Trump uses Tim Scott’s 2024 launch to swipe at DeSantis
The Hill ^ | 05/22/2023 | BRETT SAMUELS

Posted on 05/22/2023 9:06:24 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Former President Trump on Monday welcomed Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) to the 2024 Republican presidential primary, using Scott’s entry into the race to chide another rival: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R).

“Good luck to Senator Tim Scott in entering the Republican Presidential Primary Race,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “It is rapidly loading up with lots of people, and Tim is a big step up from Ron DeSanctimonious, who is totally unelectable.”

Trump noted that he and Scott worked together to establish opportunity zones, an investment incentive included in the 2017 tax cut legislation passed by Republicans and signed into law by Trump.

The problem is that Trump needs to have the middle of the road vote to win the election. It is not enough for him to win the nomination, he needs to win the Presidential election. If he offends the middle of the road voter and he loses the Presidential election, we will get what we deserve.

No one has done more to stop abortions then Trump in history. Your man desanctomonious just signed a law making abortion legal in Florida.

This proves how slimy you are.

DeSantis took unrestricted abortion in Florida and signed a 15 week ban in his first term. Then he just signed a 6 week ban

Only in your pea mind is that support for abortion.

Donald J. Trump swipes at Ron DeSantis, mostly help the Ron DeSantis campaign.

Trump swipes on Twitter, contributed to the 2020 election loss.

Trump can still win the 2024 Republican nomination AND win the 2024 election, by reducing unforced errors re his self-discipline.

Instead of a swipe, consult with Jesus, on how to write down what issue has caused Trump to get wound up. And then, write about what Trump thinks are good courses of action by himself and his future administration, regarding the issue.

“Tim Scott, who came out for cuts to Social Security and Medicare right before the 2022 midterms is praised by Trump.

Trump goes more left every day.”

Funny, but... I could have sworn I’ve seen Trump accuse DeSantis of wanting to cut SSN and Medicare. I guess it’s totally different with someone like Scott doing it.

Let me translate this latest Trumpism.

Good luck, Tim....since you’re not even a miniscule threat to my campaign run. But if you were, you can bet I’d be calling you “little Timmy”, along with other well-earned slurs.

Right. Everything good is because of Trump and everything bad is because Trump got bad advice. "

Trump will never be president again due tohis lack of character, which he exhibits everyday.

Trump has only attacked the conservative in the primary. He praises or is hands-off the RINOs.

Yes Trump is descending into this kind of insanity day by day.

It is a pity. He really was a good President.

Thanks to DJT’s obsessive petulance regarding Ron DeSantis, we will get stuck with Biden for four more years.

“Right. Everything good is because of Trump and everything bad is because Trump got bad advice. “

It’s....like they think he’s God-like. The adoration and worship is creepy....and the wrath they show to anyone Trump bashes is, too. Cultish behavior.
