Starting a couple of days ago it was rumored that Trump sent out the word that he didn’t want any of his supporters to do anything that might make DeSantis look good–including sharing public announcements about the storm. I didn’t bother to write about it because it may have been propaganda to make Trump look bad, although subsequent searches of Trump’s followers showed that even Trump’s Florida-based influencers were remarkably silent about the storm as it crashed into the state. It sure looks like Trump sent out the word to stay quiet. But perhaps they decided to do this on their own.
But there is no question about Trump’s actions themselves. The guy sent out tens of “Truths” attacking DeSantis throughout the storm, producing a hurricane of invective aimed at the governor as he spent 20-hour days working to mitigate the damage. Trump dumped over 30 videos of himself on Truth Social since the hurricane hit. About himself and his campaign. He even spent a good amount of time specifically attacking DeSantis–including about the hurricane itself–while DeSantis was dealing with the storm and its aftermath.
DeSantis needs to be the GOP nominee, not Trump. I'm almost as tired of Trump's antics as I'm tired of the Marxist Democrats' efforts to destroy him and the country.
This is not cool at all. I knew nothing about a campaign to be quiet about the storm though. But then again, when there is a storm, I follow Mike's Weather Page on FB because the news and the weather channel over sensationalizes these storms. I also do not belong to Truth Social.
I like Ron DeSantis as our governor and I hate that this is happening with the attacking each other.
Politics is ugly business and I can't wait until 2024 is over.
Just watched an interview on TWC with Jim Cantore and DeSantis and they brought up homeowners insurance among other things related to the storm and storms that had been through in the past. DeSantis had a lot to say, was on message, and Cantore kept interrupting him before he could finish and said something about “build back better” in relation to storm rebuilding. I found DeSantis to be good and Cantore to be sort of rude and I generally enjoy Cantore’s coverage. All that to say, DeSantis was focused and not deterred by whatever Trump or other detractors might have been saying.

They're not attacking each other. Trump is attacking DeSantis, and has been since before DeSantis was re-elected.
Trump should be attacking Biden and the Democrats. They're the ones trying to lock him up and throw away the key, not to mention destroying the country. Not Ron DeSantis.

RonnieD won’t answer a question or directly comment on Fla problems. He’s a master deflector. Proved that at the debates and will never address the real issues.

Trump knows his followers will literally do whatever he wants. I have never seen anything like this blind, worshipful obedience, outside of some cults.
If he says don't say anything good about DeSantis, then they won't dare.

Not a DeSantis fan in any way, shape or form but this is despicable. People's lives were on the line and all Trump can think of is himself. I thought DeSantis carried himself well in the aftermath of the storm, as I would expect any governor to.

Well, that's good. Maybe he has a backbone. Which of course means he will soon be deemed a RINO.

I am happy I voted for Trump in 2016, but I agree. I also thought DeSantis handled this beautifully.
