Donald Trump on Friday continued his attacks on Florida governor Ron DeSantis (R), mocking his potential challenger for the 2024 Republican primary for being “outplayed, outsmarted, and embarrassed by Mickey Mouse and Disney.”
Writing on his social media site Truth Social, Trump cheered “Ron DeSanctimonious” being defeated by Disney in the ongoing feud between the company and the governor of Florida, who has tried to take over Disney’s longstanding taxing district.
Trump then slammed DeSantis for ignoring the plight of his constituents while running a “shadow” campaign for U.S. President.
“[N]ow, while Fort Lauderdale is facing the worst flooding in 100 years, DeSanctus is on tour with his ‘shadow’ campaign for president, instead of taking care of the people of Florida,” Trump wrote. “A highly overrated Governor, just look at the Numbers!”
On his post, Trump also included a formal statement saying that DeSantis is “finally admitting he’s in the race by beginning to fight back,” and claiming that his polls have “crashed.”
“He is, for a Republican, an average Governor, he got 1.2 million less Votes in Florida than me, he fought for massive cuts in Social Security and Medicare, and wanted Social Security minimum age to be raised to 70-years-old, or more, Trump’s statement says.
