The screenshot that Trump reshared on Truth Social.Posted on 01/31/2023 8:34:10 AM PST by SoConPubbie
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!”
The screenshot that Trump reshared on Truth Social.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.”
Wait to see if Trump can win the primaries.
This was where Trump lost Georgia. Probably the worst mistake he made during his Presidency.
destroying desantis’s reputation isn’t going to help him in florida...
if the donald hates desantis so much he should sell maralargo and return to the open arms of new yawk city...
Yes I saw. Seems like a weak point for DT
NO ONE KNEW THE RIGHT THING TO DO AT FIRST!!
When Trump got Mar a Lago DeSantis was a teenager learning order of operations. Not sure Trump should have to sell his property because DeSantis has graduated
Trump is SO DAMN PETTY for such a successful man!! It’s NOT flattering for him! GROW UP, DONALD!
where’s the evidence that proves your claim about desantis being a liar?...
“The “Only Trumpers” are just as irrational and damaging to the conservative cause as are the “Never Trumpers”
Thank you. Too many Freepers have lost the value of objectivity.
See post #58 for a timeline of exactly who was responsible for the lockdowns...
I don’t have evidence that DeSantis is running if that’s what your asking. He’s positioning himself to run from what I can tell. That’s enough for Trump to act
I have always suspected that Trump and Kemp had agreed together, but at the last minute Trump caved in front of the press and threw Kemp under the bus for opening up, because he didn’t want President Fauci or VP Birx to criticize him.
First he accused evangelicals of disloyalty and now DeSantis, the most popular governor in the country.
I still say he loses every state he lost in 2020 with the addition of NC but at the rate he's going, I might just add FL and TX as well.
And today he's "truthing" about, wait for it... Stormy Daniels.
I'm starting to think he's a stalking horse for the Democrats. Getting Dems elected is the only "winning" he's been doing now for the past three election cycles.
I don’t trust anyone who’s spent their life in government and never held a private sector job outside government.
Seems odd some of you people can’t get enough of voting for people who can’t even relate to your world.
Trump needs to grow up, shut the hell up and start learning how to heed and hire good people rather than those who feed his out-of-control ego. He still exhibits characteristics of a loser who gives his enemies useful ammo.
your post #36...
you lumped desantis in with “politicians and liars”...
where’s the evidence that proves your claim that he’s a liar?...
He's definitely playing the part of a typical Democrat by constantly accusing DeSantis of things Trump is guilty of himself:
- DeSantis is guilty of lockdowns! (Trump initiated the nationwide lockdowns)
- DeSantis is a Globalist! (Trump has a staggering list of international companies and properties)
- DeSantis donors backed Paul Ryan! (Trump's biggest donor by far Adelson was also a huge Ryan donor)
- DeSantis is sanctimonious! (Trump is the KING of sanctimony)
ETC
he did close them eventually...but at first, he kept em open...i remember the histronics and the pearl clutching....
Feel free to vote for Jed Bush slick, or maybe another government career insider like DeSantis?
>>> “..about the vax stance...”
> that’s ancient history now...
So is the Nuremberg trials
