re: Trump claims Ron DeSantis cried in front of him while asking for his endorsement in 2018.

Always.

Are you only able to read some stuff but not others? Because you have the basics of my post down, I guess, but appear unmindful of the most relevant parts to what you just said.

“Discussion” is mentioned not in my post. Discussion is always fine. I did mention “criticism” which is also fine. But key in on the “demeaning” part. That part is what you failed to ascertain.

But are you fricking with me there tho?

Isn't that what "always" means?

What do you think my response implies?

Nope.

Pardon the wrestling comparison, but this reeks of a Bret Hart late 1996 to 1997 where he complained about Shawn Michaels being a "funny" champion because he posed for Playgirl magazine but never had a match at Wrestle Mania in 1997. It's so oft-putting to where Bret turned heel shortly after.

Trump's kind of doing the same thing with DeSantis. I get trying to separate yourself from the pack and maybe getting a jump on potential opponents, but this makes him very petty and may (keyword is may) cause some of his base to go toward DeSantis.

This is just one of a few unforced errors at the moment. His advantage though is no one is really paying attention to presidential campaigns this early.

All of you limpwristers on this thread need to make sure you don't vote for Trump when he's the nominee.

Even though I may not necessarily agree, well said anyway. Despite some of my posts herein that may take a different approach, my primary opinion on this particular instance is that it’s been framed a certain way by the media outlet that is intended to steer the resulting conversations about it down a certain road that leads to serious division and discord amongst the right - just as we see is happening. In other words, Business Insider is taking it out of context and tone, and “subtly” framing it in their own context and tone.

The fact that Trump really said that (whether true or not) is just fricking weird.
