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's a very popular governor and it's her choice.

She's a very popular governor and it's her choice.

You were saying???

[Reno89519]

“Disloyal”?! WTF, does Trump seriously want and is so fragile to demand lifetime fealty?

[Reno89519]

Really think those numbers are meaningful? And, how many votes do you think Trump gained or lost by his rude insults and demands to a sitting governor? Or, make it simpler, do you think he gained or lost votes for 2024?

[ChicagoConservative27]

Well she was at one time. If this is the case, she must find herself a Trump struggle session and get her mind right! (Sarcasm)

[JayGalt]

I think most people think her endorsement is quid pro quo and it sullies her.

[Reno89519]

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?

[aMorePerfectUnion]

Disloyal Governor supports Disloyal Governor!

Read about it!

[HYPOCRACY]

She looks like Carly Fiorina so maybe she thinks Meatball will call her his VP and go on a fantasy tour.

[JoSixChip]

Do you think that gains him support, doesn’t make him look weak and insecure?

I would say that the fact Trump is winning in every single poll, and not by a little, says it gains him millions of votes. I think that is more convincing evidence then the rant of a butt hurt desanctonious loser, like yourself.

Are you really this obtuse and blinded by your own myopic support for your candidate?

Seriously???

Look at all of the current polling and how low Mr. 8% DeSanctimonious is trending. His trajectory has only been down since he declared.

He never should have gotten in bed with the Globalists, NeoCons, Bushes, and NeverTrumpers.

He has destroyed his political career with his stupid, selfish, narcississtic, back-stabbing choices.

[McGavin999]

Sure it’s her choice, but she is nowhere near as popular as she used to be and she will have a very, very hard time getting elected to anything without Trump supporters unless she changes parties.

[Round Earther]

“I don’t invite her to events!”

That has to leave a mark.

[Leaning Right]

Trump went too far here. We don’t live in a feudal state where one person owes loyalty to another. We owe loyalty to the flag and to the Constitution. And that’s about it.

This doesn’t let Gov. Reynolds off the hook. Her presumed endorsement of DeSantis is both unwise and unhelpful. Like it or not, Trump will be the 2024 GOP nominee. It’s time to unite.

[wiseprince]

The numbers are not meaningful but she’s a coward; a liar and a typical politician. She said to everyone on nationally televised programming that she would remain neutral. Her word is worthless. She’ll call Desanctus a man of integrity but how would she recognized integrity?

[Alberta's Child]

What kind of moron in public office endorses a candidate who is polling in single digits?

[gibsonguy]

Of course We know The Hill would never shade a story to make Trump look as bad a possible

[wiseprince]

The endorsement helps Trump because it gives Desantus a lifeline. The alternative may be for Nikki Haley to take her momentum and push Desanctus out of the race and that would have given her a better chance at consolidating the never Trump vote. This keeps Desanctus in the race and he will continue to split the vote with Nikki Halensky. If Trump’s wins Iowa and it looks anything like the polls he WILL gain momentum and more likely than not increase his lead in NH.

“disloyal”

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.

[Republican in occupied CA]

Thanks for saying that.

I would consider it a duty and obligation to rebel against *ANY* human or ideology that requests or requires “loyalty”.
