Donald Trump has attacked Ron DeSantis lately as the governor prepares to run for president. Donald’s last attack was calling DeSantis a RINO who hides his past.
This morning DeSantis was on Fox and Friends, and he was asked about recent attacks from Donald Trump and Nikki Haley.
Mr. DeSantis said if people don’t do their job, they “fly under the radar.”
“If people are not firing at me, I must not be doing my job. So I view it really as positive feedback.”
We don’t want to see Republicans obliterate one another. That’s apparently how DeSantis feels, also. He told the Washington Examiner he wants other Republicans to do well.
“I want other Republicans to do well. I don’t want any Republican to do poorly, so I’m not in a situation where taking potshots against other Republicans is something that I think is beneficial.
“I think get it done, keep your eye on the ball, and just keep delivering results and fighting back against the Biden administration,” he said.
DeSantis has also said he’s fighting Biden, not Republicans.
DeSantis is coming to Staten Island today to talk about crime and policing. He is undoubtedly on the campaign trail.
We will be very interested in hearing about his views on foreign affairs once he addresses it.
The Governor has been slipping in the polls lately and Donald Trump is on the rise.

DeSantis was a shoe in for the Presidency in 2028 if didn’t get overly ambiguous and worked a Deal for the VP slot. Now he probably will never be in the White House.
DeSantis does not need to be a VP and I believe if he ran in 2024 he would win. He is so popular and successful. They are all trying to smear him now because of that popularity, including Trump which is not a good look. I love Trump & was biggest supporter ever but some things have transpired & don’t think he’d pull it out this time (even though I truly believe he was elected in 2020).
DeSantis can not win on a National Stage. He has just as many enemies as Trump and no track record nationally. He has no international experience in either Business or Government. He has no big vision. DeSantis is a social Conservative in a Socially Conservative State while Trump is more Libertarian and can attract the Moderate Vote. Desantis will compromise when it’s good for DeSantis!
