Trump campaign warns potential DeSantis staffers they won't be hired to work for former president

Source: NBC News

Former President Donald Trump's 2024 campaign has decided that anyone who works for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, including on a potential presidential bid, will be ineligible to join the Trump campaign or another Trump White House.

Trump aide Justin Caporale confirmed the decision to NBC News, and it's a warning shot to political operatives mulling their next moves. The development, first reported by RealClearPolitics, comes as Trump holds onto a substantial polling lead and the DeSantis operation begins to materialize.

Caporale worked for DeSantis' 2018 gubernatorial campaign and briefly in the governor's administration as director of external affairs. He's now, however, back in Trump world. Other members of Trump's inner orbit have also previously worked for DeSantis, including top aide Susie Wiles.

If this were happening in the Democratic party, the media would have long adopted the "Democrats in disarray" narrative.

The Republican party is divided and it will get worse.

Trump is out to end DeSantis' career.

I hope DeSantis and Pence start an independent party with the motto, "We are only 95% as dangerous as Trump".

5. Narrowing his choices? DeSantis basically works as a group of 3

From what I understand. Him, his wife, and one long time friend/aid. He’s run tons of people off his staff going back to his time in Congress.

Trump’s White House was vastly understaffed. People didn’t want to be associated with him or have his name on their history. I didn’t hear this until after Biden won. His team started planning as soon as he got the nomination to try to catch up on time and any number of regular activities that had to have been undone. Trump was a complete disaster.

Good run down here.

https://www.politico.com/news/2023/01/30/ron-desantis-inner-circle-00076646

James Uthmeier

CHIEF OF STAFF

Uthmeier is considered the most influential of DeSantis’ three chiefs of staff and led the governor’s office during much of the time when DeSantis became a post-pandemic political star. DeSantis’ first two chiefs of staff were longtime operative-types, while Uthmeier is seen as further right on the political spectrum and a better fit for DeSantis, who is championing a policy portfolio directed, in large part, to those on the Republican Party’s right flank.

Adam Laxalt

LONGTIME FRIEND, FORMER NEVADA ATTORNEY GENERAL

Laxalt is considered one of the closest friends of DeSantis, who has a reputation of not having many close friends or associates. The two were roommates at the Naval Justice School and have remained close friends, including continuing to talk on the phone regularly. DeSantis gave Laxalt’s failed U.S. Senate campaign a boost in April when he traveled to Nevada to rally for his campaign and raise money.

They get their marching orders and talking points from their mega rich bosses. There isn't any real journalism anymore.
