Trump bashes DeSantis, claims he needs a ‘personality transplant’
The Hill ^ | 05/12/23 | Caroline Vakil

Posted on 05/13/2023 9:03:06 AM PDT by proust

Former President Trump bashed Gov. Ron DeSantis in a new ad Friday, claiming the Florida Republican needs a “personality transplant.”

“The problem with Rondesanctimonious is that he needs a personality transplant, and those are not yet available. Almost all congressmen and women that served with him and knew him well supported me, some of them surprisingly so because of their relationship with Ron,” he said in the 40-second ad, using his preferred nickname for DeSantis.

Well, DeSantis’ “personality” was good enough to give him a 20-point landslide victory in 2022.

Borrowed Trump's endorsement and his opponent was found passed out on meth in a hotel room with a gay hooker...

“Also something about boundaries and limits and not recognizing or respecting them.”

Our current President has been accused of that too.

To quote the Big Lebowski, Shut The F**k Up Donny.

You most likely will win the nomination next year and you should be able to beat whatever stooge the Democrats put up. But this little temper tantrum of yours does nothing but poison the well for 2028. The conservative movement is bigger than any one person- even you Donny. And it's going to take more than 4 years to clean up. We need more standard bearers but we won't have any if you keep destroying them. Now knock it off!

Well, DeSantis’ “personality” was good enough to give him a 20-point landslide victory in 2022. I voted for Trump twice, but his attacks on DeSantis are a huge turn-off. Trump should be praising successful GOP governors like DeSantis. Instead, Trump insists on slinging mud at someone who is one of the best GOP governors I’ve seen in my lifetime.

Agreed. Well stated.

I prefer that Trump and DeSantis go after leftists instead of going after each other.

I agree. Though it was good to see Trump throw a few well-deserved barbs at this very destructive Biden Administration the other night.

Why? Why does Trump insist on this junior high rhetoric?

It has gotten him this far in life and he hasn't really seen it blow up in his face yet is the easiest way to explain it.

I'm not a fan of the childish name calling, but the electoral landscape of 2015-2016 was desperate for someone to break the mystique of Hillary, and looking at the Republican candidates of that cycle, everyone else was going to lose to her, some of them happily. Trump was great at attracting eyeballs to news channels at the time, and the verbal abuse was effective at clearing the table in the primary, most prominently with Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio, who were really knocked out of national prominence for years... all because of petty name calling.

Is the electoral landscape of 2023-2024 as hungry for what Trump offers? Time will tell.

I doubt I will vote for him a third time. I see him as part of the problem and not the answer.

I have my doubts that you ever voted for him. That TDS smells pretty strong in here.

‘ Who just lost a lawsuit because of his personality?’

——————————-

By your reasoning……Russiagate, spying and lawfare are all justified because Trump has a terrible personality.

True or false?

DeSantis term in D.C. he was known as being a snob he didn’t deal with any more people then he had to Trump is right.

DeSantis isn’t a people person he’s a DeSantis person.

God Bless All don’t need to argue need to stop fighting especially in Ukraine and to stop the economic warfare against Russia as well.

No money for Republicans because of the unrelenting incitement to war.

I will support folks like MTG or Paul Gosar of Thomas Massie but no money for GOP especially the House and Senate committees even if Trump tells me to.

I have a naive neighbor who lives a conservative lifestyle but did not vote for Trump.
She despises him and complains about his nastiness & about the 3 Trump signs in the neighborhood. (Including mine)
He lost her vote, and most people here wouldn’t care.
It’s all a big joke to them.

"Ronny's" PAC yesterday trashed Trump with CNN lies.

Trump responds to the candidate's liars.

You seem to miss all that.

Funny. I’ve been told over and over that Trump isn’t a “politician”. Now, back to the schoolyard fight.

Who just helped pass a bill that will hide his travel plans and who he meets with?
I thought FLA was the “Sunshine” State.
No transparency in that bill.
