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.
If you are saying that because I am old I will soon not be around.
That is a true Statement.
But one never knows what freak accidents can happen to younger generations.
I know that it is bad karma to wish that on someone else. So be careful
what you wish for on someone else. It could come back on you.
You can thank congress for that...4epublican leadership always puts time limits on tax cuts...that way they can use it as an issue so you’ll vote for them. President Trump would have made them permanent...
A cult of patriots. Pay attention.
I do not wish you dead. And not because of karma but because this is a chat room and emotions on politics always are passionate. It’s like this every primary especially presidential. Everyone here knows the stakes are high and want to the country to succeed. No mistakes.
I love seeing Pence with only two percent.
You sound like James Carville.
“Why shouldn’t Trump rub his face in the mess he created?”
Right. He betrayed Trump and he betrayed his constituents. Said he wouldn’t run against Trump, but he is. Said he would stay full term as Governor, but he won’t. Kind of “Pence Light”.
It wouldn’t have killed him to wait four more years, at which time probably he would have been a shoo-in. I wonder who’s pushing him harder, the GOPe, or Ms. I-wanna-be-FLOTUS Jill Casey?
“Parroting a guy who sells pillows for a living is no way to go through life.”
Disparaging a guy who has sacrificed many millions of dollars for the sake of fighting election fraud is pretty low. What have YOU done to help save America? How many millions of dollars have YOU given? How much of your time have YOU given?
You hate Trump more than you like America, and that level of TDS is pathetic. The fact that you’re OK with cheating is astounding.

“If voting changed anything it would be illegal.”. - (again) George Carlin
Quoting Trey Gowdy. How low FR has sunk. Waxing eloquent with that arrogant omniscient demeanor, but ineffective.
“Casey DeSantis”
That would be “JILL Casey DeSantis” — another power-hungry Jill. Many believe she’s driving the campaign train because she has the personality and charisma in the marriage. Maybe she should just run herself.
“Trump is really very thin skinned.”
Wow. Thanks for pointing that out! We had no idea, because he sure wasn’t thin skinned in 2016. /s
Oh? He agrees that trump screwed the working class too. Interesting. Trump’s lucky the working class are clueless about their taxes going up in 2025.
How ie “the Beast” doing? Seems more like a scared little bunny rabbit to me.
