Trump Sets Off Firestorm With Conservatives For Attack On DeSantis

[skye]

Former President Donald Trump mocked Ron DeSantis at his Saturday night rally—calling the Florida governor “Ron DeSanctimonious.”

And hours later, Trump found himself in hot water with fellow conservatives who weren’t pleased that he’d taken aim at the increasingly popular DeSantis.

During his rally in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, while touting his poll numbers (from a month ago), Trump found an opening to take a swing at DeSantis, who’s quickly turned into an unofficial 2024 Republican presidential rival.

“There it is, Trump at 71. Ron DeSanctimonious at 10 percent,” Trump said. “Mike Pence at 7–oh, Mike Pence doing better than I thought.” (It’s the first time Trump’s tried out the nickname, but longtime ally Roger Stone—a fierce DeSantis critic—posted the dig about a week ago.)

You can't even spell "DeSantis".

Sad.

Oh no!!???!!! That’s a killer issue there.

Oh no!!???!!! That’s a killer issue there.

Only when it comes to your own credibility....

So it's bad for TRUMP to slight DeSantis just before an election, but you're okay with DeSantis palling around with never-maga rinos before his election?

Desantis is worse than Trump because he's smarter. Welcome to the new age of autocrats and Fascism wrapped in religion.

 

[surada]

He lost the election.

He still lost the election.

 

[monkrules]

Plenty of evidence was found but morons like you ignore it.

There was absolutely NO evidence of fraud. It was a clean election and Orange man lost.

But trump's too much of a wimp to admit to his loss.

 

[monkrules]

Trump is very smart and usually gets the big issues right

But also a little quirky at times

A LITTLE quirky?

Hell, Trump is a fucking dingbat.

A LITTLE quirky?

Hell, Trump is a fucking dingbat.

Trump is mostly right on the big issues that swamp rat republican career politicians and democrats get wrong

Thats worth a thousand handlers telling him every word to say so that he wont offend the faint hearted

He needs DeSantis to win the governorship, so he can bash him for not serving his governor's term, when DeSantis declares his 2024 presidential Run!

Just more bullshit from you.

What does USMB think of this? I know DeSantis backing that "never Trumper" in CO rubbed Trump the wrong way and since then Trump has labeled him Ron DeSanctimonious but this is a distraction we don't need right now imo. To me we need to stay focused on finishing out the midterms, staying vigiliant for fuckery and not falling for divisive traps like this. I also know how Trump is and certainly seeing Ron D win BIGLY Tuesday probably stings Trump's ego a bit. Either way this isn't a good look imo.

DeSantis is Trump’s biggest threat so he’s attacking him.

Trump doesn’t care about the GOP. Trump cares about Trump. That’s it.

And it's having it's intended effect, the only people benefiting from this are shitlibs

 

[rightwinger]

It is the way Trump operates
He does not play well with others.

It is also why DeSantis will not win
Trump will turn MAGA against him with lies and insults
MAGA will never support DeSantis

Mistake by Trump, IMO, but everyone must decide for themselves.

Republican’s love to lose. It’s the only thing they are good at.

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

Trump needs to fuck off so we can salvage our party without all the geriatric drama

 

[My_Chinchilla_Is_A_Racist]

it seems as if Trump has become the Mr Bill of the GOP. after DeSantis beat Crisp by 78 Million votes, Trump was screaning "Oohhh Noooooooooooooooo !!!!

I can't believe people are falling for this obvious trap, Trump included..he's letting the talking heads in the media get him agitated and attacking someone who made HUGE gains for Republicans..Miami and Tampa both going red, election integrity in Florida, I support Trump but this is handing wins to the left and it's shit optics
