The former president posted a video attacking DeSantis as an ingrate who owes his career to Trump. He posted another of what appears to be a SpaceX rocket falling over and exploding with “Ron! 2024” over it.

And he shared a weird video mocking DeSantis’ entry via a glitchy Twitter event hosted by Elon Musk.

In Trump’s version, the participants include not just Musk and DeSantis but also Adolf Hitler, the devil, a coughing Dick Cheney, billionaire George Soros, World Economic Forum founder Klaus Schwab and an FBI agent openly plotting to “take out” Trump.

The video concludes with a fake ― perhaps AI ― Trump voice unleashing insults.

“The devil, I’m gonna kick your *** very soon. Hitler, you’re already dead. Dick Cheney, sounds like you’ll be joining Hitler very soon,” the Trump voice says. “Ron DeSanctimonious can kiss my big, beautiful 2024 presidential ***.”

DeSantis at one point appeared to be a legitimate threat to Trump’s third run for the presidency, with polls showing him catching up the former president.

One poll in January even had DeSantis with a lead over Trump.

His star has since faded, with more recent polls showing the Florida governor behind by double digits ― including a recent Quinnipiac poll that has the Florida governor down by nearly 30 percentage points.

“His whole campaign will be a disaster,” Trump predicted Wednesday on Truth Social. “WATCH!”

Trump might literally **** on him, and that works in the current Republican party, don't see him having a chance in this primary.
Agreed. It seems like whoever can be the most deplorable will win the party nomination. No one can be more deplorable than trump. Desantis has no chance

I dunno. MAGA seems pretty concerned with the details of policy rather than how Trump makes them feel. I bet you could get most Trump cultists at one of his rallies to provide insightful and detailed analysis of top marginal tax rates. And health care delivery systems… /s

Agreed. Unless Trump’s heart gives out, he’s the nominee. He could literally be sentenced to prison today and his popularity among republicans (not the general population) would skyrocket. Personally, I can’t wait for 2024! Although Biden isn’t an amazing candidate, he’s going to blow out the Republican candidate. There’s going to be another blue wave. Hopefully this knocks some sense into the GOP and they drop the kooks, racists, and idiots who they’re pandering to right now. You just can’t win elections by being dicks. You need to actually have some substance and attempt to appeal to normal people, not just your Fox News addicted cult.

Sadly, the GOP needs another cycle or two of losses before they finally reject Trumpism and the ****** people that kind of politics attracts.

Biden is going to blow out the Republican candidate? Describe a blowout. How many electoral votes will Biden get? Minimally.

By at least as much as last time. Remember, the last time Biden kicked Trump’s ***, it was before:

1. Jan 6.
2. Roe v Wade was overturned.
3. Before all of this CRT and book banning nonsense.
4. Before Trump’s cheering on Russia against Ukraine.
5. Before multiple convictions in civil cases and (probable) felony cases.

Pledging allegiance with Jan 6 insurrectionists, bashing Ukraine, bragging about overturning Roe, and being convicted of sexual assault might endear himself to his base but it turns all the rest of us normal people off.

I think it will be closer than last time. So much so that I have no idea who might win.

Which already is a horrible indictment on our society. The guy led an insurrection, pledges with those criminals, and has proven countless times to be a horrible person and leader. If elected, NATO and Ukraine could be in big time trouble and our democracy will be dead. And we will have done it to ourselves.
 
192 people have been incarcerated according to a google search I just did, and that info was from Jan 2023. Many more cases to go....

The leader of the "Oath Keepers" just got sentenced to 18 years. He got the act of terror bonus package on that one.

Like 950 people have been identified as committing a crime on Jan 6th. Some have been charged and some have gone on the run.

I think they're giving the "tourists" who really did nothing other than look around a pass. I think they're probably being picky about who they bring charges against, which I think is fine.
