President Trump took a shot at Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) in a Sunday statement posted to Truth Social, touting his superiority in the polls and railing on DeSantis for his policies during the Covid pandemic.
“The revelations about Ron DeSanctimonious doing FAR WORSE than many other Republican governors, including that he unapologetically shut down Florida and its beaches, was interesting, indeed,” Trump wrote. “DJT leading BIG!!!”
The president also shared a picture from another Truth user on Monday that included screenshots of headlines written in 2020, comparing his Covid pandemic policy against Gov. DeSantis’s. “Remember this?” Trump commented. “Some Republican states got it right, Florida got it wrong!”
Trump’s remarks come after a busy weekend for the 45th president as he kicked off his 2024 presidential campaign on Saturday in Salem, New Hampshire, with a keynote address to the New Hampshire Republican State Committee. He also spoke at the South Carolina State House on Saturday afternoon, unveiling his leadership team in the Palmetto State.
“The Fake News Media was good yesterday in their coverage of my stops in New Hampshire and South Carolina,” Trump said on Truth Social. “Other than The Globalist Street Journal, which is rarely accurate or good, they said the day was really ‘amazing.’ The enthusiasm to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN has never been stronger.”
Trump has dominated primary presidential polling over the last few weeks, eclipsing Gov. DeSantis by double-digit margins among primary Republican voters. As reported by RSBN, a new poll from Premise found that 59 percent of Republicans preferred Trump as the Republican nominee in 2024, compared to only 24 percent who preferred DeSantis.
Trump also emerged the victor in the eyes of the American voters in a new Emerson College poll, which revealed that he had garnered 55 percent of support for the nomination, while Gov. DeSantis had accrued 29 percent.
President Trump told reporters onboard Trump Force One over the weekend that he would consider a presidential bid from DeSantis as a sign of disloyalty.
Trump stated, “He would have not been governor if it wasn’t for me – and that’s okay. Number one, he wouldn’t have gotten the nomination, and number two, he wouldn’t have beaten his Democrat opponent. So, then, when I hear he might run, you know, I consider that very disloyal.”
And Lindsey Graham praises Trump.
You’re not supposed to mention that ...
C’mon, Lindsey praise Satan if it would benefit him. And comparing the Bush crime family, I wouldn’t exactly call Lindsey a party heavy hitter.
Heavy hitters like the Bush globalist, who caused great problems, looted multiple trillions in American treasure and we won nothing but debt and death.
Your comment could’ve been written by somebody at the dump a few years ago. No more double standards. Quit making excuses, Trump has supported, endorsed and hired the swampiest critters around.
kinda preaches like jotato...
You bet, and the Republicans lined up to stab him in the back didn't they?
??
Yup.
Trump endorsed them again, after.
“I want someone who will fight for America.”
Like fixing elections, fixing school boards, thrashing woke corporations etc.?
Jeb was shown in a picture with Ron so that makes him a Bushie? Very weak.

Since you evaded the question, I’ll answer for ya.
Yes they did, and they did it starting day one of his administration, didn’t they? Didn’t matter if they were endorsed or not. Did it?
TBH, I can’t say what is real anymore. The more the left and right attack him, the more he rises and makes money. The entire charade works for all concerned.
I haven’t believed politicians hate each other since the Obama’s spent eight years beating up on Bush, only to find out Michelle loved him.
They fight, attack and name call. In the end it is sport to them and nothing personal.
It keeps us moving precisely where they want us and supporting issues and policies we might not otherwise.
All that ‘back-stabbing’ and Trump still endorsed many who did just that. Strange.
There is a video of DeSantis explaining to a reporter, stating, “I’d be someone like Paul Ryan”.
Do you find that a bit odd?

Do you have a link? I cannot find such video.
Oh look, there's low energy Jed Bush!
