Even Trump himself mocks them when he says he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue in broad daylight and not lose any supporters. I can't imagine idolizing anyone to that point, especially not a politician, in fact that very statement is one of the reasons I quit supporting him.

So you didn’t vote for Trump in either election of 2016 or 2020? He made that statement as a compliment to loyal supports in the 2016 campaign.

"I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, okay, and I wouldn't lose any voters, okay?" Trump said to the laughter of the audience at a rally at Sioux Center in Iowa. "It's, like, incredible."

Makes you a never Trumper, and your comment disengenuous.

“Whatever else DeSantis may be, he is still the Governor of the State of Florida,”

Does he know that?

Understood.
Further along that road, I think Trump would agree with myself, and many here regarding the complete surprise that He and the American electorate took our political “betters” by when he won.
The Enemy never imagined for a moment that Trump would win.
They spent the next four years trying to oust him.
What did President Trump do to try and insure that any future conservative candidates would be protected from the same previously, completely acceptable fraud that was certain to return, in droves, to insure that another non club member would Never again be elected.
We are in such a mess FRiend.
We need to stick Together, and support those who are trying to hold onto freedom.
Attacking anyone that Trump attacks on our side, will not end well for us.

“He’s become the male version of Sarah Palin.”

That’s not fair in any way.

DeSantis sank himself; Palin was sunk by Nicole Wallace and John McCain whose resident green-eyed monster possessed him.

DeSantis was disloyal to Trump who pretty much handed him his position; Sarah never was disloyal to McCain (although maybe she should have been).

Desantis, by his own campaign actions and statement or lack of statements, has many questioning if he is ‘on our side’.

Don’t worry, he isn’t the only one. Congress is full of similar approval of the destruction of our country by silence and omission.

possibly for an evaluation to determine if he was having a health issue that made him act bizarre Yes, yes. Send him to re-education camp for his blatant wrongthink. Do you not see how you're no better than a leftist with this kind of blatant disregard and threats to detain a man for having a different opinion?

Of course you immediately tried to turn Trump’s own words into an attack on me. I voted for Trump in both 2016 and 2020, as my record here clearly shows, but I either didn’t know about that statement then, or was so devoted to him at the time, I either ignored it or took it in stride. Eventually when I started questioning him, though, it was something that stood out to me is incredibly inappropriate. And when you finally start noticing, he does incredibly inappropriate stuff a lot.

“Governor who fought for freedom during Covid”

Ron says he didn’t shut down FL during Covid, and that is a lie. He DID shut down FL, as did every other governor except Noem.

So you did vote for him but you wouldn’t have if you had known he said that, because it was inappropriate?

You are laughable.

“That should tell you something. Tells me several things.”

It tells me something, i.e., that all TPTB who were installed surreptitiously by Soros over the years have been successful in thwarting the rule of law.

Noem tried to. The SD state legislature shot her down. Now she's taking credit for not doing it.

That was brutal....They didn’t realize the joke was DeSantos until it was too late, as DeSasters hired muscle grabbed him and led him away...wow.

A pie in the face moment...

“ Lord help us, to please stop eating our own.”

DeSantis should have followed your advice before he started savaging Trump.

DeSaster and his insider donors were so damn arrogant, after Trump endorsed him, he flipped and decided to run against the most popular respected president in modern American history.

He got KO’d in the first round.

Ma’am, we live, literally a stone’s throw from Florida, and have many family members who live throughout Florida., and have their whole lives.
Governor DeSantis worked to keep Florida free during Covid.
I remember President Trump expressing a little frustration in that regard, but felt at the time, that he would come to understand in time. Maybe not.

I agree entirely.

If something like this was done to Trump, we’d all be in an uproar, not giggling at it.
