I will always be grateful for the presidency of Donald Trump and, if he is the GOP nominee for president in 2024, I will support him. But I am very disturbed that yesterday, at an airport rally in Pennsylvania, he attacked Ron DeSantis...with one of his derisive nicknames, except that this one doesn’t even make any sense:

President Reagan of blessed memory left us with a very useful 11th commandment: “Thou shalt not attack another Republican."
In today’s political environment, with the Democrat party in the hands of the radical left, and wrecking our economy, society and ability to defend ourselves, defeating them and taking control of the Oval Office and both houses of Congress (with substantial majorities) is more important than any individual’s political career. So, Reagan’s rule is even more important than when he enunciated it himself.
Notice that the crowd didn’t respond very forcefully to Trump’s insult. I suspect that most of them have at least some respect for what DeSantis has accomplished in Florida. He kept that state from fully engaging with the Covid lockdown madness that has so severely harmed us and our children. Perhaps Trump’s biggest failure in office was his inability to do what DeSantis did, which was to see through the tainted advice of “experts” like Dr. Fauci, and, instead, to stand up for common sense. Trump, to put it starkly, was duped and DeSantis was not.
That’s a hard truth that must rankle Trump and may account for some of his hostility toward Florida’s governor.

After supporting Trump vigorously in 2016. My family is getting sick of his egotistical antics. His policies were right but Ron DeSantis can implement them better!
“ This loser ever talk about Bush and the gang attacking Trump.”
I e Liz Cheney? We’re waiting
How about DeSantis for not ever backing trump as he allows the media to do his dirty work campaigning against Trump
I’ve got advice for RDS. You use the media to work for you in your campaign, they will crush you. Wherever Trump uses the media to run for him, it’s where they are against him. In their natural position
Hey dufus and “warrior” newbie ha ha!
You don’t know Trump.
#21
LOL perfect.
Unity is overrated anyway.
that is telling you all you need to know...
mocking Desantis before his election did not poll well and Trump has backed off.
Because they project their silly insecurities on him.
I agree.. just an attempt to try to manufacture outrage in order to divide.
NeverTrump/Establishment nonsense
2024 nomination is Trump’s if he runs, if he doesn’t Desantis is certainly a high probability. But if Trump runs Desanrtis will be there for 2028…
This is a manufactured nonsensical outrage… these guys are big boys, they know the game…. Just stupid
You may be in the minority but you’re not alone. I think Trump better be very careful about this and I took the name as an attempt to belittle and not something in jest. I voted for Trump twice and if it were between him and Desantis it would be Desantis for me hands down. Desantis is way more politically savvy and much less thin skinned.
No doubt. The way things are going, it’s time to tear things up.
Wonder if something is missing in the American Thinker story?.
They’re already floating DeSantis cheated on his wife stories. How is DeSantis going to manage those inevitable stories/ frame ups? He can’t be friends w the media versus trump. He’ll always lose that. Because Trump never depends on the media. He never has.
oh good come back. What are you, 10?
I can see why you worship Trump so much. You seem to have the childish mentality.
And he’ll have to wait to try.
If he takes on Trump in the primary he will get crushed.
This isn’t a controversy it’s contrived nonsense by the NeverTrumpers
I agree with you there.
Actually I enjoyed the Trump years. More money in the pocket, cheap fuel and somebody who says how most of us feel. I’ve been hoping and praying that he’d run and win again.
Lately I’m warming up to a different candidate with the same policies.
The showmanship in Donald Trump during his presidency along with the continuous fake scandals by the left distracted and overshadowed the wonderful positive things his policies had done for this nation, so much so that the democrats (including this President) have no fear telling lies to the American people that inflation was much worse under Trump, more jobs were created under Biden than under Trump and the media repeats it. No real rebuttal from the Trump side, no real rebuttal from the Republican side.
If I were able to vote in a republican primary (I’m an Independent) in my state and it were between Trump and DeSantis, I would likely vote for Trump to send the GOP and the country a message.
Hahahah! Seeeeee ya! The door is >>>>>
Another “I hate Trump cuz” loser. You have zero insight and zero humor. You weren’t going to vote for him anyway if he runs….just another drive by hit job from a leftist posing as “the other side”
We see you
Yup that 11th Commandment died with Barbara Bush
Lighten up , Francis.
DeSantis and Youngkin are the UniParty response to MAGA......prove me wrong
