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.
“A lot of Trump supporters know he is going to lose a general election.”
Where do you come up with such nonsense? The only question is whether there will be enough fraud to steal it again.
“PT needs to somehow carry PA to win.”
Trump cannot win PA. Not only will the Philadelphia Democrat turnout machine be out in full force again (ala Fetterman), the suburban GOP women that abandoned Trump in 2020 are not coming back. DeSantis could make inroads there and have a real shot at taking PA.
I’m here for amusement. If you’re here in hopes of participating in a fair and open election, you’re about 35 years too late.

Gotta love this guy.
Big election coming up and you expect the top candidate not to talk about his opponents? Especially the weasel he endorsed who now opposes Trump?
Maybe you're a bit slow, but if you go into politics in a bitterly divided country like this, you better expect to take heavy flack. Especially if you're with the party who lined up to stab Trump in the back.
Thank you for saying the obvious.
Love DQ in my small town!
Love our President Trump!
So nominate a collaborator “conservative” globalist who the Swamp will let win ?
DeSantis endorced trump in 2020. Not his fault he could get the job done.
You love Biden. It’s so obvious. Your almost giddy.
Oh for sure. If the cult of trump finds anyone out of step, it’s a mortal sin.
That’s sick and why people believe it’s a cult. DeSantis has every right to take on the three time loser.
But he leaves Tim Scott and others alone.
Where do you come up with such nonsense?
LOL. Here.
You’re easily amused. Who around here, supports Trump but knows he’s going to lose?
The ONLY thing President Trump is obsessed about is making America great again!
“What is Trump gonna do different this time to stop the steal?”
Wrong question...what are YOU going to do to stop the steal?
Yep. Did a great job on those tax cuts for the rich which are permanent. but specifically put a sunset date for the rest in 2025. Yeah real america first. Can’t wait for the tax increases to take effect and the excuses that will be legendary in excusing trump. It will be a laugh riot for sure.
You Love Bud Light.
You are clever. Good grief. I’m grateful you are ancient.
