Florida Governor Ron DeSantis responded to Donald Trump's recent attack on former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, saying that it was "really, really bad."
"Donald Trump, even his greatest supporters have acknowledged, had a tough time picking good people. He had a lot of terrible personnel decisions, people like Jerome Adams, his Surgeon General...so we know there was a tough record, but Kayleigh was one of the greatest selections. She did a fantastic job," DeSantis, who is also a 2024 Republican presidential candidate, said while appearing on the NH Journal podcast on Friday.
DeSantis added: "She's a Harvard-trained lawyer, she's an absolute killer, and she ate the press alive, and so for him [Trump] to be attacking her, I thought that was really, really bad."

>>>Ron the con is not a likeable person. He is stiff and cold and has no personality.>>>>
The Spammers don’t like him, I’ll agree. The people of Florida sure seemed to like him in the last election.
True statement.
>>>>Optimally, Trump could have decided against a 2024 run, or DeSantis could have waited until 2028. But here we are. Pissing and moaning about it for the next year and a half.>>>>
Yes. And I might add, I would have loved to have seen Trump win in 24 but he won’t with this thin skinned turn on everyone vitriol. I actually believe it can be salvaged. Stop the bullying, thin skinned, and focus on the Democrats. In fact.....other than the spammers, if Trump actually took Reagan’s 11th commandment advice, it would change everything.
The spammers would be bummed but they are creeps anyways.
“Attacking the person rather than the person’s faulty idea... is both wrong and nasty.”
Where do you people come from. I suppose you think that sounds highly intellectual.
Most of us don’t know, according to your lights, that slamming the endless numbers of psychopathic leaders throughout history is so, so wrong and nasty.
This is why I call them Trump cultists. They behave just like climate cultists or trans cultists.
Anyone who doesn't love Trump unconditionally is Deep State or a Never=Trumper or ______fill in the blank.
They have no FACTS, no FOUNDATION, just invectives.
To hear these creepy cultists slam McEnany, who did NOTHING wrong, is all you need to know about them.
As soon as Trump turns his ire at someone, they all jump on that bandwagon and destroy that person.
How is that any different from how the left operates?
Yes....it’s all about that isn’t it.
“True. It worked for him when he attached his Primary opponents in 2016. But Kayleigh isn’t an opponent, and it isn’t 2016.”
Ever hear of Meghan Kelly?
Nice to see the NeverTrumpers finally have their man who can defeat their biggest fear.
The ratpublicans have no future without US. Keep braying. You strengthen our resolve all day every day. Trump and done.
BTTT
Trump is acting like an out of control over-tired toddler and it’s not only unpresidential, it’s unseemly and childish. He’s acting like a thin-skinned bully more and more every day with these idiotic attacks on good people.
As a debate moderater megyn Kelly was an enemy with an agenda , bragged about it, and got what she deserved.
Hannity is feces to me.
Hannity helped Trump LIE about the only conservative candidate Pennsylvania had for US Senate primary so they could install their buddy, carpet-bagger, dual citizen, pro child genital mutilation Dr Azz as our nominee, resulting in Senator John Frankenstein Fetterman.
Hannity deliberately LIED on the air about the conservative and then refused to give her a segment to respond. That is contemptible.
—> Trump’s constant personal attacks make him look like a petty, insecure bully
Since you aren’t voting in America, and support Trudeaux, why would anyo be here listen to you??
As to calling people spammers, you're all over this thread as you see it fit to defend every criticism of DeSantis. I think that would make you a cultist.
He isn’t? Look at post 1. In Iowa Trump dropped 9 points from April to May, while DeSantis gained almost 5 of those points. In one month. DeSantis is starting to campaign, and the needle is starting to move.
Rob needs to get instructions from Rove, who in turn needs to poll and talk to his consultants. Then Rob says what they tell him 3-5 days later.
What these cultists do not understand is that what worked in 2016 will not work the same way in 2024.
In 2016, the economy was stable, no major issues and Hillary was very disliked.
Ihn 2024, people are hurting, they want solutions. Biden's approval rating is in the toilet, so the race should not even be close. But by not talking issues and harping on about 2020 and Russia Gate endlessly, people are looking elsewhere.
DeSantis' strategy is to talk solutions, not get into it directly with Trump. He is offering himself as the alternative to Trump, not as much on policy, but on leadership.
Does your label "NeverTrumpers" encompass those who voted for DJT three times already, yet prefer to support an alternate POTUS candidate in 2024? Curious minds want to know.
