The Governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, called Donald Trump ‘an idiot’ before relying on the former President to get him elected as the Governor of Florida in 2018, according to a feature piece published on Ron and his wife Jill “Casey” DeSantis.
During his unremarkable, five-year stint as a Member of the U.S. House of Representatives between 2013 and 2018, DeSantis would spend his time talking to his staff about “the Constitution, baseball, and golf.”
The only times DeSantis joked around with his former staffers were apparently at Trump’s expense: “The one thing they joked about, the former staffer said, was Trump.”
“Ron always said this guy was just an idiot.”
Despite this, Governor DeSantis went on to beg for Trump’s endorsement in the run-up to the Florida gubernatorial election in November 2018, meeting the former President “with tears in his eyes” before asking for “a favor.”
The full feature, which has been described as a “hit piece” by Ron DeSantis’s staffers, can be read here. The campaign, nor the Governor, have denied the allegations.
I’ve read your comments. I’m not impressed.
I am a Trump voter. You seem to value a man if he talks like you or not. Pretty shallow.
I value a man if he is strong enough to keep nations from doing something that stirs up a war.
Biden managed to do just that.
I value a man in that office when he cuts taxes.. closes our border.. loves my country.. works for we the people.. has a family who are respectful.. who has a heart to help and volunteers to serve.. even in a meat grinder.
I value a man who used his airplane to take a boy to a hospital.. not knowing him, just that he was in need.. a man who reverences the bible and honors the flag, the military and loves the USA.
I honor a man who learned, in his 40s and 50s, what works and what doesn’t..and by the time he is 70, he has wisdom he didnt have in younger years.
All New Yorkers talk alike.. why does it matter anyway.
Trump works long hours.. he is ahead of schedule.
Trump has A high IQ. I have a son who is a high IQr.. he says its not rude... its impatience. They are ahead of you ..catch up.
The article is from the Washington Post, and why would the Desantis team waste time responding to anything from that Leftist rag? Desantis has a reputation for ignoring obvious hit pieces like this.
Are you saying simpson96 is the antichrist?
SoConPubbie’s anti-Desantis BS propaganda thread #832,563. Desantis is my Governor, and was my Congressman, and this piece is absolute BS, as usual.
Do you think you’re convincing anyone to vote Trump? If that’s your goal, you’re failing. But you know that.
Your real goal os to divide people and demoralize, making you a DS propaganda arm. Sleeper Freeper.
Why are you still allowed to post?
Seems so. Good way of putting it.
I’ll never vote for DeSantis, I don’t care if the Dem nominee is Stalin himself.
No, I’m saying the media is the Spirit of Antichrist.
Fine, vote for Stalin then. Unbelivable.
That is a ludicrous statement.
True, but our enemies were at bay and the economy was strong. Our enemies feared The Donald and our allies respected him.
Him and me both. He is an idiot savant. Creative at media, governing not so much. Devolved lots of regs. But ten min later Biden undid alot.
You would think his team would address any anti-Christ material
in there though.
So you are no different that the Lincoln Project, Never Trumpers and others who refuse to vote for Trump under any circumstances. Just the opposite side of the coin. It’s not about the country for any of you on either side, it’s all about Trump. Congratulations. You’ve proven you are just as dangerous as the people you claim to oppose, because you would rather the country be destroyed if you don’t get the person you want.
Well, when you really think about it, it’s not.
DeSantis is bought and paid for son. Just another hack GOP establishment politician.
There is Never Trump, and Never DeSantis.
But on the other hand Stalin killed 50 Milluon People.
Why in God’s name would I want to participate in a political process that’s utterly corrupt and controlled by foreign entities?
Ron didn’t like TRUMP policy. His entire career is government indoctrinated! He imitated Trump to get elected then finally showed his true Bush/Ryan/RINO colors. Ron has no personality,so he borrowed Trump’s just like he borrowed his endorsement and never paid anything back.
Anyone who sounds like a real human instead of a lawyer sounds like an idiot to you.
But I didn’t read the article or even comment on the article. I commented on his statement.
Wrong. He had fought the left tirelessly. You always Trumpers seem to think that Trump will always be the MAGA Movement. Wrong.
