Former President Donald Trump went scorched earth on Florida Governor Ron DeSantis after he weighed in on his potential indictment in the Stormy Daniels case brought by prosecutors in New York.
Trump, in a post on Truth Social, raised questions about DeSantis’s sexuality and once again peddled his groomer smear against the Florida Republican who is seen as a potential presidential candidate in 2024.
“Ron DeSanctimonious will probably find out about FALSE ACCUSATIONS & FAKE STORIES sometime in the future, as he gets older, wiser, and better known, when he’s unfairly and illegally attacked by a woman, even classmates that are “underage” (or possibly a man!),” Trump seethed. ‘I’m sure he will want to fight these misfits just like I do!”
Trump also included a picture from an article suggesting the worst about DeSantis’s conduct with “underage” young people.
Trump’s scorched earth remarks came hours after DeSantis made snide comments about the former president while addressing the possibility Trump will be indicted this week over the Stormy Daniels hush money scandal.
“I don’t know what goes into paying hush money to a porn star or to secure silence over some time of alleged affair. I just – I can’t speak to that,” DeSantis told reporters on Monday. “But what I can speak is that you have a prosecutor who is ignoring crimes happening every single day in his jurisdiction and he chooses to go back many, many years ago to try to use something about porn star hush money payments. You know, that’s an example of pursuing a political agenda.” **/

“Did he pay hush money and was she a porn star???”
From all accounts she received hush money and acted in pornographic films.
The remarks DeSantis made today were clever and reminiscent of the type of comment Trump might have made in 2016 or even Rush Limbaugh would make from time to time on his show. Factually correct and damning. DeSantis pointed out the obvious that he has no experience with hush payments to porn actresses. He also questioned and criticized the weaponization of the law by the prosecutor.
Lest anyone forget Trump is a grown man responsible for his own actions. If he was associating with a porn actress, and having the corrupt attorney he hired pay the porn actress hush money, it is no ones fault but his own.
It may be the prosecutor is biased against Trump and has been using prosecutorial discretion to investigate and harass Trump. This may or may not be “fair” but it is legal. Rightly or wrongly our system gives prosecutors tremendous discretion. Lest we forget during the 2016 election Trump played poltics by telling crowds if elected as president he would direct the DOJ to investigate and prosecute Hillary Clinton. Once elected once again used his discretion not to push for her prosecution.
The assertion Trump had a sexual relationship with Stormy Daniels is unproven and irrelevant. What we do know is he had some kind of relationship with the porn actress, and whatever happened in that relationship made him vulnerable to extortion. If he had not engaged in some kind of relationship with a woman he knew was a porn star, there would have been no extortion, no hush payments and no possibility of a grand jury indictment for the payment. Ultimately, Trump owns his behavior, as DeStantis implied today’s remarks. When you play with fire, you take the risk of being burned.
He’s running again ...
And endorsed hundreds of MAGA candidates..
He’s fighting the Dems and Your Republican party..
That’s the war.?
The R vs D Con is dead..
Or go back to Bush, Dole,Bush,McCain, Romney ..
Because of those Rs and the Bush-Clinton-Bush-Obama era, you got Trump.
Spied on from day one by Your R & D Govt Trump
Big T didn’t say ayone was gay. The fact that you would think that is what is grotesque. You know the guy from CPAC was just falsely accussed by a man, don’t you? T was just informing and warning him what COULD and WILL happen to him next if he thinks this case in the bannana republic of NY is not a real issue and just some kind of a sideshow. And the pic of the beer and the students, it is the NY Times that broke the story on Ron partying with underage girls while teaching at Georgia School, where was your outrage then?
And ironically, it is DeSantis who is the one firing with both barrels at these people.
Whiners? That’s all Trump has been doing for the last few years.
My job isn’t to run the country. And my job also isn’t to cheerlead for a billionaire. My job is to keep a roof over my family’s head and food on their table. My duty is to vote to the officials who will best represent my family’s interests and our beliefs. That vote is no longer for Donald Trump.
Is he still fighting though? Or is he demanding we fight for him?
From where I sit DeSantis is actually the one doing the fighting. He’s the one removing the Soros-funded prosecutors like this one from office in Florida.
You are joking, right? I love how people like you criticize when you know you would be curled up in the fetal position unable to leave your bedroom if you had even 1/8th of what’s been thrown at Trump, thrown at you.
That’s nice. Perhaps Trump would fo the same if he were Governor.
I’m sorry that you no longer like the only President who will ever in your lifetime give a rat’s azz about you.
Until you run a country and not just your little trailer home, maybe you should keep your mouth shut.
Trump proved he doesn’t give a rats azz about you or me when he shut down our country and begged us to take his “beautiful” vaccine. That was the moment he lost me. So you should ask yourself what exactly you’re fighting for right now.
>>That vote is no longer for Donald Trump

Well, good luck to you.
I will never vote for whoever the Bush Crime Family and their Swamp monsters back, meaning I will never vote for DeSatan.
“Until you run a country and not just your little trailer home, maybe you should keep your mouth shut.”
Are Twumpers getting angwy?
“I will never vote for whoever the Bush Crime Family and their Swamp monsters back, meaning I will never vote for DeSatan.”
Nothing about DeSantis or any of the actions he has taken in Florida scream “Swamp Monster” - would a swamp monster remove Soros DA’s from office? Would a swamp monster push for bans on vax mandates? Get real man.
This is sad to watch. Trump…..please go away.
But the chorus attacking and name-calling everyone who has the temerity to question anything Trump says or does can’t possibly have an impact FR fund-raising.
As said a whiner.
Sitting on the sideli9nes bitching and moaning.
Your job is to just vote............and bitch.
So, you’ve learned that governors have some power in their state?
And so did Nancy Pelosi in DC..
Any Nancy Pelosi’s running around in FL govt?
Any D Swamp and R Swamp critters like Schumer and McConnell and Ryan McCain, Romney and Comey,McCabe,Wray hanging out in FL govt like in the DC Swamp?
He’s willing to go back there again, for no pay, to fight that sort of scum..
You don’t have to..
Enjoy the campaign season!
Well, I didn’t realize you are actually Elmer Fudd. I thought you were a real person, a not very bright person but not a cartoon character. Now, I understand.
