Donald Trump is thumping Ron DeSantis for how he spent his Independence Day.
The former President took to Truth Social with a withering appraisal of the Florida Governor’s sojourn to New Hampshire for a doubleheader of July 4 parades.
“Ron DeSanctimonious is getting absolutely ‘demolished’ for yesterday’s performance in New Hampshire,” Trump contended. “No crowds, no enthusiasm, no interest. His Campaign is in total disarray. He’s hurting himself very badly for 2028. See, loyalty does matter with Patriots!”
DeSantis marched in a pair of July 4th parades in the towns of Wolfeboro and Merrimack, a ritual that campaigns and candidates indulged Tuesday.
The Wolfeboro event was streamed on local community access television, and scattered “USA” chants greeted the Governor, his wife, and a handful of supporters as they passed by the cameras. If he offered remarks ahead of that morning parade, they were not memorialized.
“Great to be here in New Hampshire. I’m surprised we had such a great turnout given how the weather was like this. But I think everyone knows that in New England, you just have to be prepared for any weather,” DeSantis said after the rainy Merrimack event, promising that his campaign would be “doing so much more here.”
DeSantis wasn’t alone in Merrimack. Primary rivals Gov. Doug Burgum of North Dakota, former U.S. Rep. Will Hurd of Texas, and U.S. Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina also were on hand for the Granite State get together.
The Governor’s trip followed up on recent grim polls.
The latest St. Anselm College Survey Center poll shows former President Donald Trump leading DeSantis, 47% to 19% in a crowded field. DeSantis has lost 10 points since the poll’s last administration, with Trump gaining 5, meaning that DeSantis’ deficit has more than doubled since the spring.
A New Hampshire Journal-Coefficient poll of more than 900 likely voters taken June 14-16 showed the Florida Governor with just 13% support. That number put him a staggering 34 points behind Trump (47%), and just 4 points above Chris Christie.
A June National Research Inc. survey of 500 likely New Hampshire Republican Primary voters showed DeSantis with just 12% support.
The Race to the White House polling average shows Trump ahead of DeSantis 45% to 13% in a crowded field, and 49% to 25% if the race were between just the two of them.

Okay I’ll bite on RTK’s change-of-subject bait.
Why are conservatives so obsessed with Biden’s son Hunter?
Don’t y’all know Hunter is like 50 years old? You don’t want Hunter. You can quit grooming him now. He’s OLD.

“I’m not obsessed, I’m not obsessed with Hunter,” Thomas Kaspar continues to insist as he slowly shrinks and transforms into a corn cob.

That high of 79 definitely kept the crowds away. LOL @ Rhonda thinking folks can’t find out what the weather was like. Stupid, stupid Rhonda.

DeSSgustus may fall.

Parade Rhonda

Rhonda went all the way to NH to be in a parade, but they stayed in their blackout SUV the whole time? With the blackout windows closed? Rhonda did not even do their princess wave?
What was there, a drag queen somewhere on the parade route? I hear drag queens are very dangerous.

Joe Biden’s refusal to acknowledge his granddaughter makes him unfit to be president

But launching a coup to prevent certification of electoral ballots or tricking migrants onto a plane with lies about jobs, and flying them across the country is OK.
Got it.

I would say a coup against our democracy and supporting people who murdered people on January 6 should make you ineligible. Also, Where in the hell is Melania these days? Searching for her next sugar daddy after grandpa Trump goes to jail? I bet she is prolly one of the biggest supporters of the special counsel to do so lol
My Take

Melania and the pool boy are looking at new Corvettes.

RTK might be onto something. Consider Trump refusing to acknowledge his own daughter Tiffany. Ignoring a granddaughter isn’t as bad as ignoring a daughter, but it’s still not great.

Nonsense . Google Tiffany Trump wedding . No evidence ever of Marlas daughter Tiffany treated like Hunters kid who just receiived a choice of Hunters fine paintings in settlement with Biden himself worth $75,000,000 now verse needing to sell a house for cash as Vice President . We all know now how Hunter found the money .

Thomas says ignoring Marla’s daughter is fine, but “ignoring” your grand daughter by giving her dad $75 million? That’s no good! Thomas you’re a strange one. A strange one, indeed. No idea what you’re talking about, as usual, but also as usual for comments upon comments, it doesn’t make any sense at all.

I do apologize, Thomas. I must have misinterpreted “Google Tiffany Trump wedding” that you wrote. What does that even mean? Did she marry someone named Google or not? Barney Google, I figure?
Pedo-centric Dems. What does that even mean? Liberals who walk instead of using a car to go everywhere while getting fatter?
I do know what “update my browser” means, and my browser tells me it’s up to date. Thanks for the reminder, though!

“Blogs are no place for the dimwitted .”
Simple observation–widely and through time–argues against that.

but it has since been confirmed that the cocaine was actually found in a more secure location near an entrance used by various staff members from different government agencies. The place where the drug was found is also near the Situation Room — a conference room and intelligence-management center located in the basement of the West Wing.
Spoiler warning
Hunter snuck away during fireworks to the situation room . He could have done a test already to disprove..
