After a year of getting roundly humiliated by Donald Trump and failing to unseat him as the leader of the Republican Party, Ron DeSantis finally dropped out of the race and endorsed Trump’s bid to reclaim the White House. But while the former president publicly retired his “DeSanctimonious” nickname, Trump has privately made clear over the past two weeks that he’s not ready to let go of his grudge against the Florida governor and former ally.
One of the sources, who has spoken to the ex-president about this topic recently, bluntly characterizes Trump’s attitude on DeSantis’ future as wanting to turn “Ron into a political eunuch” who never gets to be president, much less lead his party. In months past, as Rolling Stone previously reported, Trump privately insisted that if DeSantis truly wishes to earn his forgiveness, the Florida governor would have to “kiss my ass, a lot.”
For now, it appears that the adequate ass kissing has yet to begin.

moles!
Autocorrect is tyrannical. Why change from moles to miles?
Does Ron have funds left he could redirect to the Trump effort?
“Then Trump is a fool. No one will want to work with Trump. He will shoot himself.”
In other words, you actually believe that no one wants power, ever, in this nation, unless Sunday School rules command.
Fool???
What kind of person believes Rolling Stone pronouncements just by merely reading them?
Will Gov DeSantis now have to start drinking Bud Light?
It looks like others have been told point blank they need to knuckle down and give Bud Light a second chance.
I don’t. However many do.
Trump doesn’t need to do anything. DeSantis torpedoed his political future already.
When a (news) outlet says “our sources” or “someone close to” or even “it is reported”, I wouldn’t believe them. They are making up stories instead of reporting facts. Especially a rag like Rolling Stone.
Whatever the rolling stone says the opposite is true
This seems fake to me. Trump should wait for the right moment (i.e, DeSantis sending troops to the border) and truth out, “That’s my Govenor”. I wouldn’t trush DeSantis with much but as far as unifying the party to be at full strength Ron can be a good ally.
So you think you can trust ASAWIN SUEBSAENG at the Rolling Stone?
There are higher, more important levels of revenge Trump should be seeking IF he’s re-elected.
Which he won’t be.
unnecessary - Trump is the Lion King
stupid - if Trump is taken out, DeSantis is a likely replacement
RS can’t report the weather much less anything of substance.
If only I had some confidence in Trump’s vindictiveness than I could hold some hope that he will go scortched-earth on the swamp.
DeSantis and Haily should be as dead politiclly as Mitt Romney is.
“We need Trump to get out of the weeds and focus on swamp draining.”
You mean you think that Trump’s energies are all consumed by what he thinks of DeSantis?
You DeSantis-bots may still be that way, but your assumption that everyone else is could not be more wrong.
Ron DeSantis Ted Cruz’d himself. I would never vote for him for President.
Precisely. Whoever convinced RDS to run against Trump in 2024 is a complete political fool or fools. Whether that was his campaign consultants or, possibly, Mrs. RDS.
