Ron DeSantis Tells Trump He Doesn’t Spend Time Smearing Republicans

This stuff is not help

Trump shares photos of DeSantis alleging he partied and drank with high school girls when he was a teacher

Former President Donald Trump reposted a photo on Tuesday of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis that accused him of drinking alcohol with minors when he was a high school teacher.

“That’s not Ron, is it? He would never do such a thing!” Trump wrote sarcastically on his social media app, Truth Social.

The picture shows a 23-year-old DeSantis smiling between three women with blurred out faces, whose ages aren’t clear. One of the females in the photos is holding a brown glass bottle but DeSantis isn’t pictured drinking. Still, the caption reads, “Here is Ron DeSantimonious grooming high school girls with alcohol as a teacher,” followed by the vomit emoji.

Ron gave the perfect response

DeSantis says he won’t fight with Trump over Truth Social photos with high schoolers: ‘I don’t spend my time trying to smear other Republicans’

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday responded to former President Donald Trump’s sharing of a photo alleging the governor drank alcohol with minors when he was a high school teacher.

“I spend my time delivering results for the people of Florida and fighting against Joe Biden,” DeSantis said during a press conference in Ocala, Florida. “That’s how I spend my time. I don’t spend my time trying to smear other Republicans.”

DeSantis generally takes questions from the media after most press conferences, on any topic. In this case the focus of the press conference was to announce massive tax cuts in Florida with GOP legislative leaders.

Unlike Trump’s freewheeling style, DeSantis is scripted and disciplined during his public appearances. He doesn’t take questions at the end of some events and at times he eschews public appearances.

Amid criticism from the former president, DeSantis generally has stayed away from hitting Trump directly. Instead, his messages tend to be more subliminal. On Tuesday, for instance, DeSantis held an event on defamation laws in which he praised a conservative lawyer who represented Dominion Voting Machines in its defamation lawsuit against Trump ally Mike Lindell.

Will Ron run or won’t he? Regardless, I’ve noted before that it’s a bad idea for Trump to be dropping blue on blue fire, as it damages other Republicans. Seriously, how does this help? The bull in a china shop act is old, as is smearing other Republicans, which harms them and creates divisions. And, let’s say Trump loses the primaries: he will have made it that much harder for the winner to win the White House, and can damage Republicans taking the Senate and keeping the House.

He really just needs to drop out. Let the ego go. His time has passed, and he really has no shot at winning the White House again, as I’ve said many times. His policies do not matter: it’s electibility. It’s gone.

    Doesn’t this make Gov DeSantis a HYPOCRITE though?

    President Trump presents evidence of Mr DeSantis as a teacher “grooming” teenage girls to “party” with older men, a charge that Gov DeSantis makes against others, including teachers??

    Let The Don be The Don!! His trenchant observations make America strong!

    We bet Don has pictures of DeSantis in drag to tee up!!

    This is why Trump should not be president. He alienates potential allies as well as enemies and fails to recognize that he will need the support of at least one major party to fill the staff on his government. Last time, he filled it by getting recommendations from never-Trumpers.

    Teach do you think it is important to learn to what if any extent Desantis was in fact either grooming or acting inappropriately with these possibly minor children ?
    If true, would you consider that past behavior to be disqualifying ? Is it likely that some former student will begin being interviewed. Remember that Epstein began his perving at a similar elite high school.
    Trump 2024 !!!!
    Accept no substitute

    And no coverups
    Teach you made a big thing about groomers, aren’t you appalled by this behavior?

  4. Elwood P. Dowd says:

    Of course, he should not be president again! But the MAGAts aren’t concerned for America, they’re concerned about control!

    Don attacks!

    The problem the GOP has is that Donald J will most likely win the nomination. DJ’s magic is in his ability to appeal to the baser natures of his base. The insults, the faux-tough guy persona, the name-calling, the mocking, the derision, the lies and exaggerations are features!! NuCons are not concerned about Don’s lack of qualifications or his outrageous conduct but only that he might lose! NuCons need a MAGAt who is not Donald J, and DeSantis is/was? their best bet.

    The MAGAts had no idea the “groomer” nonsense would bite THEM in the ass. LOL. That’s entertainment.

    His (Trump’s) time has passed, and he really has no shot at winning the White House again, as I’ve said many times. His policies do not matter: it’s electibility.

    Why is arguably one of America’s greatest Presidents unelectable? Why aren’t MAGAts educating the ignorant masses about the greatness of Trump? If the concern is about the Dems most excellent election stealing machine why would a different candidate matter? Do Dems only want to steal elections from Trump, LOL?

    The hapless Dems plan to run pitiable, dementia Joe Biden again (provided he lives that long), so why wouldn’t the GOP support Trump?

    Why doesn’t the nuGOP trust that America’s greatest president would defeat America’s worst president?

    Since the nuGOP recognizes how delusional voters are, and that Dems steal elections, maybe the only solution is for the nuGOP to overthrow the system.
