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.” **/

Cohen paid daniels out of his own account,without trump’s knoeledge or approval says cohen’s own attorney. Trump paid cohen back after he was informed that cohen had done so. Daniels saw an opportu ity to fleece. Off the record, Iwould not be surprised if it comes out later that cohen the sleaze was in on the sting.
Trump was out of his area of expertise in dealing with COVID, and he had to rely on those who had dedicated their lives in that pursuit. Unfortunately, as was the came in others he selected, he chose poorly.
Would a conservative get in bed with home insurance companies and make it very difficult for people on fixed incomes to buy homeowner’s insurance? No.
Mrs. K
Yes, I would. I would be extremely pissed if I wasn’t even a pedophile!
You have to realize that anyone that does not bow down and declare undying loyalty to the DONALD is a Bushie, a swamp monster, a RINO, a traitor and any number of other epithets you’d care to name.
You would think that Trump and his supporters would be trying to persuade and win over voters, or at least convince supporters of other candidates to support Trump if he does win the nomination. Instead, they seem determined to drive away even many who have voted for Trump in the past. The same people who openly declare in one breath that they will not vote for the GOP candidate in 2024 if it is not Trump will turn around and tell you you MUST support Trump if he is the nominee in the next breath. And some how they believe this will work in their favor.
Interesting take.
Spot on.
Trump got 12 million more votes in his second term..
He was more popular.
He was also robbed.
Which is why he is running again and not governing today.
Feel free to abandon Trump.
MAGA hasn’t forgotten the steal.
That stolen election has had consequences around the world..
Agreed.
“ I know it is a trying time, but you have the 2024 election in the bag. ”
That’s delusional!
And how much of that has he brought on himself? I wouldn't know, as I've only been married once, and we're going on 35 years. The Donald and I live in different worlds, but I think I'd be able to leave my bedroom, if only to set an example for my kids and grandkids.
Trump never did fit my definition of a leader, as drilled into me in the Army: a leader is one who takes responsibility for everything his unit does, or FAILS TO DO. Sure, he takes responsibility for the good, but always blames someone else when things go badly. You cannot deny that.
Good grief. So you like all these fake accusations and lawsuits, etc. etc. etc.? ........ but we ignore the Biden crimes. If you do, then you’re no conservative. I might add, you can’t really care about this country if you do.
yep ... kinda dumb ...
Bingo
Perhaps you should take your own advice.
Yep...
I spent a lot of time on this response. Wrote a lot of things. Deleted them. Rewrote. Deleted again.
After all the editing, the first line is all that remains.
That ship has sailed, FRiend.
See ya. DeSantis did throw out insults today.
Why would I do that? Oh, and mind your own business.
I no longer have a dog in the hunt, I'm now in a 75 % Democrat district, with no expectation of representation on my behalf. So my money and my available time goes to the True Texas Project, a grass roots organization in Texas with over 20 chapters, and an abiding distrust of RINOs.
