Trump on DeSantis: ‘Whatever I want, he wants’
The hill ^ | 03/14/2023 | Lauren Sforza

Former President Trump criticized Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) for his remarks about U.S. support for Ukraine on Monday, saying that the governor is just following in his footsteps.

DeSantis made headlines on Tuesday with his response to a questionnaire sent out by Fox New’s Tucker Carlson. DeSantis said that supporting Ukraine in its year-long fight against Russia is not one of America’s “vital interests,” while describing the war as a territorial dispute.

If so, why does Trump have a problem with DeSantis?

I think that Trump is referring to DeSantis’ “me too” public comments about Ukraine. There’s no telling what DeSantis would really do. He’s a professional politician. They tend to say things to get elected.

Out of curiosity I looked it up. The first Republican 2024 primary debate will be held sometime in August of this year. That would be a good time for GOP candidates to start gently criticizing each other. After all, that’s part of the primary process.

Until then, your advice should be followed exclusively.

You'd think Donald Trump would at least try a little subtlety when it comes to who terrifies him in the GOP primary. Ron DeSantis isn't even officially running and Trump already can't stop obsessing over him.

Sure he does. I think Trump falls in the 2nd paragraph.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Gov. Ron DeSantis on Tuesday asked the Florida Supreme Court to empanel a grand jury to investigate “wrongdoing” linked to the Covid-19 vaccines, including spreading false and misleading claims about the efficacy of the doses.

Most of the medical community, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the FDA and Johns Hopkins, have emphasized that the Covid vaccine is safe and effective in preventing the virus and protecting against serious symptoms."

EXACTLY!

YOUR enemy is not DeSantis.

It’s FJB and his commie crew.

You need to attack them.

Desantis was endorsed by George Soros. That is enough for me not to like him.

It’s stupid to have debates within the same party. All it does is provide sound bites for the media to use.

"Desantis was endorsed by George Soros."

Very low IQ take from what Soros actually said.

Sometimes I wish we had polls or surveys on Free Republic.

I wonder, how many Freepers are in favor of Trump’s attacks on DeSantis, and how many are opposed to such attacks.

That’s fake news, but I suspect you already know that.

TRUMP is envious, fearful, and obsessed with DESANTIS.

The term is “praised” not “endorsed”.

And Trump took Soros’ money several times in the past.

I think debate participants should debate policy, and not get personal.

Yes, we all saw in 2016 how Trump derided “Little Marco” and “Lying Ted”. But these statements against DeSantis, who should be a political ally, after the primary season is over, cannot help gain support for Republicans, assuming DeSantis becomes a declared candidate. If Trump gets in a debate and starts calling him “DeSanctimonious”, all that does is provide fodder for the liberals and late night idiot comedians.

When there is a circular firing squad, you’re right, all you do is provide sound bites for the liberals and media.
