“I think DeSantis is smart enough to know that Trump is turning off people on the right every time he calls anyone who he deems as a GOP opponent tacky names. By coming out with an endorsement for Trump after that, DeSantis would also be…”
I ask this question of most DeSantis for president supporters who either slither away or go slimy, claiming he’s not running.
I never get an answer. I’ll try again:
Why do you assume Trump did not ask DeSantis for an endorsement first?
I assume Trump asked for the endorsement first. DeSantis said hang it on the wall. That’s my assumption.

Why do you assume he did? I try to avoid assuming anything. Show me proof/evidence.
For the sake of argument, let's say that Trump asked DeSantis for an endorsement (still want to see that link and/or proof), didn't get it, and THEN started in on insulting DeSantis out of spite. Still, is that a wise move on Trump's part? It's turning off people that would have (or did previously) support Trump...just like it did back in 2016 when Trump started in on his childish insults against Ted Cruz.
Trump has stated, in his defense of saying he regretted endorsing DeSantis, that he likes loyalty. If that's true, why have so many people that he has appointed and hired turned out to be disloyal? It's a pattern. A disturbing one.
For the record, IF Trump is able to run in 2024, I will vote for him.....if he does not do (or say) something really heinous between now and then. I mean, he pissed me off in 2016 for the same behavior...yet I approved of most of what he did for America while in office.
