Since Trump has announced his run for the Republican Party presidential nominee for 2024, and DeSantis has been jetting off during disasters in the Sunshine State for his anticipated presidential campaign, the two have been less than friendly. A pro-Trump PAC has already started the attack ads \u2014 the latest calling DeSantis \u201cpudding fingers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now the Trump campaign is amping up its tactics and going after the Governor\u2019s track record. Florida is currently \u201camong the worst\u201d states to raise a family, work, and retire, per Trump\u2019s campaign fired off in their rebuttal to DeSantis claims about Florida thriving under his leadership. The campaign is arguing that Florida is ranking poorly on a majority of issues from polling data by Oxfam, Money Inc., U.S. News &amp; World Report, and the Florida Policy Institute (listed in the Sarasota Herald Tribune\u2019s reporting of the story). <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe real DeSantis record is one of misery and despair,\u201d said Steven Cheung through a Trump campaign email on Friday. \u201cHe has left a wake of destruction all across Florida and people are hurting because he has spent more time playing public relations games instead of actually doing the hard-work needed to improve the lives of the people he represents.\u201d Well no shit, what do you expect from a guy that talks about fighting the \u201cwoke\u201d every sentence.<\/p>\n<p>Other major issues facing the state include an affordability crisis, low wages for workers (especially teachers), low economic opportunity and lack of protections for the elderly who make up a huge portion of the population. \u201cUnder Ron DeSantis, Florida has become among the worst states\u2026 to live\u2026 find economic opportunity\u2026 work\u2026 retire\u2026 raise a family\u2026 pay taxes\u2026be safe\u2026 rent a home\u2026 have a baby\u2026 afford energy\u2026 die\u2026 be a teacher\u2026 be a doctor\u2026 be a police officer,\u201d Trump\u2019s campaign email stated.<\/p>\n<p>The rhetoric is polar opposite of Trump\u2019s view of DeSantis before they were competing against each other. Trump praised DeSantis as a \u201cgreat governor\u201d and \u201cgreat warrior\u201d back in February 2020. He even claimed that DeSantis begged for his help to win in 2018, obviously taking all the credit while insinuating he stopped the counting of votes in 2018 to give both DeSantis and Senator Rick Scott victories.<\/p>\n<p>The message Trump is pushing is fascinating. First, it completely goes against what DeSantis and the Florida GOP have boasted themselves on. It also mimics what Democrats have been saying in their criticisms of the DeSantis administration and policies. They too have stated the governor ignored the affordability problem, along with a number of others, while waging a culture war and feuding with the state\u2019s top employer, Disney.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s expected that DeSantis will officially announce his candidacy right after the Florida State Legislature wraps this session up. Of course it\u2019ll be after the state law requiring officials to resign from office before running for another law is reversed in his favor. His back up plan tells me he knows there\u2019s a chance he loses to Trump but still will be able to stay on his throne if that happens. Either way I\u2019m all for letting the girls fight it out publicly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #808000;\"><a style=\"color: #808000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.authorhouse.com\/en\/bookstore\/bookdetails\/232300-BOXING-INTERVIEWS-OF-A-LIFETIME\">Click Here to Order Boxing Interviews Of A Lifetime By &#8220;Bad&#8221; Brad Berkwitt<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Nikki Slusher It\u2019s been no secret that former President Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis aren\u2019t on the best of terms.
