Love Trump or hate Trump he has done some amazing things for America, and the world. Ending wars, making the economy incredible, working to help our veterans, and countless other things. But when he gets a phone in his hand, and he’s in a mood there is no telling where some of the social media storms he unleashes will go.
Townhall reports, With midterm elections still uncalled in key states determining the balance of power in Congress, former President Donald Trump issued a statement targeting Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. In a repudiation of President Biden’s agenda, DeSantis defeated Democrat Charlie Crist in one of the few clear GOP victories of what was supposed to be a national “red wave” night.
Trump’s lengthy statement began by using his new nickname for DeSantis — for whom he voted in Florida this week — “DeSanctimonious,” and called him “an average REPUBLICAN Governor with great Public Relations” who “has the advantage of SUNSHINE.” Trump also claimed “people from badly run States up North would go [to Florida] no matter who the Governor was, just like I did.”
After Trump endorsed DeSantis, held rallies on his behalf, and “fixed” his campaign, the 45th president continued to attack the popular governor.
Despite Trump’s usual rhetoric against centrist, squishy Republicans and not red state conservatives, Republicans and conservatives sharply criticized his attack on DeSantis.
Jesse Kelly was looking forward to a primary fight sharpening the eventual GOP nominee to take on Biden — or whoever Democrats run — in 2024. But now, he’s calling Trump out, saying he’s “going to just embarrass himself and go down in flames” which, as Kelly points out, is a sad development.
Twitter user Jonny Conch tweeted “I supported the man twice after never wanting him to get the nomination. He sat in $100 million this cycle to keep for himself. What he is doing now is childish and damaging nobody but him. I am done with Trump after this. Good riddance.”
Kurt Schlichter tweeted “Some might argue that Trump is in an all out war against his electability. I mean what the hell was that today?”
Byron York tweeted “ ‘Ron DeSanctimonious’ is back. Former President Trump, perhaps worried there are some Republicans he has not yet irritated, attacks Gov. DeSantis again.”
Allie Beth Stuckey had a interesting point when it came to her tak on why Trump was attacking Desantis. She tweeted “Trump’s statement reads like DeSantis slighted him in some way, but really he’s just upset that other people are talking about DeSantis’s presidential potential.”
Regardless of Trump’s intentions, it was clear that he wanted the media spotlight on the eve of election night when he made his announcement that he was going to make an announcement on November 15th to run for president. Trump was there to campaign and turn the vote out, yet he stole the headlines and spotlight. Now that Desantis didn’t immediately say that he was going to sit this election cycle out in a way that made Trump happy, Trump goes on the offensive because of this perceived slight. Trump should have shown some restraint when it came to his attacks, because all he is doing is losing some of his base who are searching for something else, and further alienating the middle of the road Republicans who are on the fence to turn out and vote for him. I think that Allie Beth Stuckey more than likely has the closest take on the situation, and Trump feels slighted, and is now attempting to shift the focus to the media where the blame should have been the whole time.

I think Ron Desantis should run for President, I have been for President Trump for a while but what he's doing is terrible, I believe he wants to be the only one that people applaud .
Trump has a PROVEN track record of doing good things for us. He even donated his salary for God sake ! He was ASSAULTED by the media and deep state 24 hours a day the entire time on our behalf........
And this is how you repay him ? This is the extent of your loyalty ?
Your vote is based sheerly upon " I heard Trump said something mean to somebody " and fickle mood swings ? Skewed media hype ?
Or will your vote be based in PROVEN TRACK RECORD POLICY.
Trump gave you Roe V Wade..... DeSantis gave you Un-Constitutional Lock Downs.
I can't believe that Trump went after deSantis. It shocks me to no end and makes Trump look foolish. Maybe the pressure of all that he has to deal with is getting to him. I hope deSantis has the forgiveness in his heart for Trump.
Forgiveness for what ? LOL. He didn't call the guy Hitler....... he just called him sanctimonious. DeSantis would also be NOWHERE if it wasn't for the Trump endorsement.
DeSantis is being DISLOYAL for not publicly endorsing a Trump 2024 run. Which we all know Trump deserves and has more than earned. That is how it stands at the moment.
Sanctimonious means someone is not as good as they pretend to be. Now if someone is
De-sanctimonious, it would mean they were the opposite of a pretender!
Desantis started this by going after Trump, he might be a good Governor but being President is another story!
Here is the real take-away from all this:
"who didn't have to close up his State, but did, unlike other Republican governors....." BINGO !
We must not become fickle and never forget.... Trump was already a multi billionaire. He didn't need to do any of this. Instead, he risked himself and his family to stand up for us and America. Trump is a FIGHTER ! That's what we needed. Remember how he attacked all his opponents in 2016 ? It was all in good fun, and memorable.
Trump was basically denied his first term as well. 24/7 there were torpedoes in the water coming at him, as he tried to do his job. For God sake the man even donated his salary !
Folks, I know Donald J. Trump is brash..... but we owe him our Loyalty. He has EARNED that 2nd term. He got us out of that crappy Paris Climate Accord, and gave us a conservative supreme court which struck down Roe V Wade. He unmuzzled the churches 501c3. He called out NATO allies. He TAXED China and gave us a roaring stock market and economy ! $2 dollar gas ! He gave us needed criminal justice reforms. He gave us real tax breaks.
So what did the elite do ? They knee capped his administration with the Covid hoax. I could go on all day but......
"Woot woot !" TRUMP TRAIN ALL ABOARD ! ! ! 😎
Apparently there was a very senior meeting held amoung the white hats Earth Alliance and Ron called out Trump as a has-been that had served his purpose. Apparently this did not go over at all well with those heavily involved with ridding the planet of the Cabal and their 'ponies''. It's since that meeting a few weeks ago that trump has begun to slate Ron, who I previously thought was a solid allie of Trumps. Something is going on and the visuals are terrible. If this is Trump playing 3D Chess, then it's very scary. I'm afraid this could cause a split. But Trump did say he was in the process of determining who his friends are, from his foes! Trump has too many military people behind him to be making any kind of mistake.
