3 days before the midterms in a key swing state and Trump denigrates a popular, conservative Republican who is also up for re-election. Such a childish ass.

Awful Trump. No reason to do that. Potentially could be one of the worst missteps of his political career.

Im a Trump guy, but I gotta call balls and strikes and, yikes.

If Trump runs, he will run unopposed in the primary. No legitimate candidate is going to beat him. DeSantis knows this and I think he is smart enough not to run if Trump wants it. For DeSantis, the only winning move is not to play.

I believe this less and less every day. There are A LOT of Republicans that would be just fine with DeSantis or an alternative over Trump. The real polls btw are not nearly as rosy for Trump. He's sitting around 50% and dropping and DeSantis is in the mid 20's with the rest of the votes to folks like Pence and Pompeo and Cruz. Those are likely going DeSantis. I think Trump is more likely to fade than get stronger.

Go away Trump

JFC, why won't he go away?

MAGA Twitter reaction is not good for Trump. At all.

Or… Ron De…SaidNoToFauci… that’s another angle… #StandUpForAmerica https://t.co/VOznfgHNOm

Trump missed the mark with the quip about DeSantis tonight. It's four days before the Midterm; the Governor is facing re-election and is a MAGA ally. No need for friendly fire. Keep the guns targeted on the Left.

What in his brain tells him this is a smart move? Days before the midterms. If you need more proof that Trump is out for himself, here you go.

Anyone actually think Trump cares whether DeSantis even wins re-election? DeSantis will win Florida by a margin that Trump could never even dream of. You know his ego can't handle that.

Trump is single-handedly going to cost the Republicans the senate

Again.

Actually I dont think he can tank the GOB now, but he already did once in 2020. Ridiculous Georgia is not red.

Picking a younger, smarter, more principled, more effective, more charismatic candidate? Sign me up for this conspiracy

Yep. Showing he doesnt give a damn about America or the Republicans only his own ego.

He needs to go away and let the Adults bury the DemoRats

DeSantis is an extremely effective conservative governor who has had real policy wins and real cultural wins. Trump isn’t going to be able to take this one down with a dumb nickname. He better have more than that up his sleeve. https://t.co/dOpugSGEBP

Trump is going to alienate a portion of his base if he goes after Desantis. There is nobody more stubborn than Trump. This name calling, childish behavior is what turned so many suburban women away.

---

Trump will be near 80 years old if he runs- you think he is ever going to change from being stubborn and childish?!

he has always been an @#$#@#$ , and always will be an @#$@#$

I think Trump is making a significant error with this move. He's only alienating people with this, it doesn't win any voters for him.

---

That's what I'm trying to figure out, who is anti DeSantis that would vote for Trump in a GOP primary?

Only the Liz Cheney types that would never vote for Trump anyways and would vote for a Larry Hogan type

---

do you actually think that Trump ponders political and governance issues carefully after the last 7 years of him in the arena?!?! he never considers carefully but pops off with whatever is bumbling around in his brain at the time

that's how he got impeached TWICE

What on earth??

If that is trying to say DeSantis is some kind of pawn of the GOP-E, all can say is -- -the kind of things he has done and said create their own energy.

One can hope he proves to be a case of "the young man is to be used, praised, and then shoved aside" --- and like the man in question of that quote centuries ago -- one that diverges from script spectacularly.

---

Yep, that is the Trump cultist talking point, that DeSantis is really a Romney-Bush-Cheney "Republican."

---

Remember, everyone is part of the swamp except for Trump and the people he certified as swamp-free. Except of course the long list of people he was wrong about and decided to trash after appointing them to important positions.

and just like Trump took zero heat for losing TWO senate seats in December 2020,

he will not take any blame for Masters or Oz or Walker losing on Tuesday either.

so he and his grifting sycophants will brag about how his endorsements are "276 to 3!!" which is a lie anyway, and then conveniently ignore that a candidate actually has to WIN A GENERAL ELECTION

Trump is an old and outdated clown.

Twice

Donald Trump the day after he held the ceremony for ACB's swearing in until now has been the worst thing in Republican party history. Sabotaged 2 senate seats in Georgia, gave us Walker/Oz/Masters instead of capable candidates, didn't concede on December 14 after the electors voted in their states leading to the Republican Party looking bad to Independents (Gore 2000 basically set December 14 as the cutoff date to concede), and now denigrates the most popular and successful conservative politician in America 2 days before the midterms.

Trump,a fiscal liberal, is a ****ing moron.


Desantis 2024 & 2028.

Desantis is the future. This is so bad trump, but very typical.

We're not going to get 12 years of republican presidency with trump and then two term Desantis. Ain't gonna happen.

So we can either roll the dice and maybe get Trump for four years, or:

We can all do the very smart thing and take 8 straight years of Desantis starting in 2024
