Former President Donald Trump swung left in his latest bizarre attack on Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, on Tuesday accusing him of wanting to cut Social Security and Medicare and calling him a “wheelchair over the cliff kind of guy” in an all-caps blast.
Trump, 76, who announced Nov. 15 that he was seeking the 2024 Republican presidential nomination and is expected to face his most significant primary challenge from DeSantis, initially touted his poll numbers showing him leading the 44-year-old governor before cribbing from Democratic attack ads of the past.
“Great Poll numbers are springing forth for your favorite President, me, against Ron DeSanctus (& Biden). I guess people are finding out that he wanted to CUT SOCIAL SECURITY & RAISE THE MINIMUM AGE TO AT LEAST 70, at least 4 times. LIKEWISE WITH MEDICARE, WANTED BIG CUTS,” the 45th president posted on his Truth Social account.
“HE IS A WHEELCHAIR OVER THE CLIFF KIND OF GUY, JUST LIKE HIS HERO, failed politician Paul Ryan, the FoxNews ratings destroyer who led Mitt Romney’s Presidential Campaign down the tubes. GLOBALIST’S [sic] ALL! WE WANT AMERICA FIRST!!!” Trump added.

A lot of more libertarian-leaning types gave Trump a pass on his lack of entitlement reform, because he was the only one fighting, but it’s much less appealing when he’s using those tactics on the main person in the GOP pushing back on woke on a policy level at the moment.
He just won’t quit. The only good news is this is the end of his political career as far as campaigning. And for that we should be grateful.
Biden in the past also urges cuts in SS… why isn’t trump bashing Biden.
Just another day of Trump helping the Democrats
Agreed. The main thing that turned me off of Gary Johnson in 2016 was he came out in support of more carbon taxes. Libertarians should all be ashamed that of all the people on the general ballot, the only one not in favor of more carbon taxes was Trump, who was promising things that sounded like a big government Republican.
Hannity will howl.
God wants Ron DeSantis to be Governor

God sent Ron to lead us. It says so right in his ad!
Deja Vu, all over again!
Why does he do this?
Ego
I pretty much have no use for most libertarians because every single one I have ever known is an open border imbecile.
Trump campaigned as a populist and name caller in 2016 and 2020, I don’t see any chance of him being different in 2024.
#KeepingItClassy.
Sebastian Gorka is saying stupid stuff about RD too. Gorka is Trump’s mouthpiece apparently.
The only time one Republican should attack another is during primary season. You don’t see Democrats insulting each other all time. They have more sense than that.
Sorry, Mr. Trump. Every time you do something like this, I slip away a little bit more. America desperately needs the whole MAGA thing. But I’m starting to wonder if you’ve got the temperament to get it done.

Amen! I’m so grateful we have a fighter!
Is Trump losing his mind from the vaccines or is this just 256D chess and DeSantis is in on this prank and is waiting for Trumps announcement that they will become a team like Batman and Robin.
Trump needs to STFU. If he wants to be taken, seriously, he has to act like a serious candidate, and not just a loose cannon destroying everything in view. I am so over Trump, I don’t really care who it is, but I will not vote for him again, and increasingly, I will sit out my vote if it comes down to that.
