It\u2019s been happening for many, many years. And if you look at the good thing about it, though, is like if you take a crisis situation like COVID, you know, the good thing about it is when you\u2019re an elected executive, you have to make all kinds of decisions. You got to steer that ship. And the good thing is, is that the people are able to render a judgment on that, whether they reelect you or not,\u201d the governor explained. \u201cAnd I\u2019m happy to say, you know, in my case, not only did we win reelection, we won with the highest percentage of the vote that any Republican governor candidate has in the history of the state of Florida.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe won by the largest raw vote margin over 1.5 million votes than any governor candidate has ever had in Florida history. And in fact, we almost doubled the previous record, which I think was like 780,000 vote margin. And so what I would just say is that verdict has been rendered by the people of the state of Florida,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This statement only served to fuel Trump\u2019s fire, prompting him to hit back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRemember, I was 233-20 in the Midterms, and got 1.2 Million Votes MORE than Ron DeSanctimonious in the Great State of Florida. Also, 12 Million MORE Votes in 2020 than in 2016, and Won!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He then responded to a Truth Social user who claimed Trump \u201cwill destroy\u201d DeSantis if they are to go up against each other in the presidential primary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThank you. The real Ron is a RINO GLOBALIST, who closed quickly down Florida and even its beaches,\u201d he said. \u201cLoved the Vaccines and wasted big money on \u2018Testing.\u2019 How quickly people forget!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He went on to \u201creTruth\u201d many disparaging comments about DeSantis and Ryan, as well as posting an article about Senator Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., declaring his undying support for Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s not clear whether DeSantis will throw his hat in the ring for 2024, or will maintain his current position at the helm of Florida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/americanwirenews.com\/trump-takes-to-truth-social-to-launch-attack-on-rino-globalist-desantis\/\">https:\/\/americanwirenews.com\/trump-takes-to-truth-social-to-launch-attack-on-rino-globalist-desantis\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to launch an attack on Florida Governor Ron DeSantis whom he dubbed a \u201cRINO globalist.\u201d The incident began Tuesday night when Trump posted a nearly five-year-old video of DeSantis discussing how he would like to be a leader akin to then-GOP congressional leader Paul Ryan.
