Donald Trump is continuing to question the Florida Governor’s political skills.
In a Sunday night Truth Social post, the former President wonders if Ron DeSantis is any good at politics at all, offering familiar support for his argument rooted in political help during the 2018 cycle.
“So why would a very disloyal Ron DeSanctimonious be considered even a good politician? He was DONE when he came to see me, losing badly to Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam by insurmountable numbers,” Trump said.
“Ron was performing poorly as a candidate, getting beaten at every turn, when he asked (begged!) me for my Endorsement, which I gave him,” Trump added.
“His then losing campaign immediately turned around, & he easily won the Republican Nomination. My Rallies then won him the General…THANKS PRESIDENT TRUMP!”
Trump has told this story many times since last November, when he first coined the “Ron DeSanctimonious” nickname.
He has contended on more than one occasion that DeSantis was crying when he made the endorsement plea.
The Truth Social hit follows a Friday night roast of the Governor in Florida, at the Lee County Lincoln Reagan Dinner in Fort Myers.
Trump launched into mockery of DeSantis begging for his endorsement, for the first time at a home state event.
“Sir. I’d love to have your support, sir. I’d love to have your support. I’m down at about three percent. I’d love to have your support.”
“And it was like a rocket ship after I gave it,” Trump added. “Otherwise right now you’d have a lawyer some place looking for business. If that.”

DeSantis a good politician? I think the real question, is whether or not he is a good human… from what he has demonstrated so far, the bullying, the misogyny, the adoption as the moral authority for everyone else? Me thinks Not!

Nobody but Trump has the balls to file frivolous litigation to overturn a free and fair election and incite a deadly riot. Nobody but Trump has the balls to say, “I just need you to find more votes than we have, or you could be in legal jeopardy.”

Takes one to know one, and I concur, they both useless mofos that are gonna cost the GOP any chance on the national stage unless Minority House Leader Mitch McConnell somehow figures out how to gerrymander state lines prior to Nov 2024, same as they gerrymandered in-state districts which is the only reason any GOPs are still in office in so-called purple states. The purple states are overflowing with blue voters but the districts are drawn red. That’s the main reason Rhonda’s Panties is Gub’ner of Fleur D’uh. It’s why unKemp is Gub’ner of Jawjuh. The the reason any GOP has any position of any influence outside flyover country. GOP need to look in the mirror instead of looking in childrens’ bras and underwears.

Trump was good at being president, but he was not presidential. This “scorching” of Ron Desantis is exactly why I won’t vote for him in a primary. When Trump ran in 2016, he was an outsider and an underdog. Trump was too nasty in that race against his own party and while he won both the primary and the general election, Trump spent two years coercing the Republicans back to his side because of the nasty way Trump primaried. Now that Trump is a past president and a front-runner, Trump has no excuse for “scorched earthing” Ron Desantis. Desantis was in the Trump wing of the Republican Party. Desantis was trying to time his run for the Presidency after the second term of Trump. I don’t mind Trump running in this election, and if Trump would have acted more presidential, I might have voted for him in the primary. But Trump has lost my vote in a primary because of the way he treats people that should be political allies. Trump is positioning himself where possibly the most logical thing, a Trump-Desantis ticket is off the table. Big mistake.

I’m not voting for Trump. Y’all idiots can follow this guy over the cliff, but I’ll go “none of the above” again. He’s not conservative, he’s a joke on policy, and he’s not fit to represent the party. We have a vegetable in the Oval Office right now. Anyone with a pulse can beat him, except Trump. Go ahead and vote for this guy, and then cry when Biden’s movable corpse beats him by 15 points.
