Mod: The two frontrunners for the 2024 Republican Party presidential nomination are calling each other names.Staff Says Ron DeSantis Mocks Trump as a Moron (PoliticusUSAlink): One of DeSantis’s greatest gifts is the ability to hide his serious intellect behind the facade of being a bumbling idiot. DeSantis is smart enough to know that if he appears to wield his serious intelligence (Yale, Harvard Law), he is finished as a MAGA. He wouldn’t be as “real.”
It makes
DeSantis especially dangerous. He is smart enough to know that
Trump is an utter moron and isn’t afraid to talk about it. He is also smart enough to be all-
MAGA and all-effective, unlike
Trump.
From Vanity Fair: While DeSantis and the former president are already locked in a 2024 cold war, the smackdown has been unfolding off camera. According to a former DeSantis congressional staffer, DeSantis trashes Trump in private.
“He calls him a TV personality and a moron who has no business running for president,” the former staffer said. DeSantis tells donors that, if he takes on Trump, he would launch a full frontal attack on his record and competence, according to a GOP source briefed on the conversations. “DeSantis says the only way to beat Trump is to attack him head-on.”
Trump rips 'fat,''phony,''whiny' DeSantis as he aims to clear 2024 GOP field (
Washington Examinerlink): Former
President Donald Trump offered a stunning rebuke of
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis as polls show the latter posing a significant obstacle to the former's 2024 plans.
Trump shared his opinions about his former ally to
New York Times reporter
Maggie Haberman, whom he spoke to in an on-the-record capacity three times as part of the research for her new book:
Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America.
Haberman shared details of those conversations in an article for the
Atlantic published Sunday, in which the former president claimed credit for
DeSantis winning the
GOP gubernatorial nomination back in 2018.
The
45th president called the
Florida governor “
fat,” “
phony,” and “
whiny" when
Haberman asked about him during a meeting late this summer at the
Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in
New Jersey. It is not clear if
Trump offers additional disparaging remarks about
DeSantis that are documented in the book and not the
Atlantic article.
