I am not sure why, but Ron DeSantis sure does get under Donald Trump’s skin.
There was a time when these two men were allies, friends even, but that has clearly changed.
Trump has become obsessed with DeSantis, recently going off on an early morning Truth Social post to try to cut DeSantis’ legs our from underneath him.
In the process, Trump seems to be coming off as a bit deranged.
One might say that he has DeSantis Derangement Syndrome (DDS).
Allies Not Enemies
In reality, the only way that DeSantis is a threat to Trump for the GOP nomination is if it is head-to-head, which it will not be.
All these anti-Trumpers that believe they are going to save the world from Trump are actually helping him get nominated.
If they truly wanted him to lose, they would have gotten together, picked one person, talked everyone else out of running, and allowed that individual to go head-to-head with Trump.
That aside, Trump needs to be loved, and people like DeSantis a lot more than they like Trump.
Which led to this post that Trump made before the sun was up…
“Great Poll numbers are springing forth for your favorite President, me, against Ron DeSanctus (& Biden). I guess people are finding out that he wanted to CUT SOCIAL SECURITY & RAISE THE MINIMUM AGE TO AT LEAST 70, at least 4 times. LIKEWISE WITH MEDICARE, WANTED BIG CUTS.
“HE IS A WHEELCHAIR OVER THE CLIFF KIND OF GUY, JUST LIKE HIS HERO, failed politician Paul Ryan, the FoxNews ratings destroyer who led Mitt Romney’s Presidential Campaign down the tubes. GLOBALIST’S [sic] ALL! WE WANT AMERICA FIRST!!!”
Trump could have played nice with DeSantis and made a super-ticket, but it has to be all about Trump.
What he does not seem to realize is that the pundits that have boosted him and supported him since 2016 are all being turned off.
Then there are the diehard Trump supporters that are now spitting venom at DeSantis supporters.
At this point, Trump will probably get the nod, but I think he will really struggle to win the general election.
