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.

That Trump can’t get under DeSantis’ skin really gets under his…
What Trump is doing is good ......
....... for Biden.
“Seems a bit odd. No?”
********************************************************
No, it’s not odd.
The swamp and leftists have a psyop going on to get the Trump nominated knowing he has little chance of winning the general election.
DeSantis supporters want to win and regain the White House to stop the swamp and leftists knowing that Trump doesn’t have a path to victory.
Funny, you didn’t answer mine.
“He’s an infant that will never grow up.”
And I thought Obama had a big ego!
What question?
Yep
LOL!
What an imagination you got. I give that 4 on the honking hoot scale.
What question?
Exactly
Why does Trump continu_ally attack and trash Desantis from the LEFT, why is he quoting Joy Reid!!?? Why is he quoting leftist orgs?
“Yet we see Trump, DeSantis, Christie, etc. fussing at each other”
UH! What has DeSantis said that is anywhere close to the garbage Trump has been spouting. It’s been all one way.
Trump will attack from any direction if you get in his way. The political landscape is littered with those who went up against Trump. Pay attention.
DeSantis is ignoring Trump and it is driving Trump ape shit crazy…
This thread is like a political romper room.
I might have to actively solicit against Trump at this rate. Sick of this.
Okay, challenge accepted:
Bush signed legislation that resulted in the construction of 700 miles of new border wall.
Since only-Trumpers follow their messiah so closely I figure they are as easily played as he is. It would only stand the Dims have figured that out and are capitalizing on it.
“I’m beginning to think Trump is unfit for the job and I never thought I would ever say that.”
I’m starting to feel the same way.
As Rush would often say, Only Trump can separate his base from Trump. Sadly, he’s doing an excellent job of it.
I wonder what Rush would say today...
Trump’s running and campaigning.
Get in and take it face to face..
Say you’re out and Trump will focus on whoever in #2 at that point..
The polls put DeSantis at number 2 without even declaring.
So, Trump is attacking the #2 like its Low Energy Jeb, Liddle Marco Rubio, Lyin Ted Cruz..
Sucks to be #2 and not able to either say I’m in and start fighting, or say I’m out, leave me alone..
The names on the polls are fair game to Candidate Trump
Not fair to any not yet announced. But that’s not Trump’s problem or fault..
