President Trump just called Ron DeSantis a globalist. He’s 100% right. Here’s a long thread with everything i know so far to validate his point.

1. War

DeSantis said Trump wasn’t tough enough on Russia and advocated for more lethal aid to Ukraine.

He also voted to sanction Iran, Russia and North Korea while Trump opposed it. Earlier he wrote a joint letter to John Kerry, asking him to force Ukraine to join EU to fight against Russia. His former press secretary is a foreign agent who worked for a Zelensky official.

He seemed to support a regime change in Venezuela. Called the current regime illegitimate and wanted a “free Venezuela”.

He also supported the unending war in Afghanistan, called to use everything in our arsenal.

Not to mention his best friend Kent Stermon, who was the COO of Total Military Management. DeSantis lived in his condo when he was in congress. And of course in return, he appointed him on board after he became the governor, just like he did to other lobbyists.

Read the article. There is a difference between state economic policy and national economic policy, especially in the foreign arena.

Will he appoint Globalist after Globalist? Trump NEVER should have fired Bannon. He should have canned the little globalist princess and her globalist husband instead.

What has the article and the difference in economic policies of Federal and State got to do with the fact that DeSantis, and every Governor before him since the mid-90’s has had a Republican majority in both Houses of the Florida State Legislature?

"Trump NEVER should have fired Bannon."

I can agree with you on that one. Without Kushner, there would be no Abraham Accords though. He never should have let General Flynn resign either.

I 100% agree. Bannon and Flynn were his best assets, and we need more like them. No globalists.

Fact. Without DeSantis voters, Trump is dead in the water.

Even with them, his odds are slim. This isn’t about who wins the primary. This primary is about shaping the dialogue for the next election. All these candidates count for that process.

Most political neophytes on this board think name calling and gotcha post help their candidate. Wrong. People better wake up because this party is so divided and it looks like Trump will keep it that way and go down with the ship. Right now, he’s running a losers campaign. Just like Hillary.

DeSantis served, Trump dodged. There’s that.

Meaningless bullshit.

Trump created a financial real estate empire, Ron has no such accomplishments......There's that.

"Fact. Without DeSantis voters, Trump is dead in the water."

He got elected in 2016 without DeSantis voters. Rick Scott was Governor at the time. Dialogue and policies won't matter if the election is stolen again, which I'm sure it will be. No matter who is on the ballot for the Republicans in 2024, they won't be allowed to win. That's the truth of the matter.

The clown show is getting old.

President Trump was the first president to actually be chosen by the people that is why the establishment and the clueless hate him.

Lake would have been a people chosen Governor so they dared not let it happen. Does no one remember how Presidents used to be chosen by smoke filled backrooms at a convention? When mass communication became available the tactics changed but were no less manipulated by the elite. Early primaries were engineered to make a candidate of their choice begin to emerge as a favorite helped along of course by endless fake polls showing how the people loved or hated a candidate.

I have to admit that at this point I wonder if Trump and McConnell can ever effectively work together again - their beef has gotten very personal. And if Trump’s second term is to produce anything that outlasts his time in office, he must have legislative wins.

All the pettiness will give us another 6 years of dementia Joe.

Only one thing can lead to that, fake elections.

I would argue that this party was divided long ago without Trump; he was just a catalyst exposing the disease by providing a stark contrast. The disease was always there, and I think it is tempting for some people to return to the status quo and start trusting the GOPe. Voting for them, taking their words as gold, all the while, they stab us in the back.

I sympathize with Trump and all the crap he has had to put up with but Governor DeSantis has done some great things and is the wrong target.

So if someone walks up behind you and knows the cr@p out if you, you should attack the guy in front of you? Got it.

How will he avoid being put in McConnell's vice?

Ask DeSantis the same question?

I've got other questions for DeSantis - like, what exactly would his plans be? Does he plan to build a border wall? How does he plan to fix the economy? What will he do to get the US extricated from Ukraine? There's a lot about what DeSantis wants to do as president that he hasn't shared.

But Trump has a long and very nasty, very personal feud going with McConnell. I don't know how they can work together.

Trump is a billionaire and former president with a beautiful wife and successful adult children who love him. He's fine and living a great life.

People have no concept as to how nasty nomination fights have been throughout our history.

For people that grew up watching National Conventions like me, we had no clue what deals had to be made to get the key votes, but we accepted what ever they produced. Trump is the first President that was actually chosen by the people who voted for him and I doubt that will ever happen again until Jesus returns.

“Dodged? In what way?”

These days it usually means that someone isn’t old enough to have lived through the draft. So they don’t know the difference between a 2-S deferment, legal, and draft dodging, a crime.

The draft ended in 1973 along with our participation in Vietnam. 2-S deferments ended earlier than that, in 1969, when the draft lottery was instituted.
