Trump Plans to Make Ron DeSantis a ‘Political Eunuch’
Rolling Stone ^ | FEBRUARY 8, 2024 10:00AM EST | ASAWIN SUEBSAENG AND ADAM RAWNSLEY

After a year of getting roundly humiliated by Donald Trump and failing to unseat him as the leader of the Republican Party, Ron DeSantis finally dropped out of the race and endorsed Trump’s bid to reclaim the White House. But while the former president publicly retired his “DeSanctimonious” nickname, Trump has privately made clear over the past two weeks that he’s not ready to let go of his grudge against the Florida governor and former ally.

One of the sources, who has spoken to the ex-president about this topic recently, bluntly characterizes Trump’s attitude on DeSantis’ future as wanting to turn “Ron into a political eunuch” who never gets to be president, much less lead his party. In months past, as Rolling Stone previously reported, Trump privately insisted that if DeSantis truly wishes to earn his forgiveness, the Florida governor would have to “kiss my ass, a lot.”

For now, it appears that the adequate ass kissing has yet to begin.

No, he would just be vindictive and all about MTGA instead MAGA. The source is highly unreliable, and one has to wonder why DeSantis keeps being pulled back into the conversation. Shouldn’t we be focusing on the upcoming election at this point?

He didn’t drain it the first go around. If you’re expecting it in a round 2, I hope you are prepared to be disappointed.

What kind of person believes Rolling Stone pronouncements just by merely reading them?

Absolutey, Ron ondeed politically csstrated himsef by beong a mouse on a shonge going down river while shouting he was the Titanic.

Yes he was a Titanic....a sinking cedar shingle that made a lot of noise.

DeSanctus merely suspended his campaign , he is waiting tio see if The Donald will tnk before the convention.He is betting on a brokered convention, like Nikki Haley.

INstead of supporting Trump he is snipong Trump , hoping that lwfare wil tke The Donald down.

DeSanctus is a sleeze bag, proving he never will be president.

Angry Trumpers have lost their (bleep) over the possibility that Trump might pick RDS. So they’re desperately grabbing onto anything that furthers their hate.

This Rolling Stone article served their need as an outlet to let loose their anger, hatred and blind rage against DeSantis.

If Trump loses this year, even within the GOP no one will really care what he has to say anymore. The stench of loser will be too strong to everyone but his most ardent dead-enders.

So DeSantis would be wise to wait until the results of the election this November.

Desantis STOPPED Trump from Sneaking a Bill thru the FL House that had FL Residents PAY 5 million of his Legal Bills .We could lose the state if the Dems Boast that outrageous Move 24-7 this Summer and FALL .

Since when did Trump have the power to do anything in the Florida legislature?

Meanwhile, DeSantis literally passed a bill that allowed him to run for President without resigning the Governor's Seat, as had been required previously per statute.

Shame. DeSantis is fine leader. I would support him as VP but I don’t think Trump picks a man as VP. Trump needs a woman on the ticket.

Trump has better things to do than worry about trying to hurt RDS.


That he does, but it doesn’t mean he won’t spend time doing it.

Ron castrated himself. Trump doesn’t need to waste his time.

Voters would have been wise to move on this cycle and give us a shot at avoiding a compete and total wipeout. We’re stuck with the titanic.
