If you have spent any time on Twitter or anti-DeSantis conspiracy websites, you will hear how Ron DeSantis is Jeb Bush reincarnated and is a puppet for the Bushes! and Karl Rove! (and the globalists, don’t forget the globalists)(and the three-fingered pudding eaters, don’t forget the pudding eaters).
Paul Ryan – who Trump publicly adored – pulls DeSantis’ strings, some say.
So great to have the endorsement and support of Paul Ryan. We will both be working very hard to Make America Great Again! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 2, 2016
I’m so old that I remember (a couple months ago) when the claim was that DeSantis was secretly colluding with Kevin McCarthy, until Trump publicly endorsed and made calls for McCarthy’s Speaker bid, and somehow that nutjob conspiracy theory fell off the radar.
It’s one thing after another. Do you see how you are being manipulated? Wake up.
Some people think the path to victory is to divide the world into loyalists and haters, with no room for people who simply disagree. Disagreement is hate, just like on college campuses. Hey, maybe I’m onto something, the primaries that haven’t even really started yet, but already are turning into a college campus where words are violence and anyone who disagrees must be driven out. Good luck with that. Joe Biden is laughing all the way to the ice cream parlor.
But I digress.
The Bush thing has dominated the nutty swamps recently.
In other words, he made it up. All of Trump world ran with an obvious lie.

But seriously. What if “Bush” people were advising DeSantis? Would it be disqualifying?
If so, then DeSantis wouldn’t be the only one disqualified, so would Trump. Team Trump is doing what campaigns do, which is drawing on experienced talent, and Team Trump found that talent in a Jeb! operative. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Politico reported on Trump hiring a Jeb! operative to run Trump’s campaign in New Hampshire:
Donald Trump has tapped an operative to lead his 2024 efforts in New Hampshire. And for the role, he’s turned to a veteran of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush’s 2016 presidential bid.
Trevor Naglieri will serve as Trump’s New Hampshire state director, according to two GOP operatives familiar with the move.
Naglieri was a field coordinator for Bush in 2016 and went on to serve as New Hampshire field director and then national field director for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas). He most recently managed Pennsylvania Republican Jeremy Shaffer’s unsuccessful 2022 congressional bid. He also did stints at Republican consulting firm Axiom Strategies. It’s okay. Really.
Rather than focusing on conspiracy theories on who is controlling whom, how about we focus on the candidates themselves, and what they have to offer, and who is most electable? And how about we acknowledge that people who love this country and want the best for it can disagree as to who the best candidate is, without demonizing people and calling them haters?
May the best candidate win. (Is that a hateful thing to say?)
In before, “Trump is playing 4D chess!”
I am sorry you have no life but to demonize President Trump.. what state do you hail? A blue state?
Trump did not hire Jeb, for one. Lying headline.
Next, these campaign officials are like hired guns(lawyers), they will play for whoever pays them.
“I am sorry you have no life but to demonize President Trump.. what state do you hail? A blue state?”
The way Leftists demonize Trump is the same way they demonize Putin - they just seem to have an inner need to HATE people who have done nothing to harm them.
Well, he said one thing that I can agree with him on.
murderous war-criminal monsters like Putin deserve to be demonized
Trevor Naglieri isn’t Rove.
And the Bushes aren’t running Trump’s campaign:
Mark Simone: “The Bushes” Are Running The Ron DeSantis 2024 Campaign, “Karl Rove Will Be The Coach On The Field”
Or you could call them 'conservatives', something Trump will never be.
“I’m so old that I remember (a couple months ago) when the claim was that DeSantis was secretly colluding with Kevin McCarthy”
I thought it was Kevin Bacon.
Someone post a pic please

You're right, Trump didn't hire Jeb. And, no, the headline didn't lie. Trump hired a Jeb! OPERATIVE. Re-read the headline again.
If the Bush-Cheney MIC donors were funding Trump’s campaign like they are DeSantis, I’d be concerned. Ronnie is already copying sound bites from Romney and McCain and seems to be a puppet for the GOPe.
Where as MAGA conservatives believe in God, family and country…. We maga conservatives are the backbone of a civilized society… We do not need public adulation for doing what is right.. we do not pray to the Heavenly Father in vain, but what is in His will.. we do not sell indulgences or demand 10% of every transaction…
The ‘principal’ conservatives hook up in gated communities and do not care who crosses our border.. that just means cheap laborers to cut your grass, change your babies butts and cook your food.
What happened to Corey Lewandowsky?
Wait until they find out that Joy Reid prefers. Trump to DeSantis.
This is appropriate.
Leftists love Putin. Look at Obama.
What about people who don’t like the court being packed with Anthony Kennedy disciples?
“Leftists love Putin.”
That’s a new one! But I guess you guys must have nothing left...
