"SNIP.......

“Donald Trump in recent months has been telling confidants that he may launch his 2024 presidential campaign early — and that he’s considering launching it in Florida to stick it to Gov. Ron DeSantis,” Rolling Stone reports.

“Trump has kicked around staging a large, flashy launch rally (with fireworks, of course) that would announce his White House bid before the 2022 midterm elections.”

“People who’ve spoken to Trump say that one reason he’s eying the Sunshine State is to assert his dominance over an ascendant DeSantis, who — if they both run in 2024 — would likely be the former president’s most formidable competitor in a primary fight for the GOP nomination. One of the sources said Trump’s motivation is to show the governor ‘who the boss is’ in the modern-day GOP.”

2. I think he hopes by launching his campaign so early, he can protect against indictments

Anyone willing to place a bet on whether or not DeSatan tries to keep TFG off the ballot in Florida? Cord Byrd is the Secretary of State who refuses to say if Biden won the 2020 election. Seems like a real stand-up guy.

5. Probably a lot of Republicans begging him to wait until after the midterms to announce anything--

so of course Donny wants to do the exact opposite. Seems to me it would be more likely to energize casual Democratic voters who rarely show up for midterm elections.

Sadly there’s upwards of 25% of the population who fall for this every time.

DeSantis is like the evil apprentice, waiting for just the right moment to kill the mentor that taught him everything and take over his empire. DeSantis is a better politician, just as cruel, better speaker... he's absolutely terrifying honestly.

That being said, drumpf still leads the cult and his followers are willing to literally overthrow the government for him. drumpf will still win that battle vs any MAGA party member?

I want to see Floridians MAGA heads explode while they try to figure out whether to support their cult leader or their cult leader mini-me.
