DeSantis feuds with Trump over Florida rally amid search for survivors in Surfside

Former President Donald Trump is rejecting pleas from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to postpone a campaign-style rally this weekend some 200 miles from the Miami suburb where an international search-and-rescue mission is excavating bodies from the site of a collapsed seaside condominium.
quote:
DeSantis’s office has "made a direct plea” to the former president’s team, calling on it to postpone the Saturday event in Sarasota. One Florida Republican bluntly said Trump and his team need to “read the room.” “The governor is getting tested here as to how far he's going to be pushed before he breaks ranks with President Trump. And he has to be very careful because this is Trump country,” this source said. “The base loves the president. But they equally love Ron. It's a showdown going on right now.”

Trump should listen to him even if he plans to run. Florida is only getting redder by the day, so who gives a frick? Stop being petty because it doesn’t look good. Just put it off by one month.

For now, the Trump camp is holding firm. “Nobody wants to cancel,” a source close to Trump told the Washington Examiner.
That's it? "Nobody wants to cancel"?

Seriously, is anyone going to be that pissed if he instead does it at the end of July or beginning of August? Have people bought plane tickets for this?

This is one of those rakes Trump doesn't need to step on, use an inner monologue and hit a different state or part of FL

Buried in the article:
quote:
In a statement provided to the Washington Examiner late Wednesday afternoon, Pushaw said DeSantis had not called for the event to be canceled.
“Gov. DeSantis is focusing on his duties as governor and the tragedy in Surfside, and has never suggested or requested that events planned in different parts of Florida — from the Stanley Cup Finals to President Trump’s rally — should be canceled,” she said. “He wants all Floridians to enjoy the holiday weekend and celebrate Independence Day however they choose, while keeping the Surfside families and first responders in their prayers.”

What the frick difference does it make if Trump has a rally 200 miles away from a localized minor disaster?
I think DeSantis is a bit out of line here.
It's like saying something bad happened in Chicago so you can't have a celebration in Milwaukee. (86 miles)

Life doesn’t stop because bad things happen. If it did, we’d never get to enjoy anything. DeSantis needs to back off.

Sarasota is a different part of Florida.
DeSantis shouldn't be a part of this rally and Trump should probably rally somewhere else

Yep. What exactly would be a legitimate distance from said sight for no one to raise a stink?

Y’all need to learn to stop believing the media when it comes to our people. I guarantee you none of this is true. “Sources”
It’s very specific. Make up shite so we argue about them and take sides. Seriously. We have to stop and ignore them.

Trump needs to postpone. If Ron has asked him to do it then he should do it for someone who has been incredibly loyal to him. Also it would be a good look for Trump for basically nothing.

This.
RINO’s exist in Florida as well, and they will shite all over Trump and DeSantis at any and every opportunity.

It's been a week. How long should he wait? It's clear across the other side of the state on the Gulf, not the Atlantic....
ATL had a free outdoor concert a week or so after 9-11. It was a nice distraction. That was far bigger than a collapsed side of a condo.

BS report
Sarasota is just south of Tampa. Has nothing to do with the Miami situation ....DeSantis can excuse himself and everyone will understand.

It’s entirely probable that this story is manufactured and/or grossly embellished and DeSantis is not saying anything of the kind to Trump.
