President Trump had harsh words this week for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), after the presidential hopeful campaigned in New Hampshire, courting hardcore MAGA voters in the key battleground state.
Trump wrote on Truth Social, “Ron DeSanctimonious is getting absolutely ‘demolished’ for yesterday’s performance in New Hampshire. No crowds, no enthusiasm, no interest.”
The president claimed that the DeSantis campaign “is in total disarray.” He also slammed the Florida leader for hurting his chances to run for president in 2028.
“See, loyalty does matter with Patriots!” Trump remarked.
Many MAGA voters have seen DeSantis’s early 2024 bid for the presidency as a sign of disloyalty to President Trump.
For reference, Trump endorsed DeSantis’s gubernatorial bid in 2018, giving then-candidate DeSantis an immediate 12-point boost that breathed new life into his crippled campaign, as reported by RSBN.
On Tuesday, DeSantis and his family marched in the Wolfeboro Independence Day Parade in New Hampshire, walking through rain and greeting residents along the parade route.
However, DeSantis’s campaigning in New Hampshire hasn’t seemed to move the needle for his campaign. The Granite State has remained solid Trump country as the 2024 GOP primaries approach.
MAGA Inc. spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt told OAN this week, “Governor DeSantis has only come to our ‘First in the Nation’ primary state a couple of times…grassroots voters really value the deep connection with the candidate they’re going to vote for, and there is no candidate who has a greater connection with the people of New Hampshire than Donald Trump.”
According to RealClear Politics, Trump is leading by a whopping 28 points in the most recent St. Anselm poll, and he is leading by a massive 32 points in the state via data from an American Greatness poll.
Overall, Trump holds an average 26.6-point lead across all 2024 Republican primary polling in New Hampshire.
What is Trump gonna do different this time to stop the steal?
So far its just been more of the same old rhetoric.
What will Trump do? Absolutely nothing. They will steal it again. This is what they’ve been doing since 1960. Pray that the entire mess collapses.

Excellent point. With a couple of exceptions, most of the states Trump would need to flip (PA,MI,WI,AZ) remain firmly in Democrat control (including the voting apparatus). NV has a new GOP governor, but it is unknown whether he can correct the flawed mail in voting apparatus there. GA is controlled by Republicans, but since Trump primaried the sitting governor, he shouldn’t expect much help there.
The only way to overcome the Democrat turnout machines in those states is to overwhelm them with turnout of independents and moderates in the suburbs. It can be done, as witnessed by what Glenn Youngkin did in VA, when he flipped a blue state.
NH is out of reach for ANY Republican.
“Why would Trump supporters want a “globalist” DeSantis as VP?”
And why would Trump want a “deep-state stooge” as his running mate?
Trump is going to win your State overwhelmingly l, he needs to win mine to be President.
Are they purging or suspending DeSantis supporters here like they did to Cruz supporters like me? I think I might still be in some stupid “timeout” or something. Just checking in after many years of not missing getting cancelled by a “conservative“ site.
“...he needs to win mine to be President.”
I wonder if he knows you have control of the election.
NH has a Republican governor, who won overwhelmingly in his last election. The right Republican can carry the state, but it won’t be Trump. Additionally, quite a few NH Democrats are angry at Biden for dissing them in the primary schedule for South Carolina. They may wish to make a statement to Biden about that disrespect.
PT needs to somehow carry PA to win.
Reagan won two landslide because he didn’t piss off 2/3 of people he desperately needed to win, and Reagan was more Conservative.
Then what is the point of running hi. At all? BLOAT.
Exactly, Trump had everything to do with that…losing.
He bettet have a superior ballot harvesting operation, cause you can bet Shapiro will
Shapiro wants to be President soon.
Biden beats DeSantis by 8. Live Freeor Die is dead.
The Country wasn’t as infected by Liberalism then.
I would find it really pleasing if Trump would start running against Biden. I don’t think Trump has ever heard of Ronald Reagan or the 11th commandment. If only be knew how off-putting this was to his supporters.
I can only assume he is being advised by the people who cost him the 2020 vote.
I was able to actually read salient decisions and orders through my PACER account and it is evident that your “authority” bears no relation to the contention that 2020 election was stolen.
But congratulations on making a false claim and wasting my time. If this occurred in court, you'd be facing Rule 11 sanctions.
Another fool who thinks Biden won. Figuring out the election was stolen is an easy one. If you get the easy ones wrong, there must not be much you get right.
