Trump Plans to Make Ron DeSantis a ‘Political Eunuch’
Rolling Stone ^ | FEBRUARY 8, 2024 10:00AM EST | ASAWIN SUEBSAENG AND ADAM RAWNSLEY

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.

What a bullsh*t article. His source is “One of the sources, who has spoken to the ex-president about this topic recently”, does not merit rewarding the Rolling Stone a ‘click’, which is how they are paid.

Trump needed to earn it a 2nd time. Nobody owed him anything.

If Trump is smart he would ask for Desantis’s support. He might just need it.

Desantis has gone full force in taking on trumps vaccine and Disney.
Trump loves him some Disney and bud light and big pharma.
So yes, that would be like oil and water.
And we definitely want more wokeness and big pharma.

There are higher, more important levels of revenge Trump should be seeking IF he’s re-elected.

There will be no revenge. No retribution. Trump will throw MAGA under the bus on Day One and go full libtard. He'll give the Democrats everything they want in exchange for throttling back on the lawfare.

He'll have no more use for those Walmart-shopping MAGA rubes who supported them. He never really liked them that much to begin with. It's his business empire that he wants to save to pass on to his children.

So, let Trump belittle Ron DeSantis all he wants while sucking up to Bud Light. It's exactly what I'm talking about.

Doesn’t DeSantis wear elevator shoes? That would be enough for me to dismiss him.

We have a national debt of 34.2 trillion and lots of other problems to solve. If this is true then Shame on Trump. But unless he wrote it himself and said it himself then it should be expected to be fake news.

“It’s his business empire that he wants to save to pass on to his children.”

I haven’t carried my thinking that far, but I suppose that’s a possibility. I’m more concerned about the cheating that took place in 2020...never pursued by the bulk of our elected Republican congress critters...and the cheating that will occur during the 2024 election.

““It’s his business empire that he wants to save to pass on to his children.”

I would think NY law would only apply to NY property and NY loans.

To claim Trump had $370 million in gains on property but that no gains were possible since he took out the loan(s) seems rather odd.

Coming from Rolling Stone, I would never assume this is true. More likely an effort by RS to sow disunity in the republican ranks by exploiting those who are gullible.
