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.”
Only “Good”? F off.
Calm down. The only people paying attention 1.5 years out are squish Republicans and Desanctimonious fluffers.
Trump is great at dealing with competition. He crushes it.
Since ya don’t seem interested in a historic video of Trump nuking the Clintons, I’ll post it anyway for the vast audience here.
This video is worth the watch. Clinton’s skin was crawling.

Like flies to dog sh!t as soon as Mini MAGA announces ( If he even has the balls to do so, which I doubt ) the GOPe, Fox et al will jump on the Desantis boat AND SINK IT. Desantis will quickly collect all the wrong friends - in a hurry.
” Jeb was shown in a picture with Ron so that makes him a Bushie? Very weak.

In 2004 George Soros backed Trump building Trump Tower in Chicago to the tune of $160,000,000.
Why is the video cut short? Where is it from? What question was he asked? Do you have a link to the whole video or a transcript? Thank-you.
You wanted the link of DeSantis stating he wanted to be like Paul Ryan. You got it. You have the link, go ask the author. Report back.
The burden of proof is on you. I don’t belong to truth social.
I appreciate you providing a link. That said there is no context, no source, no year?
Re: 210 - the person who posted the link on Truth Social is intellectually lazy. As you said no date, no context, etc. No better than a lazy lib.
You’re the one who wanted the link of DeSantis stating he wanted to be like Paul Ryan. You got it.
If you got a bitch, take it up with who ever did the video.
Exactly.
You made the request, you got it. Now it’s not good enough....Too bad.
I didn’t make the video. Again, since you’re so upset over DeSantis saying he wanted to be like Paul Ryan, take it up with whoever recorded it.
I’m not upset, infact I told you I appreciated you providing a link.
I generally do not put stock in cut videos, less so if there is no source, date, et al. That is not your fault.
I don’t belong to Truth Social and it appears to have been posted by Trump.
Well, if it was posted by Trump, you can bet it’s legitimate.
Hey, since it was DeSantis who said he wanted to be like Paul Ryan, why not ask him? Go to the source.
Good idea.
Re: 215 - Agreed.
Cut videos like that (with the lack of date, time, context) are often used by people that are trying to deceive. It’s a similar technique used by liberal mouth breathers when they showed a dry short clip of Saddam Hussein shaking hands with Donald Rumsfeld and claiming something was amiss. Except now the right is doing it.
And let’s be frank. President Trump at one time liked Paul Ryan. Meaning (obviously) that people’s attitudes about their contemporaries, etc. can change over time.
What this really says to me - that rightly or wrongly some people are concerned about a DeSantis presidential run.
Those are his accomplishments, not his shtick.
His shtick is childish and whatever charm it may have had is over. People are done with it.
The worst part is his personality, nothing else, destroyed him and has descended the world into chaos. Not that he wasn’t facing coups and such but this is where things are.
Only a complete d1ck blames the victim. Screw you pal.
