Unnecessary name-calling that makes Trump look like a petulant juvenile, and just a few days before the Guv elections in Florida.
Trump would have looked wise and in control had he SUPPORTED DeSantis at this eleventh hour.
His only comment about Desantis should be “The man would make a great Vice-President”
Precisely
”What the hell brought that one on Donald?”
Then Trump could say ‘when have you dissuaded any speculation that you are my competition for 2024 after I helped elect HOH f
Governor?
I’m a Trump fan but this is totally uncalled for. Just like other “swipes” he took at various R candidates/wives during the last primarys. Stop it!
“Has he not said anything positive?“
In media speculation that he is trumps rival for 2024? Name it?
DeSantis praised Trump thusly:
“When Trump was President, they [the Russians] didn’t take anything.”
If Trump wants to get nasty, that's his choice, but DeSantis just has to run on his record, his views, and his age.
Rush also criticized Trump for not focusing on issues, as opposed to petty personal feuds and playground name-calling. I heard Rush say it with my own ears. If Trump disagrees with anything Desantis has done on the issues, let’s hear it. I would be shocked if he does.
I don’t have any problem with name calling if it conveys a truth - like “lyin Ted”. But calling Desantis sanctimonious is false - and it’s using a leftist rhetoric jibe

Give it a break. Repukes have done nothing but attack Trump. They went ad far as campaigning for the Rat and trying to impeach him.
IT was a compliment!
“ Trump violated Reagan commandment “Never denigrate another Republican”.
No. He did not. Even regan did so when running v HW
That rule does not extend to primary competition. The media has named DeSantis Trump’s primary competition. DeSantis has not denied it. Beat male style he is trumps primary competition. Let HIM say something deferential toward Trump and deny that he’s running against him.
My pearls are upstairs I’m my jewel box. Not clutching them.
Lay off the drama.
You have to admit Trump was right about Lyin Ted Cruz. And his jibe ar the wife didn’t bother me after I heard her on a radio interview show snap at the host for suggesting she put a priority on motherhood (or something like that). “I’m an MBA professional!” she huffed in response- or words to that effect (I heard it on a Bakersfield station in 2016 during the primaries, can’t remember the exact words but that was the gist
“But calling Desantis sanctimonious is false”
Really? And you know this for a fact? How? President Trump does not make such statements randomly. He’s a calculating man. It is very likely he is sending a covert message to Desantis that he has specific knowledge about something that Desantis would not want to come to public knowledge.
A shot across the bow is an apt analogy.
Since your a democrat on a conservative site, I dont any value into your ignorance.
Thank you for bringing up the words of Rush Limbaugh. We sure miss Rush because he had more common sense than all of us together. You perfectly outlined what rush said about Trump. He can’t get over petty issues / differences. That makes him unpresidential for 2024.
