Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is finally responding to the surprise attack from former President Donald Trump last week, calling it “noise.”
DeSantis was asked by a reporter what he thinks about Trump’s “big announcement” tonight and his thoughts about Trump repeatedly attacking him. (RELATED: Trump Goes Nuclear on Gov. Ron DeSantis, Glenn Youngkin)
“Well, you know, one of the things I’ve learned in this job is when you’re doing, when you’re leading, when you’re getting things done, you take incoming fire, that’s just the nature of it,” DeSantis said. “I roll out of bed in the morning, I’ve got corporate media outlets that have a spasm, just the fact that I’m getting up in the morning, and it’s constantly attacking, and this is just what’s happened.”
“I don’t think any governor got attacked more particularly by corporate media than me over my four-year term,” DeSantis continued. “And yet, I think what you learn is all that’s just noise. And really what matters is: Are you leading? Are you getting in front of issues? Are you delivering results for people? And are you standing up for folks? And if you do that, then none of that stuff matters. And that’s what we’ve done.”
“We focused on results and leadership. And, you know, at the end of the day, I would just tell people to go check out the scoreboard from last Tuesday night,” DeSantis continued. “The fact of the matter is, it was the greatest Republican victory in the history of the state of Florida.”
Trump also targeted Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin in a shocking message. Both Republican governors have been floated as potential contenders for the Republican presidential nomination.
Trump is expected to announce his 2024 presidential campaign in a Nov. 15th announcement from Mar-a-Lago.
However, while DeSantis has decided to move past Trump’s comments the former president seems to be doubling down. In a Tuesday afternoon Truth Social message Trump targeted DeSantis again by pointing out a 2018 gubernatorial ad in which the Florida governor praises him.
In a tongue-in-cheek ad, seemingly no longer available on his YouTube page, DeSantis was shown building a toy wall and reading a book about Trump to his children, brandishing himself as a “pit bull Trump defender.”
“Hopefully TODAY will turn out to be one of the most important days in the history of our Country,” Trump teased in another Truth Social post.
He is doing his job, and a good job at that. He doesn’t need anyone telling him anything. Get off his dam back and let him do his job as governor,until he runs for president. I think Trump needs to take a chill pill, and take a break,he has been working to hard to, and needs a break.
In my opinion I believe Gov. DeSantis and President Trump would both do an extremely good job as President in 2024!
My suggestion is that you support each other! Why not make it a Trump ( he is older and should be President again! And DeSantis Vice President.
Get us straightened out the first term and then DeSantis for president in 2028!
Can you believe just how great that would be!
It would be much better than these lying sack o shit thieves that are ruining is more!!!
Youngkin, as the former CEO of the Carlyle Group, would be the perfect President to support the military/industrial complex by getting the USA into WW3.
PERFECT 👍I ‘ve said exactly the same thing many times, every medium I can.
Trump would be negligent if he didn’t give other potential candidates the opportunity to beat him. I’m confident Trump would endorse and support someone good enough to beat him in a primary.
That is a joke…..isn’t that ?
Good hes take issue on the light side
Bravo Ron
Trump remedy this Now
May effect 2024
Don’t anoint DeSantis or Younkin too early. They need to prove themselves by winning the primary.
Trump is the GOP greatest danger. He will cost the republicans any chance they have for winning in 2024. The hate for Trump is very deep and wide spread across this nation and he will give the democrats a sure win. His time has come and gone, it’s too bad his ego won’t allow him to accept that fact.
Spot on!
I agree with you 100 percent! Trump will never change, which is a shame. He needs to. grow up and stop trying to be “smart” with his silly made up names for anyone who may be a potential candidate. You can tell a lot about Desantis by him ignoring Trump’s silly, childish remarks
The fact that President Trump has announced he’s running again couldn’t make me happier. Forget DeSantis, let’s concentrate on Trump and give him our support. We need him now more than ever. Trump 2024!!!
