As Congressman, DeSantis Would Call Trump ‘An Idiot.’
The National Pulse ^ | 06/23/2023 | JAKE WELCH

Posted on 06/25/2023 4:39:43 PM PDT by SoConPubbie

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.

When the president was simply Mr. Trump, he allowed a man to compete in his Miss Universe beauty pageant, taking the slot from a real woman. It’s part and parcel of mainstreaming sexual deviancy into society. Laws are written because of social pressure, and we’re seeing the worst outcomes from all those little moments in time where most were appalled but enough were accepting of perversions of reality.

Back when GHW Bush was running, he seemed like a guy that
was probably as well qualified as any other president, when
they ran for office.

He had been a Congressman, Senator, Ambassador to China, CIA
Director, and Vice-President. On paper that’s a full house resume.

In hindsight it would have been a good idea to at least ask
the question if he wasn’t too much of an insider.

His “One World Order” statement left no doubt about that.

In 1988, it was hard to think in terms of there being a
swamp as entrenched as there is today. It was there and
GHWB was all in.

It is clear that the WEF is the global public enemy number
one. It, the UN, China, and our Congress are on the same
team about 95% of the time.

Have you never read ... Christ said ‘remember Lot's wife’.. NO man or woman was/is going to stop that deviant generation ... That is NOT to say there will not be accountability for those who know better ... Because the preacher/priest and unholy fathers are first in line for judgment, according to Peter.

Now who was running things in Texas when that case went to the Supremes ... that divined a right to same sex marriage? Look at that old goat in Rome ... his first act was to say ‘judge not lest ye be judged’ and he was talking about the homos running the church.

I will not judge the business man Trump differently, when the clergy has been up to their eyeballs in mainstreaming deviancy for thousands of years.

By the way Roman Catholic Ron DEE-Saintus will follow the pope's directives... count on it.

None of that matters. Trump is at 70% and DeFakeout around 15%. LOL.

It seems to me the evidence reveals that Lot’s wife probably
thought that it would have been great to take the girls to
go see homosexuals and transsexuals cavorting.

When she looked back, she looked back at a society she was
losing, longingly.

Oops.

I don’t say this to judge Lot’s wife, who has already been
judged, but you have to wonder, and whose side mothers today
are on if they take their kids to things like this.

There’s one bullet I dodged. I probably made up for it on
others. Except for the grace of Jesus Christ...

Well, as an American citizen, as a veteran, as a former Trump supporter, I too, would call Trump an idiot nowadays. Same for the people who are cultishly following him at this point.

Trump has praised the WEF endlessly, has spoken there multiple times, and one of his daughters is even an official “WEF Globalist Young Leader.” Many of his Exec Orders matched up perfectly with the WEF agenda, and one of his newly stated goals is to implement their 15 minute cities. Cue for you to attack me now, instead of the WEF or Trump, who you just said was public enemy number 1.

DeSantis was one of Trump’s biggest defenders in Congress.

We know what was happening in Sodom and Gomorrah ... same as today ... point was Lot's wife was told not to look back .. she disobeyed and paid the price.. We today have the example of what the Heavenly Father did to Sodom and Gomorrah, and yet those who sit in seats of teaching Christ cannot muster what to expect from that lifestyle.

These parents today that mess with a child's innocences will be held to account .. Makes my stomach squeamish to even contemplate.. messing up a child's mind. It is near a 'hate' crime to teach Christ regarding deviant lifestyles...

You poor thing.

Yeah, Trump was the WEF’s best guy in our midst, going after
NATO to get their pay their fair share for Europe’s defense.

You honestly believe that Trump would sell us out to the
WEF.

Well, Hillary sold folks that he was willing to sell us out
to Russia.

At least you run in interesting circles.

Should we run investigations for four years to see how
badly Trump sold us out to the WEF?

Remove your head from trump's backside.

It is true tho...sometimes Trump runs his mouth like an idiot...

Yet, if this article is true, it's Ron who is running his mouth like an idiot.

Oh come on now! Calling someone an idiot is not exactly a strong criticism or even mean you disagree with them. I’ve even used such a statement myself when speaking of someone I love and respect quite a bit. “He is such an idiot” can be said with admiration and laughter.

It’s much like reading a transcript of someone’s statement and not being there when the words were said in person. The connotation can change if you are personally listening to the statement rather than reading it.

I can picture Desantis saying, “He is such an idiot” shaking his head, and walking away laughing.

I’m taking this story with the grain of salt that all should.

Name one time Trump ever spoke put against the WEF or any of their policies, then look at those video links I just posted of him praising Klaus at the WEF. Those are just a few of the many examples, but let’s see you find one time Trump ever opposed anything to do with the WEF, or even Davos. It’s his real crowd, obviously.

Who else does he never criticize, and hang out with, and have his daughter coronated as an official “Young Globalist Leader.” He wanted her to marry a Rothschild too, who was living in Trump Tower. The new Baron Rothschild as a matter of fact.. More than you can even contemplate I imagine, so just see if you can find a single time he’s ever criticized them. DeSantis has, several times. “WEF policies are DOA in Florida.”

I didn’t particularly care for him during the day, but I
can’t honestly tell you what that was based on now.

I may have simply shut him out in favor of Bush.

We can’t get them all right.

You’ve also seen him praise Hillary, Bill, and a ton of
other Democrats. He glad handed many of them. Did he
adopt their game plans? No.

I’ve not seen his support for 15 minute cities, but I
have seen it referenced.

Trump also praised Kim before going over there. He seemed
to have gotten something out of it, Kim pulling back for
at least four years.

Is he greasing the gears with Klaus to get some
concessions later on? Will he change his views of
certain things? I don’t know. I do not think he
would sell us out.

If you want to join all those who do think he would,
we’ll see who is right at the end of the day.

A lot of Trump’s exec orders read like a WEF wish list. If you really believe they are public enemy number 1, as you said, you need to do some objective research.
