Trump just after winning 2016 presidential election: "lol, just kidding!"

On Tuesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Ingraham Angle,” ... DeSantis stated that the question in the wake of the indictments of ... Trump is how we’ll respond and end weaponized government. ... The swamp got worse in his four years.”
...
“... what we need to do is get a president ... that could actually end the weaponization of federal power through the DOJ [and] the FBI. So, for example, with me as president, on day one, Christopher Wray gets sent packing. You’re going to see the DOJ cleared out. We are going to ensure a single standard of justice in this country again. And I can say that with credibility because I’ve done that in the State of Florida. We’ve drained the swamp in here. We’ve gotten rid of negligent election supervisors in South Florida. We’ve removed two different progressive prosecutors funded by Soros who were not enforcing the law. So, I’ve shown an ability to take action and get the job done. And, as the president, I am going to do the same thing.”
...
"[Trump] had three years to fire Christopher Wray and he didn’t fire him. And remember, I went to the rallies in 2016, Laura. You remember them, lock her up, lock her up, about holding Hillary accountable. And then, two weeks after the election, he said never mind that I said that and let her off the hook. And so, I think if you look at — and I give him credit even though we’re competing for the great things he did do — but one of the things he did not do was drain the swamp. The swamp got worse in his four years.”

If you don’t like the positive sharing of information such as this article about DeSantis, why don’t you move on to something more fitting for your interest?
Ohio population 11 mil
Registered voters 8 mil
Unaffiliated voters 6 mil
—————————
Republicans are not popular. Abortion will be on the ballot nationwide 2024.
Abortion has been legal for 50 years. Those 70 yrs. old and younger have always had access to abortion. Banning abortion is not popular. If the Republican party doesn’t state where they stand on this issue, they will never win locally or nationwide. And dems/media will continue to hammer republicans on this issue because they are silent.
DeSantis passed one of the most strict abortion laws nationwide, this alone will defeat him. They will claim that he will make that happen nationwide. As a woman I know that many have no clue they are pregnant until 6 wks (or longer). Most want 12-15 wks. If republicans said this, abortion would no longer be an issue.
Arguing over other nonsense is a waste of time and noise. If you want to win, open up minds and focus on what counts.
Note: Ohioan’s voted against raising the percentage needed to change the Constitution last week. Why? Because they don’t want abortion banned, that was the dem sales pitch to vote no. Were they stupid to vote that way? YES. But the republican message was ‘no abortions’. They fell right into the trap. Idiotic. And they lost 57% - 43%..3 mil voted
So many here say ‘Winning is the most important thing’, if the republican party doesn’t change their messaging on abortion….nothing else matters. Abortion is why we lost 2022, not Trump. We didn’t lose 2020. Abortion was still legal. We will lose nationwide 2024.
The rest of us that despise the GOPe don’t care if they lose. We want the party dissolved or cleaned out. Trump is the GOPe main and only target (for 7 yrs). DeSantis is not a target (very suspect).
“Isn’t hindsight great.”
You’re full of shit. Every “freeper” was bitching about Trump letting Sessions,Wray, Bar, and Clinton get away with crap in real time. Hindsight my ass.
You damn well know that, you piece of scum.
And, DeSantis is bed with the Republican establishment.
These lies aren't going to work.
About 4-5 months too late to be saying this. This should have been his stump speech on day 1.
DeSantis is right. However, its a little unfair to ignore the unprecedented attack on Trump by the left and the RINOs, preventing him from taking such action. They spied on his campaign, impeached him twice on bogus allegations and undermined him at every turn. In fact, looking back, it is amazing how much Trump was able to accomplish under the circumstances. As someone living down here in Florida, I love DeSantis as my Governor. However, to ignore the unprecedented attack on the Trump administration and the complete lack of support by the RINOs, is completely unfair.
And the Trump-deranged have continued bitching every day. Maybe 5% of FR are dominating the forum with Trump hate and Zelensky love.
DeSantis’s donors are the big wig GOPe types. If he is not part of the swamp now, he will be.
He's the Mitch McConnell of Florida.
MT now let’s be honest here Trump was never a Conservative, he is a New York Liberal who took the role of a Populist. Notice I did not say Leftist. In fact Trump donated to Hillary and even Harris and other NY Democrats. If truth be known many of these people are friendly with each other off camera as a good bit of this is theater.
Better than Last Place for you..
I suspect they are friendly..The great unwashed are easily fooled..
Trump is a Populist not Conservative and runs with what is Popular..At heart he is a New York Liberal but Conservatism sells unlike Liberalism.
I don’t see DT as a vengeful person. with all people and countries, he tries his best. It’s what always worked for business. THEN came the grave diggers full of revenge.
“I suspect they are friendly.”
If I remember, he said that they were friends that he said that she was beautiful, another sarcastic sentiment. Now, you know for a certainty that he does not think Hilary is beautiful. No such person exists on this earth.
Uh oh, the T-Bots will be coming for you!

***********************
Trump made the proper move from a historical point of view, by turning from the campaign rhetoric of “lock her up” to “let’s move forward” without criminalizing politics.
The Trump haters are the ones through their nutjob hatred, that have broken 234 years of normal Presidential politics.
You write sloppy editorial comments like "The country is worse off after his presidency" and pretend they are facts. You would not know objective truth if it bit you. Your preposterous arguments would be better received on joebiden.com than on FR.
