Former President Donald Trump ramped up his attacks against Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on Friday, releasing a campaign statement claiming the popular governor’s record in the Sunshine State is “one of misery and despair.” In a press release titled “The Real Ron DeSantis Playbook,” Trump provided a long list of reasons why Florida “continues to tumble into complete and total delinquency and destruction,” and argued that it has become one of the least affordable states to work, raise kids, and retire.

“The real DeSantis record is one of misery and despair,” campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said. “He has left a wake of destruction all across Florida and people are hurting because he has spent more time playing public relations games instead of actually doing the hard-work needed to improve the lives of the people he represents.”
On his social media platform Truth Social, Trump on Friday also shared a number of polls showing him far ahead of all of his potential GOP competitors.
The attacks come amid speculation that DeSantis is planning to launch a 2024 run for president in the coming weeks.
According to Florida Voice reporter Brendon Leslie, the Trump campaign sourced far-left Florida blogger Jason Garcia for its anti-DeSantis talking points. Garcia regularly trashes the conservative governor from the left on his Substack and on social media.

Interesting.
That is because Trump is a narcissist. Trump thinks he is the greatest everything. Zero humility.
His age is showing, but he has always been like this. He’s always been an arrogant jerk who just didn’t have a political pulpit to really go off from.
Not anti “MAGA”.
See the ASSumptions EverTrumpers make?
I am pro-US and not beholden to one very narcissistic man who thinks he’s Napoleon.
Trump attacks from any and all sides..
If you ignored Trump’s 2015/16 campaign and his Presidency, don’t know what to say but , you’re going to wear yourself out..
Trump wouldn’t be campaigning today if the election wasn’t stolen.
Try not to forget that.
Stolen elections have consequences.
You’d almost be done with Trump and MAGA ..
The swamp did you dirty..
You absolutely aren’t MAGA.
Stop lying to yourself..
Your R party gave us Bush,Dole,Bush, McCain, Romney
Trump happened because your party wasn’t sending anything but Swamp as their Presidential timber..
Look in the mirror..
I do not believe that is the purpose of this thread.
I 100 percent MAGA, and Trump has become a liability. His brand was winning. Well he hasn’t won anything since 2019. A movement is big%r than 1 man.
If by Trump, you mean the US Military..
Yes.
The steal was either enabled or allowed, under the nose of the US Military..
Someday we may find out the why to that..
Until then, the courts say no standing and election 2024 is the next attempt..
MAGA isn’t changing their vote.
R party may change their vote.
Every right to..
MAGA will vote for Trump regardless to what the R party does in November 2024..
You say you’re MAGA but you’ve got a funny, Swampy R party way of showing it..
The man who started MAGA is running.
He’s not done.
To your chagrin..
So you wouldn’t vote for DeSantis?
Trump didn’t start Maga! Maga belongs to the American People. He happened to be a very flawed vessel at the time for the Maga agenda, but he has gotten even more imiture, to the point that it is hurting the Maga agenda.
And Trump needs to start behaving like a big boy.
Yeah, they are as whacked out crazy as the LEFT. Who would have ever thought....bizarre.
It was a lot worse than that.
His legal team in the first impeachment was superb, which made the Orly Taitzish antics of his election lawyers all the more mystifying.
No.
But to be fair, I wouldn’t vote for DeSantis if Trump endorsed him for 2024 or 2028..
Not for President..
The reasons are rooted more along the lines of what would be found on a religious forum thread, though..
I will say this, in a land of crazy tyrants around the world and country during Covid, DeSantis showed himself well and Florida did too..
You may be right in the sense that it's possible that the Dems are thinking it will be EASIER to STEAL the election a 2nd time from Trump than a first time steal from Desantis.
Trump is also creating UNNECESSARY questions to be asked by constantly attacking a man who has NOT even declared he's a candidate for the presidency. Bad Optics!
Excellent take.
Who started Maga?
Bush?
Dole?
Bush?
McCain?
Romney?
Career politicians?
It’s almost like the R team thinks they weren’t a Swamp First party until Trump tried to infiltrate their party..
Trump took a look around and said, man, we’ve got to Make America Great Again..
Thanks to the Bush-Clinton-Bush-Obama era..
Nice try..
That’s just not true. I love Trump and plan to vote for him but DeSantis is a darn good governor. I’m here in Lee County, ground zero for hurricane Ian. He cut through red tape and was right on top of things. I want him honor his commitment and serve a full term as governor.
The Democrat Media love it.
