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.

The people here on FR that are of low quality like you, myopic losers like you, have convinced me DeoSanctus is light weight fake and DC would crush him. I will never vote for him.
Trump is beginning to look evil.
LOL. Evil. That is good one.
De Loser?? Haha. Except DeSantis never lost anything. You can’t say that about Trump, can you?
More stupidity.
And pathos over principal?
Trump can’t beat Biden.
“Trump can’t beat Biden”
This. The Electoral map proves it. He won’t win.
Left-wing sources (though note how aggressively Don Jr defended AB last week), but misery and despair?
Trump doesn’t need any enemies. He is his worst one by a long shot.
That’s true. Then we all can just watch him destroy himself and get Biden reelected.
The statement indicates fear.
The campaign is killing with friendly fire
“He was afraid if he supported Cruz , like he should have, Trump would attack him and drive off audience.”
That’s BS. Rush didn’t pick anyone in the primaries. He got behind Trump after he won the nomination. And Trump had a lot more to fear from Rush than the other way around.
I didn’t say I’d vote for a Democrat for President instead..
I wouldn’t vote for Chris Christie either..
Or a Biden. Or a Pelosi.
Or a Cuomo.
Or a Kennedy.
Or a Jeb Bush
Or a Marco Rubio
Or a Rick Santorum
Seeing any pattern that you didn’t before, Oklahoma?
I have my reasons. And it stems from my study of scriptures and my faith journey..
Being born in a nation that began with 13 Colonies, like Christ and His 12, and grew to 50 states, like the Church grew at 50, there’s some biblically significance to whoever the President is..
A biblically prophetic nation, is this.
I’d be a hypocrite to do otherwise.
And to answer your Trump third party question, Trump infiltrated your 2 swamp party through the R and if R voters want no more Trump, MAGA voters will still vote for Trump.
MAGA isn’t another party but it’s treated like it with some Rs..
I am not a D or an R. I am an I voter..
I’d write his name in..
Reagan - Trump
Lots of Swamp in between that used to be called ‘good’..
There’s a reason I start with Bush on the Bush-Clinton-Bush-Obama era stuff..
It took that long, huh?
By losing his reelection campaign
Trump going down in flames in the general is the whole point! That will show the SWAMP once and for all apparently:
She was right about Trump.
