But he ought to look at his poll numbers, which are plummeting like nobody has ever seen them before,\u201d Trump said. \u201cIt is because he\u2019s just an ordinary Republican governor with excellent PR, much more than warranted.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to a Monmouth University survey issued on Tuesday, Trump is 14 points ahead of DeSantis with 41% of GOP supporters wanting him to win the party\u2019s nomination. Other recent polling has also indicated that Trump would easily defeat DeSantis in a showdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a second Truth Social post, Trump reiterated his criticism of \u201cDeSanctimonious.\u201d DeSantis chose to contact the former president after speaking with Piers Morgan during the interview, and Trump claimed that it was an attempt to \u201crescue his failing Campaign.\u201d DeSantis has not yet declared his intention to run in the GOP primary, but this seems plausible. Added Trump:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRon DeSanctimonious is not advocating for the citizens of Florida as he should be because he\u2019s too busy conversing with a ratings-challenged English News anchor, trying desperately to save his failing Campaign\u2014But that\u2019s my fault, I put him there. \u201cWhilst I am battling against Radical Left Lunatics, Persecutors, as well as unjust Prosecutors who seek to destroy us all.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The greatest hint yet regarding DeSantis\u2019 plans for 2024 came in his interview with Morgan: \u201cI possess what it requires to be president and I can beat Biden.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moreover, DeSantis made light of one of Trump\u2019s pet names for him. He confessed, \u201cI don\u2019t know how to spell the sanctimonious one. I kind of like it, but I have no idea what it means. It\u2019s lengthy. There are many vowels in it. That\u2019s okay; we\u2019ll go with it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI mean, you can call me anything you want, as long as you also call me a winner,\u201d said DeSantis.&nbsp; \u201cSince that\u2019s what we have been able to accomplish here in Florida, put an enormous amount of points on the board and really push this State to a higher level.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the greatest accusations against Trump may have been made when DeSantis was questioned about a prospective indictment by the Manhattan district attorney during a press conference. The governor emphasized his helplessness to address the circumstance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI have no idea about what goes into paying a porn star hush money so they will keep quiet regarding an alleged affair,\u201d DeSantis added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Original Article: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebeardedpatriot.com\/donald-trump-takes-off-the-gloves-body-slams-desantis\/\">https:\/\/www.thebeardedpatriot.com\/donald-trump-takes-off-the-gloves-body-slams-desantis\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Thursday, following the governor\u2019s previous criticism of him, former President Trump responded by referencing polling data in response to Governor Ron DeSantis (R). \u201cRon DeSanctimonious is moving quickly\u2014without moving quickly!
