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.
Then why does trump care? He seriously has DeSantis living in his brain. He’s obsessed.
Biden beat Trump from the basement: 306 to 232
He senses blood. Like a great boxer, Trump knows the Meatball is on the ropes and it’s time to knock him out.
DeSantis previously stated he would not run for Pres. if Trump ran in 2024. So much for that.
He would have been better off supporting Trump in 2024, and running in 2028. If he had supported Trump, Trump might have picked him as the VP which would have boosted his chances in 2028.
2020 was stolen, but do carry on!
—> Then why does trump care?
Because Trump will play 110% through the last second of the 4th Quarter.
—> Biden beat Trump
You left out the massive fraud part
“Biden beat Trump from the basement: 306 to 232”
I suspect Biden had very little to do with that.
Biden won't have to cheat to beat Trump in 2024.
Yep. What I was gonna say......it worked for biden, so.....

Thank you for your wisdom Carnac the Magnificent!
81 million ballots with no crowds and sparsely attended campaign events. Impressive. Winning
only 1 of the so-called bell weather counties and 17% overall. Statistically impossible really but you go ahead.
Show me one successful legal challenge in any court that established that the 2020 presidential election was stolen.
Parroting a guy who sells pillows for a living is no way to go through life.
I don’t think elections matter any longer.
All of America saw the fraud when vote counting was stopped in the middle of the night - all in battleground states where Trump was well ahead - only to resume with "new" votes running heavily in Biden's favor to put him over the top.
Show me one other presidential election since 1788 where that also happened.
Our judicial system, on every level including the Justice Department, is woefully corrupt and not an indicator of fact. The countless 1000s of affidavits filed by voters are the best barometer of voter fraud, if you are interested.
FR needs to remember this on every Trump thread.
He needs to pickup at least 5 states and attacking Republicans isn’t going to help him.
