In a Saturday Town Hall in Laconia, New Hampshire, Florida Governor and presidential candidate Ron DeSantis called out former President Donald J. Trump for his post on Truth Social saying the FBI should stay in D.C. and be given a "new and spectacular building."
SNIP>>>>>
It appears that DeSantis is intent on bringing the necessary fire to his opponents ahead of the January 23 primary in the state. DeSantis was joined by Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie, who introduced him and gave his reasons why he endorses DeSantis for President. The rest of the Town Hall and the governor's response to questions are worth a listen as he defines what leadership looks like.
SNIP>>>
DeSantis took to X and posted this to reinforce his salvo:
Donald Trump failed to drain the swamp so perhaps it is not surprising that he is seeking to deepen the swamp by building a massive new FBI building in DC.
Actually draining swamp requires taking power out of DC, not cementing power inside DC. https://t.co/Hu136bU5MI

He's not wrong. It's possible Trump is simply flame-throwing and attempting to use sarcasm to reinforce the point that the FBI needs to concentrate on actual crime. But advocating to leave the headquarters in D.C. and give them a new building, comes off as short-sighted and a bit tone-deaf; especially in light of Trump's own troubles with the federal law enforcement agency. A decentralized FBI would probably not have implemented the orders to raid Mar-a-Lago over the supposed misuse of classified documents. Too much political power and influence is deeply embedded in an agency that is supposed to be the law enforcement arm of the United States and separate from any political influence.

Ah, sadly too many have never understood Trump speak… they can only hear the hum of Harvard tone. Check out some of Will Rogers speak.. I grew up with this brand of communication.. others simply are unwilling and incapable…. Just keep bobbling your heads.
Drinking early it seems.. stop bearing false witness.
We need someone like Javier Milei in Argentina. He really is draining their swamp. As soon as he took office, he reduced the number of federal ministries by 50% (affecting transportation, public works, science, culture, territorial development & habitat, tourism, agriculture, and women’s affairs).
Milei didn’t build them large new buildings and watch people say he was playing 12-D chess. He just did what had to be done.
IS DeSANTIS BI-POLAR????
I’m not talking about what Trump said but rather what he did as POTUS. Just keep “bobbling your head” and ignoring it if you wish.
So how do YOU know when he’s being serious and when he’s throwing his enemies off base?
Let’s make sarcasm great again. Sarcasm scares insecure people like leftists. One of a multitude of TDS symptoms is the fear of sarcasm. Sure, Trump is not Walt Whitman but Trump’s sarcasm rings true.
Certainly deluded and has poor judgement
The best thing anyone can ever say about President Trump is he is not an Esau…. His love of country goes a long way with the Heavenly Father.. He is not a sell out! Trans-Republicans like yourself are exactly like Esau..along with those in the belly of Rome. Little sola scripture for those sleeping.
“Keep your friends close and your enemies closer”
Always good advice
I find Trump being a prophet to be a bit far fetched and totally detailed.
You have a serious reading comprehension problem. I NEVER called President Trump a prophet. Stupid cannot be fixed.. The Heavenly Father is in control…. He allows the devil and his peeps a season..then sudden destruction.. What I said is the best that can/could be said of President Trump is he is not an Esau..
Interesting aside. There are 7 trumps.. to mark time.. I see the man Trump as reminder of those trumps.. some say God works in mysterious ways… Christ declared He had foretold all things when he was for telling those 7 trumps..
But if you watch closely, he is. Look at his cabinet picks. Look at his legal picks early in the 2020 skirmish. Those are the actions of an Esau. But to say he isn’t is to put him in a phophetic pedestal.
My AI iPad keeps correcting me..
Go read Matthew 23 to get a flavor what Christ had to say about th law fare devils.. we were warned what would be.. too bad for you . You like devil's play..
Correct. He made a terrible decision. Just like trumps cabinet picks. He’s an Esau if there ever was one.
There are two separate issues here.
The first and most important is the leadership and people in the FBI who need to be kicked out and prosecuted. It is a people, mission, and management concern.
The second issue is the physical location of the FBI Headquarters.
Clearly the biggest need is reformation of the FBI leadership and workers.
Arguing over the location of buildings is not relevant.
You still have no clue why The Heavenly Father had it penned twice Jacob I loved, Esau I hated, even before Esau was born in a flesh body.. can't help those the Heavenly Father..placed in the spirit of stupor.. I have to sit by and let them show how s o t t I s h they literally are.
As usual on the “modern” FR, few people bothered to read what it was that Trump said.
So don’t give me that trope. His picks, made him an Esau. Sorry for your luck.
