Where is any implication of Trump's involvement?

Oh have to click on it to see it comes from Truth Social.

Meh, I will vote for whomever comes out of the primary. I don't hate Trump and I don't love Ron.

---

The fact he retweeted it would implicate him pretty strongly I think...

---

Trump didn't just retweet it

he commented on it stating "Oh Ron wouldn't do that would he?"

Unless one of these women is accusing DeSantis of something, how is this a story?

1. Biden being accused of rape by more than one woman, being accused of inappropriate touching by 6 women, photos of him grabbing and smelling women

No kidding, it looks like DeSantis is the one being grabbed in the photo.

its "now a story" because Trump and his sycophants know they can't beat DeSantis on policy or results, so they are going with the groomer label hoping that scares the LIV.

I actually think this makes him look cooler in the eyes of dudes, and also the typical suburban soccer mom that found Trump creepy and off putting. Just looks like an all American young dude livin the dream and having a beer with some cute girls who are into him.

There is nothing "bad" or "weird" about this pic. A lot of us have way worse in our possession, or did at some point.

And there is no way those were his HS students and he was their teacher./ I don't buy it. But if it was...big deal. Pales in comparison to Trump bangin pornstars and burning through wives or the even more vile sh** so many democrats are caught up in.

Non-story.

Yep...Apparently the coolest upperclassmen that we all looked up to as freshman and sophomores were all "groomers" bc they hung out with hot chicks very close to their age. According to the loyal and faithful always-and-forever-Trump cultists.

The fact that a guy like DeSantis, who regularly calls out the media and woke agenda, is considered an 'establishment' pick shows how far the party has shifted. A DeSantis would have been considered a 'radical' in the party going against the Bush family, McCain, or Romney.

---

it's more that desantis recognizes that the "establishment" has a mercurial definition and is savvy enough to navigate around it. if you look at his resume it's basically your prototypical republican presidential hopeful: undergrad at yale (like the bushes), joined DKE (like the bushes), played baseball (like the bushes), grad school at harvard (like the bushes), joined the military (like the bushes), served as a us congressman (like bush senior), then governor of a large state (like bush jr.). no private sector experience outside of a year teaching before law school.

but, he punches back against the media and wokeness, so even if he's got the resume of a bush and isn't exactly a "drain the swamp" type he comes off as "not establishment".

Punching back is the key element though...not where he went to school or his background as a Congressman. He has a set of principles and he advocates for them instead of thinking that his primary objective is compromise and getting along with everyone like the Bush family tended to.

he's very calculated in picking his fights, and will seize upon opportunities to take a public shot against the republicans' typical punching bags. and you're right, this is what makes him appealing. i get the impression that behind closed door however, he's willing to put petty grievances aside and work as an reasonable diplomat and statesman. this is why i would prefer him as president over trump.

Being too intimidated to fight back and piss off Trump and his base doesn't make him look shrewd or show strength, it makes him look like a beta.

But hey, at least Desantis has his virtue signaling about gas stoves to fall back on.

I'm disappointed bud, I've been around here as long as the damn wallpaper, and have been going at with y'all since 2015 about Trump. Trump just fights like the left, which is the only way you'll ever beat them. Desantis can't.

I lost you. You pointed out how he was like the Bushes then said he comes off as not establishment? I definitely consider the Bushs "establishment".

supposedly some "media" have run down the story and it was indeed seniors in High School when his first job after graduation was a history teacher in Georgia.

which is @$@# cool anyway to have a President who was actually a high school history teacher at one point. I think Gingrich and Hastert were as well. even though Hastert sucked.

leftists literally think DeSantis is worse than Trump and worse than Bush when it comes to conservative policy

which is why they are very afraid of him and are working to have Trump take him out.

We've had 1 history teacher/professor as President and he was one of the top 5 worst Presidents, Woodrow Wilson.

Hopefully we'll have a second who will end up being one of the best.

Trump is more terrified of DeSantis than I am of dogs or clowns.


Let that sink in.

He is terrified of him running, winning, and being a more successful President than Trump could ever be.


DeSantis hurts his ego

Post a link, because I haven't found that. The original story put out by a Democrat Super PAC said their "source" told them the girls were in high school. I don't trust that at all. The NYT hit piece makes all sorts of allegations about his time as a teacher, but none of their sources corroborated that he partied with high school girls, only that they saw him at parties the summer after they graduated. None of them could confirm the picture was of high school girls.

I hate the anonymous crap from both sides. If you're going to take something to the press, don't be a coward. Stand behind it and take the heat if you believe it to be newsworthy.

Makes him look like a man of morals and integrity. If being an alpha means just generally being a d@&k, he brings nothing to the presidency. You can be an alpha an have integrity. It just happens Trump doesn't.

When the Republicans' 2024 presidential hopes implode, just remember that it was Trump that decided to pick the fight that started it. Whether DeSantis runs or not, Trump is damaging his chances and the party's chances simply because he doesn't have it in him to share the spotlight.

He was the right guy in 2016, but fairly or not, he's going nowhere but down now. Unfortunately he seems determined to take everyone down with him.

I think trump is getting more and more desperate for attention and also realizing his biological clock is running out. He will get more outrageous as the field gets crowded and probably take himself out by saying something so stupid his kids or someone will step up and kill his campaign. I know predicting his demise has made many people wrong in the past but it appears to me he is becoming more unhinged everyday.

One thing for sure you live long enough you'll see it all……….

what other baseless allegations bother you?

baseless? Not sure how to claim baseless. I have many educators in my family none of which tell me it would ever be appropriate to go to a party with your students. That part isn't baseless, there's a picture of it. We'd be slamming Joe as a pedo rightfully so for the same picture lol. Lets not be hypocrites like the left.

Edit to note I've never seen a denial from parties involved.

---

DEAD WRONG. If a picture of a young Joe Biden came out with him drinking a beer at a house party surrounded by adult females close to his age, that would be one of the more normal things I have ever seen him do.

There is nothing at all pedophilic about this...my goodness look up the definition of pedophilia. If it is "inappropriate", it's only slightly.

This is a fuggin nothingburger....no matter how hard left wing white male feminists and Always-Trumpers want it to be "grooming" LOL.

Wrong.

TDS/Trump Derangement Syndrome was coined to refer to people who have a completely irrational hated of Trump and all things Trump. They believed, and still do, in Trump-Russia collusion. They believed Trump demanded a "quid-pro-quo" from Ukraine regarding Biden. They believed Trump committed treason and "insurrection" against the government. They believe Trump is guilty of every single crime he has been accused of committing no matter how outrageous or lacking in evidence.

Thinking Trump should not run again, that he will lose if he is the nominee, or at least he should stop with the stupid attacks on other Republicans is not TDS.
