Former President Donald Trump Slams Newspapers For
Switching To Ron DeSantisNovember 29. 2022
Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump
Former U.S. President Donald Trump has escalated his
war of words against Florida Governor, Ron DeSantis.
After being robbed of the presidency in 2020,
through electoral fraud, Trump seeks to run again in
2024, in a bid for a second term in the White House.
However, competition has arisen in the form of
DeSantis.
Originally, DeSantis was very disliked. DeSantis
went to Trump for help and he obliged. Trump helped
him raise money and implored his base to vote for
DeSantis. After a short while, DeSantis began
speaking and acting like Trump, even emulating his
hand movements and posture while giving speeches.
DeSantis then got into office.
DeSantis was recently reelected and is popular
within the Republican base. This led to his name
being tossed around as a potential 2024 presidential
candidate. When asked by Democrat politician,
Charlie Crist, if he intends to run for president in
2024, DeSantis refused to answer, which gave the
impression he is going to run. This angered Trump in
a massive way.
Now Trump has been slamming DeSantis and every
newspaper promoting him as the next possible choice
for president. Trump recently stated, "NewsCorp,
which is Fox, the Wall Street Journal, and the no
longer great New York Post, is all in for Governor
Ron DeSanctimonious." DeSantis has not really been
saying much on this matter.
Trump goes to war against DeSantis
Trump and DeSantis are on a 2024 collision course as
the Florida governor’s national stock has risen.

PM EST - TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Former President Donald
Trump publicly attacked Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis,
releasing a rambling statement Thursday blasting the
governor he helped make but who is now his chief
rival to lead the Republican Party. Just days before
he’ll likely announce he’s running for president,
Trump took credit for DeSantis’ success after
endorsing him in 2018, belittled him as “average”
and accused “Ron DeSanctimonious” of playing games
by not announcing his 2024 presidential ambitions.
“He says, ‘I’m only focused on the Governor’s race,
I’m not looking into the future.’ Well, in terms of
loyalty and class, that’s really not the right
answer,” Trump said in a statement and in a post on
his social media platform Truth social. Trump and
DeSantis are on a 2024 collision course as the
Florida governor’s national stock has risen, an
ascent punctuated Tuesday night after DeSantis won
reelection in Florida by nearly 20 points and
Trump-backed candidates across the country largely
underperformed.
DeSantis won Florida by historic margins in what was
once the nation’s largest swing state. Conservative
media institutions like Fox News have appeared to
side with DeSantis, as has the New York Post, a
Rupert Murdoch-owned tabloid that ran a front page
headline calling DeSantis “DeFuture” the day after
the election. “NewsCorp, which is Fox, the Wall
Street Journal, and the no longer great New York
Post, is all in for Governor Ron DeSanctimonious,”
