Donald Trump is continuing to treat Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis like a political enemy. On Wednesday, Trump pooh-poohed DeSantis’s huge and historic victory by insisting that his 2020 win in Florida was bigger. “Now that the Election in Florida is over, and everything went quite well, shouldn’t it be said that in 2020, I got 1.1 Million more votes in Florida than Ron D got this year, 5.7 Million to 4.6 Million? Just asking?” Trump won Florida in 2020 by 3.4-point margin, while DeSantis won reelection by a 19.45-point margin. Sorry, Trump, I think DeSantis’s victory is far more impressive.
This ridiculous, ego-driven pettiness from Trump has got to stop.

He needs to read Ronald Reagan's 11th Commandment:
"Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican."

Hubby and I were talking last night and as much as I like Trump, I think he needs to bow out and support DeSantis. We were watching Ted Cruz on Fox and he has definitely grown and matured in the last few years. He would make a good VP. Given DeSantis and Cruz's ages, they could run this country for 16 years.

Nah.... I don't believe it.
President Trump and Governor DeSantis are playing good cop bad cop and are trolling the media and leftards.
Makes for fun watching.

Is it TRUE or isn't it? DeSantis rode that wave...as did many of the Repubs now in offices. A simple truth is not an attack. A million more votes is a substantial number in ANY state.
Crist is now the 1st in history to lose as a Repub, and independent, and as a Dem. He joins Beto, and Abrams in the three strikes...yer out club.(Where Biden belonged in a rational world)

I think one of our biggest concerns now should be that Trump pouts himself into a 3rd party run.

This just highlights Trump's pathetic need to be the center of attention.
I am now officially sick of him. Voted for him twice... lost friends over it. Now I want to never see his face again.
Conservatives need a MATURE face for the movement. One that has the attitude and demeanor of a servant and not that of a man who feasts upon how good he is and how much has had done... or not done.
I think DeSantis may be that man.
Here's to a speedy rejection of DJT moving forward...

DeSantis made his own wave. He ran the State extremely well during very trying times. Fyi, I am a Trump supporter but I can give credit where credit is due

Unnecessary, petty, and divisive — plus it feeds the MSM’s portrayal of President Trump.

I would not react to mere political jostling. It seems unnecessary. Of course it’s the goal of the enemedia to foment these divisions.
Knowing that, does Trump see it as a publicity stunt to get outsized publicity because of the predilections of the left?
Or is Trump really petty? Is politics - even intraparty politics - petty?
One of the complaints about Trump is his “mean tweets.” I’ve found them no meaner than others’ tweets. Trump just publishes under his own name. Traditional politicians publish under others’ names. I prefer the honesty, but maybe it adds a patina of pettiness.

I voted twice for Trump, and I wanted him to run again - but he’s got to keep his mouth shut. Never speak ill of another competent, successful Republican. NEVER. If he keeps this up, he’s got to go.

Forget about Trump and DeSantis, and count the darn votes. Are the Democrats done voting yet?

I get it, he's trying to make a point, but he comes across as petty and as not maturing as a candidate.
He can no longer think of himself as an outsider, he's a politician now, and needs to act like it more.
This type of comment was more acceptable back in 2015 and 2016, but not any longer. Hope Don Jr. helps explain to his father. And, if he can't contain himself or manage to control his comments, then he really needs to step back and work from the sidelines. He'll get more out of it.

They better get used to it. Being considered "the leader" puts a target on you from every direction. Ask Trump, he knows all about it and has been through it.
One thing that will turn me off from someone running is "thin skin". Running for office is not for snowflakes. I'll watch to see how they react to the criticism --- that tells me a lot about the person.

If Trump had read even one book in his life about elections, he'd know the difference has to do with the discrepancy between turnout in Presidential elections and midterm elections. Actually, forget one book, one article, one tweet, anything. It's grammar school level information.

The Democrats and MSM have done a terrific job of painting President Trump as “Orange Man Bad.” Sadly, he has done a fair job of affirming this image by attacking anyone who might get in his way. Also, his interference in the 2019 runoff for Georgia Senators is credited for losing the Republican majority in the Senate. He has made himself toxic. Attacking DeSantis only makes him look mean and nasty.
He would be better thought of taking the role of elder statesman than that of a bull in a china shop.

The quote from Trump about getting more votes in 2020 than DeSantis in 2022 doesn't bother me since Trump is well known for patting himself on the back. Doesn't bother me. What does bother me is Trump's threat that we has dirt on DeSantis. That doesn't play well especially since DeSantis has not uttered one negative word about Trump. Until now Trump didn't attack politicians or others until they had first attacked him. That bothers me a lot and reflects very poorly on Trump.

If people want to get off the Trump train they have the right. Is this going to split the Party? That would be very bad timing. DeSantis is an adult. He can decide how he wants to handle Trump. Politics is a dirty game. Don’t lose sleep over it.

It’s amazing to me how many Trump supporters have been so easily and quickly taken in by this obvious game that is being played. There is no feud, and no animosity. It’s theatre. Relax, and take a breath. #s 3, 17, 19 & 27 get it.

EGO, thin skin, jealousy, or maybe just a combination of all that. Trump looks like DeSantis is living inside his head. The sheer stupidity of his mean tweet does not look like a normal response to a great victory by DeSantis.

Where was the outrage from the so called conservative media during Trumps 2 impeachments, the Mueller 54 million $$ mess, the Russia hoax, the raid of his home by 36 agents & the one sided J6 committee??????
