So 2023. What changed?
Desantis hints at, but has not announced, running for pres.
Desantis did not entertain the idea of running as Trumps VP.
Trump sees him as competition; and Trump is a ruthless competitor, even to people he is friends with. He verbally ripped rand paul and ted cruz apart; two men who are now fighting for the same policies that Trump would support.
According to Roger Stone recently on X22, Trump was made aware (by Ted Cruz, IIRC) that DeSantis had made many nice comments about Trump. Trump was then convinced to help DeSantis in his run for Governor. According to Stone, he would never have made Governor, without the help of Trump, who made many trips to Florida. Trump sees DeSantis' "flirting" with running for president as a stab in the back.
Trump vs Paul’s hair and polling low unnecessary. De Santa’s bullshit is really starting to stink though, especially with Paul Ryan adding his demon sulfur smell to it. Trump is the CLEAR choice. Everyone else should stay the fuck out for the good of the country. We KNOW what we get with Trump. No wars!
And Cruz was being a bit Cabaleze during the election.
Well stated. I dont know much about roger stone and dont endorse him but what you said is accurate.
I like stone, but honestly if what he says is true and trump is reacting to things like that on the fly it gives me less than zero hope that there is a massively complex plan.
Trumps largest flaw imo is that he has always been incredibly arrogant. The man will very rarely admit he is wrong for any reason. That’s what scares me because if the plan failed I could actually see trump never saying it out loud.
