Former President Donald Trump took a swipe at Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis at a rally on Saturday night referring to him as "Ron DeSanctimonious" in what could be a sign of growing tension between the two potential presidential candidates.

“ Please stop Mr President.…”
*********************************
Mega dittos! That does NOTHING to help Trump and may well hurt him.
Not this year they don’t.
The demonrats are the handmaids of Satan We need every republican even Graham, Collins, Lee, and McTurtle.
That said Ted.Cruz became one of Trumps most faithful legislative allies.so.DeSantis can too.
Trump should be about ensuring the demonrats are obliterated. Many of the upper level of the demomrat.establishment and elements of academia and the media.need to in prison, on death row.
But deSantis has said nothing negative about Trump. Because deSantis doesn’t genuflect at Trump’s altar is a reason for Trump to go after him? He looks small and unsure by doing so and the crowd did not give him the response he likely expected. The more Trump does things like this the more it seems he wants to MTGA rather than MAGA.
Speaking of inner circles, did you know before hand those inner circle Republicans in D.C. were going to stab Trump in the back while doing everything they could to undermine him? If so, how did you know this?
If DeSantis runs against Trump, I'll write a check for the max for DeSantis. If you think that would make me a Democrat...I don't care. You're a nobody to me anyway.
Of all the Republicans DeSantis has been the best representative of conservative values. Trump’s comment was uncalled for
We don’t know what happened to cause this STARTLING throwaway line by President Trump, but I do know I rolled my eyes and said...OH boy, here comes Legacy press with the ONE WORD that will jazz them up.
And sure enough. Well, I love and respect both of them. I am not going to pass judgment until I know what happened.
I must say, though, it appears to me that lately Ron is pulling away from Trump. Maybe I’m wrong. As Rob Schmitt says: “Let’s check it out.”
“ But deSantis has said nothing negative about Trump”
Wow.
Ok
The media says DeSantis is Trump’s primary competition and DeSantis doesn’t deny it. You’re going to say that’s not DeSantis being against trump? Where all DeSantis has to do to stop this rivalry is something good aboutTrump?
I’ve been there since he turned his presidency over to Fauci and Birx and shut down the country. Then he tried to throw Massie under the bus for questioning the absolutely insane spending. Then when GA opened up first, he threw Kemp under the bus. Then he he pushed those totally worthless vaccines.
People don’t want to admit it, but he is a loser. I will still vote for him if he is the nominee though.
It’s an easy issue that the Democrats will use against Trump also if their nominee is someone younger, which is almost certain. I don’t think the country as a whole is going to want someone pushing 80 in 2024.
Trump 2024, Lake 2028.
lol...You’ve been a card carrying Trump hater forever...Don’t worry, after the Trump era you can go back to supporting insider career politicians for president. That’s the ticket!
Don’t like what I have to say? Then prove it wrong. But snide comments just show what you are - a person to be henceforth ignored
You want him to genuflect. Saying nothing is not the same as saying something. And I’m not sure having another 78 year old running for POTUS is such a great idea. And yeah Trump’s in good shape now but in two years, maybe not. And if he’s fearful of deSantis maybe he’s not the candidate we think he is.
I’ll pick Desantis over Trump at this point. He is a better administrator/dragon slayer/swamp drainer. He killed palm beach/miami voter fraud early on and everything else. Trump has a large conversation. But most stuff he did was gone in the blink of an eye. He is still not building a cabinet that can run DC into the ground.
Pollster Rich Baris on twitter tonight. McCarty, McConnell, Paul Ryan and key Republican donors have been working behind the scenes to get DeSantis to challenge Trump in 2024, and end MAGA basically. Trump found out and is angry, since he got DeSantis election Governor...
Baris says if DeSantis doesn’t go along, next call is to Youngkin, then Haley and Pompeo... the swamp is hard at work and its not just never Trumpers.... its also why McConnel did a lot of non-funding of senate candidates, because they were “Trump Candidates”...
Regardless, Trump should have waiting until after Tuesday to start the public fueding.
Trump needs to STFU and go away. He might be able to win a primary, he’s not winning the general... too much baggage and too many negatives. If he’s smart, he’d be the king-maker. Back Ron D, and a good female running mate.
Very called for. Trump is running and so is Desanctimonius. The Rally Snub makes it clear. He’s trying to stay “pure” for the establishment.
O'Dea is the one who violated the Reagan commandment, when he trashed Trump on CNN (and mentioned DeSantis as somebody he would support).
DeSantis then returned the favor and endorsed the anti Trumper, CNN propagandist and Bushbot, Joe O'Dea.
Apparently DeSantis doesn't care that O'Dea violated Reagan's commandment, and neither do you. Yet you lecture Trump, who simply responded.
Does that include all the Republicans who lined up to stab Trump in the back?
