Trump to Hugh Hewitt on DeSantis: “He had nothing! He was dead, he was leaving the race, he came over and he begged me, begged me, for an endorsement. He was getting ready to drop out,”-- “There were tears coming down from his eyes...

He had the same ego in 2015 when he ran. What’s the difference now than then?

This is Trump. This has been his method for years. Only difference is that his target is someone other freepers like and support. Trump will not change.

DeSantis has to respond to this.

No, he doesn't. He can simply ignore it, and come off looking like the adult in the room.

“”From the moment I endorsed him, he went from losing by numbers that were not catchable to winning easily.”

Is this not true? It seems it would be easy enough to confirm.

Anyone? Anyone?

How embarrassing for Trump that he keeps harping on this. Really he needs to get over it.

Trump has lost his way.
Even if he got the nomination, he would loose AZ, OH and probably FL.

Oh, the adults in the room?

Are these the same adult Republican’s that were sitting shotgun for 40+ years as they helped drive this country over a cliff?

Were these the same adult Republican’s who lined up to stab Trump in the back?

No doubt Trump helped get DeSantis elected. DeSantis should remain good friends and a loyal ally. Sometimes a great talent simply needs a break to propel them onward. W/O the break they might never have succeeded.

People forget that too quickly, especially in politics.

“What’s the difference now than then?”

He was fresh in 2016. People got tired of him -NOT HIS POLICIES, BUT HIM - by 2020. Enough to lose legitimately in 2020? Maybe not. But certainly enough to lose in 2022 & 2024.

This is great!

Classic Trump.

Trump taking aim at DeSantis knowing that even though he has not declared, he’s running and eventually DeSantis will have to engage.

Trump is a great statistician where the process of politics is concerned.

DeSantis was hoping to stay out of the fray and avoid the messy part of Politics. Trump won’t let him so he will either have to Publicly commit, as I believe he has already made the decision to run, or, he will have to reverse course and state he is not running in 2024.

If he reverses course he has a future in National politics.

If he continues to allow the Globalists and Establishment Money men and Mouthpieces to manipulate him to run 2024, he will never be President as millions of Trump supporters will, like Trump, view him as Disloyal and a Traitor to Trump and MAGA.

With so much destruction happening in America at the hands of the left wing Democrats, dont waste time to attack Republicans. They are literally castrating children in 20 states.

Sounds like Trumpian hyperbole.

But why play these games? It takes one minute to walk up to the podium and say he supports Trump, or he’s running himself.

Why the big secret mystery?

I was speaking about one adult Republican. DeSantis.

All those other Republicans have nothing to do with Trump vs. DeSantis.

Trump addressed his plan to stop the castration of children yesterday.

One of Trump’s greatest skills is causing rinos and other assorted libs to foam at the mouth, thus exposing themselves.

Loyalty is an essential character trait for those who wish to be respected, for loyalty and honesty are locked together. Without both, you have neither.

There is no way DeSantis could have received Trump’s endorsement without representing himself to Trump as an honest, sincere person Honest and sincere people do not turn on their supporters at the first opportunity to advance.

Bottom line: If he turned on Trump, what makes you think he would be loyal to you and honor his promises to you?

Because he's running.

He's a politician playing politician games.
