Ron DeSantis ended his campaign to become the GOP's presidential candidate by using a fake statement attributed to British wartime leader Winston Churchill.
The Florida Governor signed off his campaign with the quote: 'Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts,' underneath the video where he announced he was removing himself from the running.
But the motivational words, which he attributed to Churchill, where never actually used by the statesman and former UK Prime Minister, according to history experts.

In that case Trump should reject the endorsement.
There must be some exceptions, but in general the Trump supporters on FR are the most ungracious people in the USA.

I’ll give DeSantis a pass on misspeaking here. When he dropped out, DeSantis could have endorsed Haley. Or he could have fumed, and stayed neutral. But DeSantis endorsed Trump.
Welcome aboard the Trump Train, Mr. DeSantis. Now let’s all pull together to win in November.

Quote is not fake... Probably fact-checked on SNOPES.

Thank you for the laugh. See, we're not ungracious as you say.

There must be some exceptions, but in general the Trump supporters on FR are the most ungracious people in the USA.And one of the interesting things about it, is that they will eventually need the support and votes of the people that they are profaning. Good luck with that.

Lesson learned… NEVER quote Churchill unless you know what you are talking about!
Cheers!

Yeah, even as a Trump guy I got to agree, I mean Trump just confused Nikki Haley with Nancy Pelosi in an old age hiccup way reminiscent of Biden and some are FR are still trying to pile on DeSantis? I made money (through betting sites) on predicting a Trump win in 2016, thought we would win narroly in 2020 (I think we did) but with continued name calling resulting in unfavorable Trump ratings and a divided GOP -its what Dems were going for and makes Trump winning a longer shot in 2024 than his two other runs.

Everything about his presidential campaign was a disaster from the messaging to his in-person appearances. Wow, not a good look with those boots!
