In latest low blow, Donald Trump amplifies attack labeling Ron DeSantis a 'groomer'

That material is well-rehearsed, as followers of this one-sided flame war know. But on Tuesday, the former President opened up a new and sordid line of attack, focusing on a photograph dating back to the Governor’s short-lived career as a teacher at a college preparatory academy, where he reportedly fraternized with students.

The former President re-truthed a poster commenting on a picture of DeSantis and former students.

“Ron DeSantis was having a ‘drink’ party with his students when he was a high school teacher. Having drinks with underage girls and cuddling with them certainly look pretty gross and ephebophiliaesque,” went the description.

Trump responded, “No way?”

Then, a second re-truth on a post with text on the image stating, “Here is Ron DeSanctimonious grooming high school girls with alcohol as a teacher.”

“That’s not Ron, is it? He would never do such a thing!” Trump responded sarcastically.

I'm sure we'll hear a LOT more about DeSatan as we get closer to 2024.
