I will always be grateful for the presidency of Donald Trump and, if he is the GOP nominee for president in 2024, I will support him. But I am very disturbed that yesterday, at an airport rally in Pennsylvania, he attacked Ron DeSantis...with one of his derisive nicknames, except that this one doesn’t even make any sense:

President Reagan of blessed memory left us with a very useful 11th commandment: “Thou shalt not attack another Republican."
In today’s political environment, with the Democrat party in the hands of the radical left, and wrecking our economy, society and ability to defend ourselves, defeating them and taking control of the Oval Office and both houses of Congress (with substantial majorities) is more important than any individual’s political career. So, Reagan’s rule is even more important than when he enunciated it himself.
Notice that the crowd didn’t respond very forcefully to Trump’s insult. I suspect that most of them have at least some respect for what DeSantis has accomplished in Florida. He kept that state from fully engaging with the Covid lockdown madness that has so severely harmed us and our children. Perhaps Trump’s biggest failure in office was his inability to do what DeSantis did, which was to see through the tainted advice of “experts” like Dr. Fauci, and, instead, to stand up for common sense. Trump, to put it starkly, was duped and DeSantis was not.
That’s a hard truth that must rankle Trump and may account for some of his hostility toward Florida’s governor.

I don’t know but feel Trump is in better position to check his back than either you or I. Trump almost always is reacting to a provocation when he stands up and gives it back this way. Like I said, I don’t know but we will surely find out. I assume you agree about the now outdated 11th Commandment joke and the actual DC Republican shivs we saw, with our own eyes, being slid into DJT’s back.
Yeah and Trump is the “great uniter” both in the party and for our country at large… What are people smoking around here
Still...biden is an ass + hole without any of the benies under Trump.
Like an economy that isn’t in the toilet.
No Mean Tweets!!!! I need my faintin couch, I gots the vapours!
It made me laugh
Trump needs to back off on DeSantis...
Well............Bye.....
Honestly, no one here gives a crap about what you think.
This is bull shit. Most Republicans posers in D.C. aid and abet the leftist and it’s been that way for many years.

Apparently DeSanctimonious didn’t poll well with post-rally focus groups.

No. Desantis opened up Florida and saved a ton of small businesses. Deal with Trudeau.
Dumb mistake. I suspect De Santis refused an offer to attend his rally. But don’t hand the left a gift like this three days before the election.
There are so many people trying to get Trump and DeSantis to fight and have distorted so many things that I won't believe any story about riffs between the two until collaborated.
Trump was making light of that awful ad by DeSantis making out he was God’s chosen fighter. In this case the name fits! Lighten up Never Trumpers!
Trump did no such thing. He called DeSantis a by a humorous nickname.

Giving something for the Democrats to run with.
Why didn’t he hold off for just a couple more days?
After all, he has two more years to label DeSantis whatever he wants to.
These two just need to stay away from each other. I LOVE Trump, but under no circumstances do I want him to destroy DeSantis like he did all the other Republicans before.
Wow....Rich Baris knows a LOT of inside baseball.
Interesting.
This loser ever talk about Bush and the gang attacking Trump.
