Trump previews 2024 rivalry with Ron 'DeSanctimonious' at PA rally
by Virginia Aabram, Congressional Reporter
November 05, 2022 10:34 PM
While teasing his expected 2024 presidential run at a rally for Pennsylvania's top-ticket Republicans, former President Donald Trump waded into what could be his most contentious rivalry of the next campaign cycle.
Trump christened Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, one of the most popular Republicans in the country, with one of his famous epithets: Ron "DeSanctimonious." The jab sets up what could turn into the primary contest for the GOP's 2024 presidential nomination.
The former president bragged that over 70% of Republicans surveyed in a Rasmussen poll in September wanted him president again, while only 10% supported DeSantis. Trump is expected to make a formal announcement of his White House bid on Nov. 14.

It was cringe-worthy..at least for me...why he had to say it is beyond me..

His inner child is never far beneath the surface.

So much for Trump being a "counter-puncher" who only criticizes those who attack him. He revealed a lot more about himself with this comment than he did about DeSantis. It is precisely what so many of us find disarming about him.

He is just a mean spirited little baby.

Countdown to when we are told we don’t understand Trump’s strategy and he was playing (insert number here) dimensional chess

I suspect we’ll soon learn what he was counter-punching. @massadvj

Oh, boo hoo. Like no politician has ever referred to another by an insulting name at a campaign rally.
Politics ain’t bean bags, it’s a contact sport.
-
You might want to let the guy formally jump into the race before attacking him, because it looks weak, as if you are scared to take him on.

Exactly!
Besides, he dominates the media 247 with this stuff... it is funny how he can manipulate them

Conservatives turn on Trump for attacking Ron DeSantis ahead of midterms: ‘What an idiot’
DeSantis is among the most popular and successful Republicans in the country
By Anders Hagstrom | Fox News
Conservative commentators who are typically Donald Trump's allies turned on the former president after he went after Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Saturday.
Trump mocked DeSantis as "Ron DeSanctimonious" while discussing the 2024 Republican presidential primary at a rally in Pennsylvania. The pair is widely considered to be the top contenders for the Republican nomination, though DeSantis has offered no indication he intends to run. Commentators called out Trump for creating division in the ranks just three days before the midterm elections.
"DeSantis is an extremely effective conservative governor who has had real policy wins and real cultural wins. Trump isn’t going to be able to take this one down with a dumb nickname. He better have more than that up his sleeve," wrote Matt Walsh, a commentator at The Daily Wire and a leading voice among social conservatives.
"Also, nice job launching your public attack against the most popular conservative governor in America three days before the midterms when we’re all supposed to be showing a united front," he added.

Many other influential figures on the right weighed in against Trump.

Exactly
If this was in the heat of the 2024 GOP primary, well it would be understandable, even expected. I wonder if Trump has some envy
-
Someone should warn The Donald that he may not want to make an enemy out of DeSantis. It’s not guaranteed that he would beat the governor in a head-to-head.

Trump never learned that silence is golden. I'll bet there is a tattoo on the back of Trump's neck that says, "Open mouth, insert foot".

Corbe...
Since it looks like Trump has initiated 2024 campaign, it might be a good time for a preference Poll between Trump v. DeSantis.
Results might be interesting and surprising.

Please put your virtue signaling aside for a moment and try to understand what is going on ---- all rooted in the on-going battle within the party to stop Trump's second term.
Ron DeSantis is not MAGA. He turned to Trump in 2018, a very popular President in Florida, to save him from losing the governorship to a drug addict. Trump obliged and DeSantis squeaked out a razor thin victory to go on and be very good for Florida; his opponent entered rehab.
But, make no mistake about it, RDS's political roots are in the DC swamp. He spent his entire tenure in the House under the wings of Paul Ryan and Kevin McCarthy ----- I'd guess Ron fancies himself another (aging) 'Young Gun" rather than an American Firster. RDS ended his run for the Senate in 2016 at the request of Mitch McConnell -- even though he had solid poll numbers and campaign cash --- and ran instead for his House seat, which he won with Ryan's help. These are RDS's political buddies.
The Ryan/DeSantis team has been poking, podding, goading Trump and his team for months and other than the occassional flick of his third finger, Trump has been very restrained----surprising many. But then RDS's intentions came out of the shadows and he publicly declared which team he's on with the robo call in support of the GOP Senate candidate promising to work against Trump in 2024 --- This is the first punch @massadvj
The Ryan/DeSantis team wanted more push back from Trump --- or made a strategic blunder. Either way this is self-inflicted by DeSantis and he deserves no sympathy for Trump's (very reserved) reaction --- nor does Trump deserve a scolding or a lecture ---- making your reaching for the "we were right about Trump" scepter a bit premature.
Rich Baris had more to say about this. I posted it below.

Rich Baris “The People’s Pundit”
@Peoples_Pundit
I’ll tell everyone what it was right now, though it’s not the smartest fight for REPs to have before a midterm.
When Ron DeSantis is chatting with @kevinomccarthy and Team Paul Ryan behind the back of the man who made him the governor of Florida, it was bound to happen.
__________
It’s called a shot across the bow and it’s in response to what Trump has been hearing is going on behind his back, which more than a half of dozen donors and scores of sitting congressman have told me is true.
___________
They’ve targeted Ron DeSantis as the stool they believe is their best chance to foil another Trump Presidency and after enough hammering away at him and blowing up his head, there are indications that it is working.
But make no mistake, it is a DC establishment plan and is true.
_________
I’ve received at least a half dozen calls from GOP donors who have told me the contents of their conversations AND sitting members of Congress have confirmed it.
@GOPLeader Kevin McCarthy and Paul Ryan have hatched a plan to defeat MAGA in 2024 and Ron DeSantis is the stool.
__________
Sorry if that hurts some of your feelings, but it’s true and those of you most likely to bitch about me saying it don’t know what the Hell you’re talking about.
If DeSantis doesn’t bite, though he has been more lately, their next target is @GlennYoungkin

But wait, is this more of Trump's fourth dimensional chess? Is Trump denigrating DeSantis with the end game of getting left leaning undecides to say well if Trump doesn't like him then I'll vote for him after all? :pondering: Okay I thought it was bullshiite when I wrote it too!

Yes, it is @debrawiest But, the ones running this sh*tshow on the GOP side are just fine with another four years with "D" in the WH -----

You can't tell me you didn't cringe a little when Trump said this...there was a noticeable pause in the audience...my complaint is he should have waited a few days...not prudent to make himself the topic of conversation right before a huge election like this...it should all be centered on the candidates not Trump.

This is exactly what we don't need right now...splitting the Repub party and taking sides.

The GOP has been split for decades, it is time for the globalists to leave the governing to the big boys and get out of the way.

I’m fine with this if it keeps Trump out of the White House. Plenty of time to form a third party challenge, should the boomer rednecks give Trump the nomination. Get people thinking about it now.

That’s the problem with politicians. They spend a lot of their time pretending. Trump doesn’t. He plans ahead for actualities. If DeSantis—whom I happen to respect—does enter the ‘24 race, then he could pose a threat to Trump’s ambitions.
Now, I think democrats have shown us in every way possible they are terrified of Trump, so Trump’s the man to beat AFAIC. He knows where the bodies are buried and he’s bringing a shovel to office. His second term could be a blockbuster sequel to Trump’s first term. You don’t want to miss it.

President Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America, hosts a “Get Out the Vote Rally” in support of endorsed candidate and special guest Senator Marco Rubio in Florida, where his 2022 endorsement record is currently undefeated, 19-0.
President Trump delivered a historic red wave for Florida in the 2018 midterms with his slate of endorsed candidates up and down the ballot and molded the Sunshine State into the MAGA stronghold it is today. Thanks to President Trump, Florida is no longer a purple state; it’s an America First Red State.

I agree 100% @massadvj President Trump and I will NEVER be golf buddies. That much is certain but I'm not looking for more golf buddies presently and Trump has earned my vote if he wants it.

I think Desantis hurt poor Donny’s feelings when he endorsed Joe O’Dea so he’s lashing out
In fact, I predict after the midterms that many of these newly elected will work to distance themselves from Trump the individual vs Trump the policies

No ideas this was the source of the comment. I’m sorry, but…chosen by God? In my opinion, that’s over the top for a political message. Apparently, president Trump agreed.
I assume DeSantis, the name derived from the Latin word "sanctus," meaning "holy" or "devout," is the basis for the political ad, and thus the Desanctimonius comment.
Trump gets a pass on this one.
