Conservatives Destroy Trump for Going After Ron DeSantis Days Before Election: ‘Absolutely Pathetic Move’

Former President Donald Trump’s decision to go after Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) in the final days before the election did not sit well with conservatives.

At a rally in Latrobe, PA on Saturday night, Trump boasted about a recent survey of Republican primary voters showing him well ahead in the 2024 GOP primary among potential candidates. While crowing about getting 71 percent in the poll, Trump fired a shot across the bow at the second place candidate “Ron DeSanctimonious.”

Reports of Trump’s disdain for DeSantis have been bubbling up behind-the-scenes for weeks, and have increasingly spilled out into the open. But Saturday was Trump’s most direct shot yet as he bestowed a nickname upon the Florida governor — the ultimate sign of one’s status as an enemy in Trump-world.

Yet given DeSantis’s immense popularity in Florida and among Republicans nationally, Trump’s attack did not go over well on the Right — particularly among those Republicans who believe the party should be showing a united front, with tens of millions of voters about to hit the polls. The condemnation of Trump on social media, especially among those normally in his corner, was striking. Here’s a small sampling:

1. Sits just fine with me! I've been saying all along that tfg will kill little ronnie's WH bid

It’s only going to get worse. Deathsatan lives rent free in his head

[bluesbassman]

2. At this point his shtick is only working on the cult zealots.

I believe the rank and file cult members would only vote for him because he’s not a Democrat. They’re still “MAGA”. They’re just tired of him personally and probably a little embarrassed too.

3. I encourage all FL GOPers to write-in Trump for Governor ! nt

4. Trump should sic his cultists on him

[Samrob]

5. I applaud Trump for this. It only helps us. nt

6. TDFG thinks the GOP Nomination is his?

With all the shit coming his way, he is in for a real world of hurt.

I say fight this war out in the open. Fracture the party as DeSantis and others are going to need the MAGAt base if they are going to win the nomination in 2024 as well as a chance down ballot. Those MAGAt IDIOTS are going to find themselves on a deserted island with nothing to call their own.

7. They just need to send someone to talk to Trump and explain why it's so wrong.

I’m sure once he understands the problem, he’ll apologize profusely and never do it again.

11. Most assuredly.

9. Nat-C's are Ouroboros

Nat-C's are losers and always are whiners, they'd eat their children and blame it on you.

Nat-C's are traitors and pedophile groomers, they'd rape your kids and your little dog too.

Marauding elephants spraying their poo...

Let's flush 'em like the turds they are.

10. Pass the popcorn. nt

12. Pathetic, Republicans?

Is this your first day on planet Earth? The former guy is your lord and savior, ask anyone in your party. Shrewd move to hitch the GOP wagon to a guy who lost his two elections by nearly 10 million votes.

13. I certainly hope this video makes it to Florida screens nt

17. These idiots are only now coming to the realization that trump is all about trump?

And that he'll view anybody who competes for conservative attention as someone to be attacked?

[lindysalsagal]

18. Whilst minorities are fare game. We finally found they can resent some abuse

24. I prefer Ron DeSadist, but Ron DeSanctimonious is OK with me, thanks Donnie!

[CrispyQ]

25. The dems gave McConnell two chances to rid the GOP of this piece of shit but he couldn't do it.

Cry me a river when the only candidate the GOP can put up is Trump or a Trump approved puppet.

26. Good luck with that nickname.

Way too long to be catchy.

Now he is looking for an army.
