
Are you a newbie to politics? This is primary season!
COME ON MAN! Why waste time on Brandon if you are going to be defeated in primaries? There is plenty time to attack the Democrat after nomimation.
You got that right brother freeper.
‘“As long as she meets the standards of legal gender recognition requirements of Canada, which we understand that she does, Jenna Talackova is free to compete in the 2012 Miss Universe Canada pageant,” said Michael Cohen, special counsel to Trump and executive vice president of his business group.’

‘But the main attraction, obviously, was Trump. He received a standing ovation after delivering an enthusiastic affirmation of gay rights not often heard in the GOP.
“We are fighting for the gay community, and we are fighting and fighting hard,” the former president and 2024 candidate said. “With the help of many of the people here tonight in recent years, our movement has taken incredible strides, the strides you’ve made here is incredible.”
Throughout the evening, speakers praised Trump for his embrace of the gay community. They credited him for his initiatives to combat the criminalization of homosexuality, his work pushing for public heath initiatives to combat the HIV epidemic, and for appointing the first openly gay Cabinet member, Grenell, as director of national intelligence.’

What was that about Gov. DeSantis and support from the “Lincoln Pervert Project”, Mr. President?
This is 2023 which is a lot different than 2015!
That's nice. But the voters don't.
Trump made the 2022 midterms about himself. About his election loss. Instead of focusing on crime, inflation, migrants, or tranny madness, Trump focused on Trump.
Democrats cheated again in 2022. But the fact that most Republican and Independent voters were getting tired of hearing about Trump's 2020 loss didn't help.
