Trump Kicks Off His 2024 Battle Against DeSantis With A Grooming Allegation

The 2024 GOP primary race has long been predicted to be a showdown between former president Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. On Tuesday, it seems Trump cast the first stone, giving us a taste of the mess to come.

That lying sack of Harvard Law DeSantis would be far worse; his effectiveness is much less compromised by being the worlds biggest asshole.

early poll on the 2024 race conducted by the Club for Growth Action, an influential conservative organization.

Trump leads the field in the nationwide poll with 37%, and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis comes in a close second, with 33%.

In a head-to-head matchup between just Trump and DeSantis in a hypothetical primary, DeSantis leads Trump by 9 points.

Still lots of time for each of them to showcase their racist asshole credentials, thus clinching the nomination.

I can’t think of many things better for humanity than these two pieces of shit telling the world what huge pieces of shit they are.

If Don and Ron set on each other with sabers, I can’t imagine how it’d be a net loss to the aggregate human worth.

Trump is attacking a guy who hasn’t even declared yet
This should prove interesting - Trump bitching about other candidates not bending the knee makes him sound entitled, scared, and weak, so I guess he’s resorting to the old playbook too

It’s a pretty pass we’ve come to, when our last president…a notorious pedophile in his own right…is allowed to stand behind his firewall and fling accusations of pedophilia and grooming at the Governor of one of our largest states.

Keep it classy, Republicans!!!

One of Dump’s few abilities is that he can identify who threatens him most. That’s why he went after Biden early and often. Dump and DeSatan couldn’t be more deserving of their bitter embrace. May they pile-drive each other into the ground.

Twice as weak because he hid behind a repost on TruthSocial, it wasn’t his own direct attack. We’d better get used to this because he can’t attack DeSantis on policy differences. The MAGAts eat up that shit DeSantis is pulling in Florida.

It’s impossible to predict how this primary will play out, because the Big Unknown is what effect criminal indictments will have when they eventually land on Trump. Which I’m still sure will happen. Will that boost his support with the MAGAt cult base or diminish it? Will the base look for a safer (and out of jail) bet for 2024, or stick with their Dear Leader?

I don’t spend my time trying to smear other Republicans

“Except teachers.”

“Disney.”

“Mask wearers. Doctors. Students. Pregnant women. Women who look like men. Men who look like women.”

“And Trump, of course.”

“Social Security recipients…”

Chump really only has that one dance move. Cemented into his nerves since about 1977. Talk about muscle memory.

I think Dennis Miller had a joke about how many guys do Rock-em-Sock-em-Robots as a dance move.

Basically the same thing he does when he ‘dances’ at his rallies.
