Trump sticks boot into DeSantis as Florida Gov's top PAC advisor and long-time friend 'steps down' days after disastrous presidential campaign launch
Dailymail ^ | May 28, 2023 | James Gordon

Donald Trump took to Truth Social to delight in the reported departure of Phil Cox, a key member of Republican rival Ron DeSantis' campaign staff

Phil Cox had been seen as a core staffer during DeSantis' 2022 gubernatorial reelection team and was among the campaign's first hires.

More recently, he served as a senior adviser to the Never Back Down super PAC that supported the governor's bid for his 2024 presidency run - but on Saturday night it appeared he was no longer with the DeSantis campaign.

'I'm an unpaid, volunteer adviser to Never Back Down and proud to support Governor DeSantis,' Cox reaffirmed in a statement to ABC News on Thursday.

So, maybe he step down, maybe he knew how dishonest the illegal campaign fund transfers that were happening were....

And it's interesting he claims to be unpaid.....

Was he unpaid when working on desantis' deceptive re-election for governor campaign?

Even if desantis says something about this, how are we to know if it's the truth or not?

You’re beginning to sound like Alex Lifeson’s acceptance speech at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

The only thing I get from this story is that Trump is a jerk who is very scared of DeSantis.

How many campaign managers did Trump have in 2016 before getting Kellyanne Conway to step forward.

Trump’s campaign in 2016 was chaotic to say the least, somehow he made it work...

These articles are silly, I could care less who is working for the candidates, what are they advocating for.

Rememberthe 4 years with Trump. No wars, USA was respected, nations returned our unfairly incarcerated citizens.

40 dolla oil, retooled military, right to try, new border fencing and on and on.

Trump did right for America.

Yes he did

But since he couldn’t get things codified into law, most of it was undone within 4 hours of Pedo Joe taking the Oaf of Office

Biden 80 years - November 20, 1942
Trump 76 years - June 14, 1946

A little less than four years between the two.

“ Biden 80 years - November 20, 1942
Trump 76 years - June 14, 1946”

Trump plays golf.
Biden needs his toes to count to 20.

That’s really sad...do you really think that?

That only gets him half way there. We don’t know
who will be VP with Trump but I assume Harris will
be the running mate with Biden. So at either ones
age we need to look at the VP as possibly being in
in the President slot at some point.

Agreed—when you focus on the wrong enemy you lose—every time.

The Democrats are working to turn the country into a dumpster fire—that needs to be the focus of all the Republican candidates.

.........lol, not too long ago I read somewhere about a guy saying to a former friend something like..........”well Ed (not his name), there was a day............not too long ago in fact......that the worst thing I could say about you was that you are a moron”.

But now, many agree, that “The Worst” thing I could say about you, given the incomprehensible, non sensical things you’re prone to say, is that you must be a DEMOCRAT!

You can fly all the Trump 2024 flags you want, wear all the red MAGA hats you own. But what good is Trump if he can’t get elected? Being a jerk along the way certainly doesn’t help him.

Yes, All Trump's fault, You need to Re-elect more RINOs/Commies. That will certainly fix all of your problems
