Trump knocks ‘disloyal’ Iowa governor ahead of reported DeSantis endorsement
The Hill ^ | 11/06/2023 | JARED GANS

Posted on 11/06/2023 11:06:10 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Former President Trump knocked Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds (R) as “disloyal” Sunday ahead of her expected endorsement of his GOP rival, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Trump said in a post on Truth Social that Reynolds’s decision to back DeSantis, which she is expected to announce at a rally Monday, would be the end of her career and that “MAGA” would never support her again

She just got reelected with 58 percent of the vote. She’s old and may want to retire after this term. Not everyone wants to be in politics until they die.

That theoretical argument certainly can be made. But it’s a moot point.

Trump is going to be the 2024 GOP nominee. It’s time to stop the infighting, and rally around him.

Trump is becoming more and more of a buffoon with each passing day. Nobody owes Trump anything. He hired on every RINO in the DC phone book.

He is self destructing. He will lose Iowa. After that, another so called “disloyal” and “unpopular” governor will endorse RDS, and Trump will lose New Hamshire. The polls are as bogus as they were every other time they were done months before a single primary vote had been cast.

If these polls aren’t bogus, then why is Trump having to spending another million this week on more mean and nasty ads toward RDS, while RDS continues to lay out his articulate vision for fixing the country?

Or maybe they remember Trump’s arm twisting for them to keep their states unnecessarily locked down?

Trump still believes the fantasy of his magic potions: “three vaccines all are very, very good,”, “beautiful vaccines”, ”one of the greatest achievements of mankind”.

Maybe Death Jab Don needs to spend more time apologizing for his hastily delivered myocarditis and blood clot elixirs and less time worrying about the Govenor of Iowa not expressing fealty to him.

Yeah, right. /s. Do you think about Trump‘s fragile behavior? Do you think that gains him support, doesn’t make him look weak and insecure?

The governors, both of them, are disloyal. It's just a statement of fact. Your hyperbolic response makes you sound fragile.

Trump's remark was actually humorous.

LOL!

That term, like "racist" and "homophobe", has been worn out to the point of worthlessness with abuse, misuse, and over-use. You're not the King, Donald.

Trump never said he was "king". That uniparty talking point is worn out and getting old.

And one doesn't have to be Trump to call her disloyal. She simply is. And I think neither myself or Donal Trump are king.

He doesn't have to ... his actions say it for him.

That uniparty talking point

Baloney. Both as to it being a "uniparty" talking point, and as to it being worn out.

"Disloyal" to what? The Constitution? That's the only loyalty required of an American politician.

Is she forbidden to have a political opinion? Is she required to have only your or Donald Trump's opinion?

Utter nonsense.

Trump didn't "forbid" Reynolds. He simply responded to her opinion by giviing his opinion. Are you "forbidding" Trump from giving his opinion?

You're "not king" North Mountain.

Loyalty in the feudal sense was essentially a legal obligation. Loyalty today is something that is given freely - or not. A politician’s loyalty or lack thereof, still matters and it tells a lot about their character.

Trump is right to point out the lack of loyalty from the likes of Reynolds and others, in particular when it’s being withheld, not out of conviction, but because of personal ambition or advantage. Any politician who doesn’t value personal loyalty is not likely to remain loyal to the voters who placed them in power.

Well, that says a lot about you and your character. Trump is one of the few politicians in my lifetime who has remained loyal to the voters and your attitude is “Nobody owes Trump anything.” ? Talk about a buffoon!

Trump kept more promises - big promises - than any president since at least Ronald Reagan. And he’s facing threats to his freedom from relentless lawfare, as he runs interference for us from the deep state. He’s sacrificed time, wealth, and has placed himself and his family at personal and financial risk from the ire of the deep state. And none of that means anything to you. That’s an indictment of you, not of Trump.

Trump’s actions tell us that he thinks he’s king? Like when he refused to vacate the White House after Biden and the Democrats cheated? Your talking points don’t work. Think before you type. It will save all of us a lot of time.

You didn't answer my question: "Disloyal to what?

Loyalty must have an object. To what do you claim the governor is failing to give due loyalty?
