Donald Trump is offering a counter-narrative to a recent major endorsement for Ron DeSantis.
On Truth Social, the former President fulminated over Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt endorsing the Florida Governor during a campaign rally Saturday in Tulsa.
“Gov. Kevin Stitt of Oklahoma, who I didn’t know very well, called me before his last election to say he was in BIG trouble and very much needed my Endorsement. I LOVE Oklahoma & won 77 out of 77 Counties, something that never happened before. Ronald Reagan was next with 56. Anyway, I gave him my endorsement, he immediately went way up, and won,” Trump contended.
“Now, despite the fact that DeSanctimonious is losing to Joe Biden, & me, Stitt just endorsed him. Wow!”
“I believe he is the right guy to beat Joe Biden and to be in office for eight years,” said Stitt while introducing DeSantis. “I am officially 100% endorsing Ron DeSantis for President.”
DeSantis hailed the “tremendous endorsement” from Stitt, vowing to “do him proud,” ahead of a speech where he outlined the path to “American renewal.”
Former President Trump has continually maintained that his endorsement was pivotal to DeSantis getting elected Governor in 2018, and that DeSantis was “disloyal” for running against him. The Florida Governor continues to be a refrain in Trump speeches, such as remarks to Republicans in the Tar Heel State that came just after Stitt endorsed DeSantis.
“He’s changing his name. Now, it’s Dee-Santis,” Trump said at the North Carolina Republican Party Convention on Saturday. “And I put a little message out: Never change your name in the middle of a campaign. You don’t change your name in the middle of a campaign.”
Public polling of the Sooner State is scant, but one survey from March showed a single-digit race. In a survey from Cole, Hargrave, Snodgrass and Associates, 38% of the 300 registered Republicans polled said they back Trump, with 29% preferring DeSantis, 11% of voters saying they are undecided, and other choices taking the balance of support.

The Donald’s red eyes are so filled with rage that he cannot see clearly enough right now to read between the lines.
Stitt’s alleged endorsement really only called DeSantis a pile of poo on the ground.

See the 2022 midterms to understand how a Trump endorsement is the kiss of political death!

Why does Ron DeSantis like “Dee” better than “Rhonda?”
A man with a girl’s name who stands 5’6″ is a man with a girl’s name who stands 5’6″ regardless of whether people call him “Dee” or call him “Rhonda,” and regardless of whatever trans drag queens do in their spare time.
Rhonda “Dee” DeSantis it is!

Rhonda Santis is a fascist wannabe dictator. His culture wars are going nowhere in the general election if he happens to beat the orange bozo for the nomination. He has no actual policy for getting America to a better place. No Republican has any actual policy for getting America to a better place. They are all divisive and many of them are spineless when they can’t even call out a criminal for being a criminal. The 30% block that is owned by the traitor tot is not enough to win a national election. Republicans rely on the electoral college to steal elections because they can’t win the popular vote. Have you heard the phrase one man one vote? It has no relevance today. Vote blue. Also LOCK HIM UP!!
