Trump: NY Post and Salena Zito are "fake news"
Truth Social ^ | February 19, 2023 | Donald Trump

Posted on 02/20/2023 5:22:31 AM PST by hcmama

In writer Salena Zito’s Fake News “puff piece” about DeSantis, which supposedly appeared in the dying New York Post, which is way down in readership just like FoxNews is way down in Ratings, why doesn’t she mention that he wants to cut Social Security & Medicare, loves losers like Jeb Bush, Paul Ryan, and Karl Rove, and it getting CLOBBERED in the polls by me. DeSantis is a RINO who is trying to hide his past. I don’t read the New York Post anymore. It has become Fake News, just like Fox & WSJ!

This is apparently what has Trump so enraged at Zito:

"DeSantis: People don’t want ‘agenda being shoved down their throats’"

Petty and adolescent.

Trump seems to be the only one that doesn’t know his brand is dead.

He trusts The NY Times. It’s why he gave loads of his time to Times reporter Maggie Haberman, for her book Confidence Man.

Conservatives used to blast establishment GOP for wanting to attend Georgetown cocktail parties, but Trump has the same affliction.

Salena Zito was the first, and basically the only, weekly paycheck scribbler who “got” Trump, or rather, who moved among and understood the Democrats in Western PA and Ohio, and later in Michigan, who were the reason Trump got to be President in the first place.

I no longer watch or read any news Corp for any news.

trump’s “operation warped speech” against desantis for doing things right for us floridians and our children is unwarranted and makes trump look like a jealous petty crybaby...

He inexplicably adores Maggie Haberman. He gives her all this access, she trashes him, he then belittles her looks and calls her "fake news."

Rinse and repeat.

The term “RINO” has completely lost its meaning except as an insult.

DeSantis isn’t a RINO. He’s a Republican from top to bottom — which means he is owned and managed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and is tasked with promoting their globalist agenda.

It’s actually TRUMP who is the “Republican in Name Only.” That’s why I’ve been such a strong supporter of his.

For Trump to turn on Selena Zito in this way really is a window into his thinking.

Zitotook is so much crap for explaining Trump's appeal to Middle America. At one point she took down most of her social media. She does profile of RDeSantis and now Trump regards her as a traitor.

What decent person would ever want to work for such a man?

I don’t know if Trump wants to go to Georgetown cocktail parties or not.

But after all we’ve been through, I think he evaluates talent through a “is he rich” lens, whereas most of us understand that some people who are rich (quite a few of them, in fact) are self-interested conniving scum who would sell their grandmothers - and their country - without a second thought.

I’d been worried about this for a bit, but on April 9 of this year, after the horrendous endorsement of “Dr. Oz” guaranteed the election of a Democrat to replace a Republican in a tight Senate, I’ve started to think about all the bad hires and bad endorsements in a different way.

This isn’t a DeSantis plug - I agree that he’s a globalist. But I’m only a few years younger than DJT, and I can tell you that at our age, it’s really hard to change whatever preconceptions you use to understand the world.

Preconceptions that lead you to pardon Charles Kushner instead of the January 6 protesters who shed blood for you - for example.

This is the kind of backstabbing you can expect from Trump...if you support him.

Just stop it Donny. Again, you are making unforced errors.

Well...probably because none of those things are born out by any facts.

I'll vote for Trump in the general if he wins the nomination, of course - he was a good president. But trying to justify and excuse this crap from him is exhausting. If only he'd spend this much energy attacking the Left instead of conservatives.

Guess the ownership of the publisher of DeSantis’ upcoming book...

News Corp.

We know Trump isn’t Deep State.

We don’t the same for DeSantis.

Trump is attacking DeSantis more than Biden, which makes Trump unqualified.

I suspect that if DeSantis (if he runs) simply ignores DJT and refuses to respond or hit back at all that he’ll walk away with the primaries

This is said to see, I put a lot into and strongly supported Trump and seeing him allow his narcissism take full control is greatly diminishing his legacy

The letter after the name means jack anymore.

The only reason political parties still exist is to give voters the illusion of choice.

A pol is either loyal to our former republic or to Deep State.

We know Trump isn’t Deep State.

We can’t say the same for DeSantis.
