Trump taunts DeSantis, sharing video claiming Fl Gov would be destroyed trying to run against him

Source: Business insider

Former President Donald Trump took a shot at Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on his Truth Social platform, amid speculation the pair will be leading rivals in the battle for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.

In the post, Trump shared a clip of podcaster and former Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly being interviewed by BlazeTV host Dave Rubin about a potential Trump-DeSantis showdown.

"The only way DeSantis is going to become the Republican nominee is if Trump chooses not to run and endorses him or dies," she remarks in the clip, saying that hardcore MAGA supporters would never abandon Trump.

Ending in DeSantis being the nominee and Trump screaming "Stolen! Don't vote for him!" all the way to November.

Here's to hoping that 45* tells his cult not to vote next month in the Florida election for governor.

They have a long and bitter primary during which they damage the hell out of each other but which DeSantis ultimately wins, after which Trump launches an independent bid that splits the GOP vote. Then Joe (or whoever, if he decides not to go for a second term) wins in a landslide.

As things stand right now I'd say that's pretty unlikely. However, Trump has a lot of court cases going on right now and is in serious jeopardy as a result. If those go badly for him...

I hope it ends in a draw, with both of them in a steaming pile of shit on the floor.

I think Trump would look like a complete idiot because DeSantis really doesnt give a rats ass about him & Trump would HAVE to make it about him. No telling WHAT he'd say about Desantis
