    Trump has been throwing darts at DeSantis by insinuating that he won't say if he has had COVID booster shots.


    Who Is King of Florida? Tensions Rise Between Trump and a Former Acolyte

    excerpt:

    "That long-stewing resentment burst into public view recently in a dispute over a seemingly unrelated topic: Covid policies. After Mr. DeSantis refused to reveal his full Covid vaccination history, the former president publicly acknowledged he had received a booster. Last week, he seemed to swipe at Mr. DeSantis by blasting as “gutless” politicians who dodge the question out of fear of blowback from vaccine skeptics.

    Mr. DeSantis shot back on Friday, criticizing Mr. Trump’s early handling of the pandemic and saying he regretted not being more vocal in his complaints."

    Who Is King of Florida? Tensions Rise Between Trump and a Former Acolyte

    excerpt:

    "At its core, the dispute amounts to a stand-in for the broader challenge confronting Republicans at the outset of midterm elections. They are led by a defeated former president who demands total fealty, brooks no criticism and is determined to sniff out, and then snuff out, any threat to his control of the party.

    That includes the 43-year-old DeSantis, who has told friends he believes Mr. Trump’s expectation that he bend the knee is asking too much. That refusal has set up a generational clash and a test of loyalty in the de facto capital of today’s G.O.P., one watched by Republicans elsewhere who’ve ridden to power on Mr. Trump’s coattails.

    Already, party figures are attempting to calm matters.

    “They’re the two most important leaders in the Republican Party,” said Brian Ballard, a longtime Florida lobbyist with connections to both men, predicting Mr. Trump and Mr. DeSantis “will be personal and political friends for the rest of their careers.”"

    People used to say that about McConnell and Trump, but Trump's demand for total loyalty, even during a violent insurrection that threatened McConnell's life, parted those two.

    DeSantis won the 2018 Florida gubernatorial election by 0.4% (about 33,000 votes) over Gillum that involved a machine recount. He barely won with a large amount of Trump's help.


    Who Is King of Florida? Tensions Rise Between Trump and a Former Acolyte

    excerpt:

    "Mr. DeSantis was a little-known Florida congressman in 2017, when Mr. Trump, who was then the president, spotted him on television and took keen interest. Mr. DeSantis, an Ivy League-educated military veteran and smooth-talking defender of the new president, was exactly what Mr. Trump liked in a politician.

    It wasn’t long before Mr. Trump blessed Mr. DeSantis’s bid for governor and sent in staff to help him, lifting the lawmaker to a victory over a better-known rival for the party’s nomination.

    Mr. DeSantis survived the general election and has often governed in a style that mirrors his patron, slashing at the left and scrapping with the news media. But that alone doesn’t placate Mr. Trump. As with other Republicans he has endorsed, the former president appears to take a kind of ownership interest in Mr. DeSantis — and to believe that he is owed dividends and deference."

    The mere act of putting the two names Jesus and Trump next to each other on a hat is degrading.

    Degrading to Jesus, that is.

    Trump might think the opposite.

    A crackpot cast: Lindell, Lake, Gosar, Biggs, Lesko, Ward, and Finchem.


    Trump Soft-Launches His 2024 Campaign

    excerpt:

    "The pre-Trump headliner was Kari Lake, the former TV-news reporter running to replace Governor Doug Ducey; she alleges, falsely, that “bag loads of ballots” were dumped in Arizona last year. (“Kari Lake, she’s been with us from the beginning on the election fraud,” Trump gushed when he brought her back on stage for a cameo during his speech.) Other speakers included secretary-of-state candidate Mark Finchem, who was at the Capitol last January 6 and who often wears a cowboy hat and bolo tie despite being from Michigan; Paul Gosar, Andy Biggs, and Debbie Lesko, three Trump-loving members of Congress who voted against certifying Biden’s win in 2020; and Arizona GOP chair Kelli Ward, who has embraced numerous conspiracy theories and recently received a cease-and-desist notice from Dominion Voting Systems after accusing the company of changing 6,000 Trump votes to Biden votes. Each of these Republicans has repeatedly echoed Trump’s false allegations of election mischief. Of course they have. This is the former president’s new litmus test: You endorse the lie; he endorses you."

    Just curious, how do the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, and Three Percenters justify their support for trump when he supports Israel?

    I saw trump had some Blacks for Trump at his Arizona rally. I hope these people realize they were being exploited.

    Also very ironic since if there's anyone I'm absolutely sure is going to Hell, its Trump.

    I've been to Florence, in Arizona. I don't think a single Black Man lives there. If any showed up for that event, they would have been paid and bussed in.

    I agree, but it’s sad that they were willing to me bought off.

    Article from November 2020.

    Trump disappeared for a couple weeks after the election and his hair went gray.

    Legitimately losing to Biden was difficult for him until he started fabricating stolen election narratives to cope with reality.

    The author of the article was correct that Trump would change his stance and not stay quiet for too long.


    Trump Is No Longer Even Pretending To Care About His Job

    excerpt:

    “If I lose to him, I don’t know what I’m going to do,” Donald Trump said at a campaign rally in September, as he trailed Joe Biden in the polls. “You’ll never see me again.” It was delivered, like much of what he says in his freewheeling addresses to supporters, with the cadence of a joke, and it mostly was. Trump aspired to be the most ubiquitous man in America, and over the last five or so years he’s achieved that dubious goal, but the idea that, even in defeat, this compulsive attention-seeker would just fade into obscurity was laughable.
