Ramaswamy responds to Trump attack

Yes, I saw President Trump’s Truth Social post. It’s an unfortunate move by his campaign advisors, I don’t think friendly fire is helpful. Donald Trump was the greatest President of the 21st century, and I’m not going to criticize him in response to this late attack.

Vivek is being gracious. He's not blaming Trump for his petty little snark. He's blaming his campaign advisors.

Nice.

[Does so]

The guy is glib—fer sure...

[Responsibility2nd]

Ted Cruz, Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley and everyone else who has been burned by Trump and his caustic comments could have told Vivek this was going to happen.

Vivek needs to quit carrying water for Trump. It won't work. Trump will never pick Vivek as his veep. He will only increase the hateful insults.

Trump is losing it. Very sad.

LOL!

All the Usual Suspects - the NY Times, XiNN, NBCia, ABSleaze, FauxSnooze, Pollutico and The Shill - are rubbing one out on this Ramaswamy - Trump story.

Only The WhiteWashingHamas Post hasn't weighed in yet.

What was said? I’ve not been in the loop on this.

[Bayard]

Trump picking up DeSantis Campaign advisors?

[usafa92]

Vivek is a clown, tired of his act and his creepy grins. He needs to exit stage right or left. He can take his pick.

[kiryandil]

Nah - this is a repeat of 2016.

The usual gangpile on Trump by the Media.

[Carriage Hill]

Somehow, I missed this whole flap. Here’s what Trump said:

> Trump will never pick Vivek as his veep.

Vivek doesn’t want to be VP. I think he’s aiming at the next election cycle while trying to advocate during this one.

Overall, fulfilling his civic duty.

There’s a Twitter thread that apparently this photo p’d off the Trump campaign

Why would he call Trump out? That’s not part of his grift. Most of his support comes from people who also like Trump. Trump supporters who like Ramaswamy as their second choice, like him because he presents himself as pro-Trump. If Trump and Ramaswamy ever got into a protracted, public squabble, the vast majority of people who like both of them would ditch Ramaswamy in a heart beat and stick with Trump.

Trump was a fool to attack Vivek. Does he actually feel threatened by him or something?

[Nextrush]

Trump taking a low road and his smear team like Laura Loomer and Stew Peters as well.

I support Trump but don’t give Republicans money.

They are a big machine like the Democrats.

Sad to see the attacks on Ramaswamy.

So I send my money to RFK Jr. and hope Trump can move forward in a more positive direction.

[joesbucks]

Amazing he’s like so many other Trump supporters. When Trump does something, it’s never his fault.

[linedrive]

And Trump (or his campaign) is classless. Too bad, he was a good president when he didn’t have to contend with his bad choices stabbing him in the back - and not realizing the degree to which he was used.

>>”Trump is losing it. Very sad.”

Trump is losing it, take one-thousand-fifty-two. I’m still waiting for the “Trump has done it this time” crowd to get something right. But I’m sure I have a long wait.
