DONALD TRUMP LAYS OUT WEAKNESSES OF DESANTIS AS 2024 RACE HEATS UP
On Saturday night, shortly after his first rally of the 2024 presidential campaign in Waco, Texas, Donald Trump spoke with the media aboard Trump Force One and discussed the possibility of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis running for president (R).
“But we’ve actually had…an incredible week,” he stated. “The past three or four days have been wonderful. We’ve had the best polls we’ve ever had. They are already looking for a replacement for Ron DeSanctimonious, who crashed and turned out to be a dud. And I don’t think he can come back from what I said. You know, you see the things I said.”
Trump has previously criticized Gov. DeSantis for his leadership record on the Covid pandemic, Social Security, and Medicare, and for a “public relations inspired battle with Disney.”

“I think, a lot of weakness,” Trump said. “First of all, he lacks personality. That usually doesn’t go well for a politician. In addition to his character flaws, I believe he has a serious issue with his desire to dismantle Social Security. Remember the “wheelchair over the cliff Paul Ryan” who cost Romney the election? He was a devotee of Paul Ryan.
When asked what he thought the governor’s biggest weakness is, the president shared his perspective.

Trump added, “… he’s got no personality and he voted to hurt Social Security and Medicare. I think anybody [who] votes to destroy Social Security – you know he wanted to raise the min age to at least 70 and maybe more – that’s a tough thing.”
Trump also noted that DeSantis would not now be in office if it weren’t for his prior support of the Florida governor.
“He wouldn’t be a governor right now,” he stated. “You know where he’d be right now? Probably working either at a cigar store or a law firm, one or the other. But he wouldn’t be governor if it wasn’t for me.”
