Former President Donald Trump went scorched earth on Florida Governor Ron DeSantis after he weighed in on his potential indictment in the Stormy Daniels case brought by prosecutors in New York.
Trump, in a post on Truth Social, raised questions about DeSantis’s sexuality and once again peddled his groomer smear against the Florida Republican who is seen as a potential presidential candidate in 2024.
“Ron DeSanctimonious will probably find out about FALSE ACCUSATIONS & FAKE STORIES sometime in the future, as he gets older, wiser, and better known, when he’s unfairly and illegally attacked by a woman, even classmates that are “underage” (or possibly a man!),” Trump seethed. ‘I’m sure he will want to fight these misfits just like I do!”
Trump also included a picture from an article suggesting the worst about DeSantis’s conduct with “underage” young people.
Trump’s scorched earth remarks came hours after DeSantis made snide comments about the former president while addressing the possibility Trump will be indicted this week over the Stormy Daniels hush money scandal.
“I don’t know what goes into paying hush money to a porn star or to secure silence over some time of alleged affair. I just – I can’t speak to that,” DeSantis told reporters on Monday. “But what I can speak is that you have a prosecutor who is ignoring crimes happening every single day in his jurisdiction and he chooses to go back many, many years ago to try to use something about porn star hush money payments. You know, that’s an example of pursuing a political agenda.” **/

Trump shouldn’t punch down. Looks really weak
What he’s saying is, that if Desantis the nominee either in 2024 or later, they’ll make up stuff about him too, and then prosecute him for it.
Now Desantis is obviously a fighter, but he’s got the Jeb and Rove crowd whispering in his ear. They are parasites.
I used to like Trump - Not anymore. I am voting Desantis in the primary. Will vote for Trump against Biden but I no longer like him
Not very confidence inspiring
Sounds like a warning shot across the bow of DeSanctimonious.
If you are gonna beat the man, get in the game, or support him. It is really that simple.
DeSantis is playing the game of sitting back and waiting. This is not the time to sit back, it is time to rally around Trump. He is the ONLY one who can roll back the deep state. All others will be thrown back like DJT was his first term. If he wins in 2024 he will be bulletproof politically.
The Only Trumpers repeat whatever nickname Trump pins on DeSantis. That’s supposed to convince people not to back DeSantis. It convinces me they have low IQ’s.
Thorazine. You’ll thank me later.
He will not win in 2024. I have no idea what bulletproof politically means.
I can see why he would be pissed. Man they have put this dude through the ringer.
He’s handling it better than I would have.
I bet he didn’t even do it.
After today, I agree with you.
DeSanctimonius is not all that.
Whatever happens, it feels good to not have to bend myself into a pretzel to defend every idiotic thing Trump says and does anymore.
I will leave that to others.
That is a Hugh , and Series accusation.
What an awful thing to say to someone.
Well after tomorrow the debate may become academic.
Desantis might be the only one walking free.
You’ve convinced me of the same thing.
After today and RDS’s smirk, it’s on like donkey kong.
“I bet he didn’t even do it.”
Pay Stormy or have sex with Stormy? IIRC, I think she said nothing ever happened. Who knows? Wealthy celebs are easy targets.
Why did you ever think you had to do that? Why bother? I try not to even talk to ‘tards.
Just go with it. If something gets them in the feels, f’em.
Man, how things have changed. The Trump Train now reminds me more of the Train to Busan.
