Very true.
All this does is create animosity within the Republican Party.
And DeSantis is not even a candidate for president. So why would Trump waste any time and effort criticizing someone who isn’t even a candidate?
If he becomes a candidate then things could be different. But for now he’s severely attacking someone who’s on his side, who’s on his team.
If DeSantis isn’t a candidate he would come out and say it again to end such speculation, but hasn’t. Therefore it’s assumed he’s running but can’t announce it just yet until Florida election law is changed to permit it. So that traitorous weasel is a fair target for Trump to attack.
Basically, Trump has acquired the GOP habit of a circular firing squad!
Look at what the Rats do! Monolithic! Almost completely so!
It used to be that the old adage about Rats was - “I am not a member of any organized political party! I’m democrat!”. I think Will Rogers said that. Rats don’t do that now. Why? They want power!!! Power!!! Power!!! They’ll worry about purity or being in the right faction later if at all.
The GOP\Conservatives would rather be “right” (or the member of the “correct” faction!) then win! Rats want to win! They do!
It’s a wise political tactic even if DeSantis hasn’t announced. Most voters barely know DeSantis. I personally hate these tactics but nice guys typically finish last. When (if) DeSantis announces, then voters will already be predisposed to not trust DeSantis. Believe me, if DeSantis does enter the race, he will also unleash on Trump.
That is why I hope both sides can cooperate. This is Trump’s shot, and a bloody fight for the nomination might very well damage DeSantis like Cruz (Cruz will never be president, largely based on that political conflict). DeSantis should continue to run Florida, proving his conservative bona fides. He will then be set for 2028.
> And DeSantis is not even a candidate for president. <
And it wouldn’t matter if he was. This is not yet primary season. Trump should limit his attacks solely to Democrats until then.
It’s just that simple.
Yup. President Trump is getting nasty towards someone who never bothered him and has not even announced that he will be challenging him. Not good.
All this does is create animosity within the Republican Party.

Yeah, and there would certainly be no animosity if it were not for him! Don’t need the /s do I?
