High-profile Trump supporters are swiping at GovRonDeSantis over his muted response as the ManhattanDA weighs charges against Donald Trump. This has reportedly made Trump 'angry' as he plans to take DeSantis down himself.
High-profile Trump supporters are swiping at the Florida governor over his muted response as the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office weighs charges against the former president in a case involving alleged hush money payments made to porn star Stormy Daniels in 2016.“The president is very, very angry with all of these people. He does not need these proxies,” a former campaign adviser said. “If he’s going to take out Ron DeSantis politically, then he will be the one doing it.
Prominent supporters such as political activists Jack Posobiec, Alex Bruesewitz, and Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr. have pressed DeSantis to condemn the potential indictment as a politically motivated witch hunt. Others have rallied behind Trump’s call to “take our nation back.” “This is becoming a proxy battle between the Lisa Boothes and the John Cardillos and the Buck Sextons of the world," this person said, dismissing some voices as being “paid to put a ring of protection around Ron DeSantis."
While the indictment is expected to bolster Trump within the Republican field, some close to Trump worry the protests could damage the former president politically if violence erupts. DeSantis’s quip set off a wave of condemnation, with Trump Jr. accusing the governor of acting as a stooge for the Republican establishment.
Trump has swiped at DeSantis repeatedly in recent weeks, maligning the former congressman as a member of “the Paul Ryan Republican establishment” as he works to discredit the governor’s record. Trump claimed DeSantis would be working “at a law firm or maybe a Pizza Hut” absent his endorsement in the 2018 gubernatorial race.
