Why hasn't DeSantis defended himself if this was such an egregious attack?

Has he ever criticized the GOP leadership?

Because the smart thing to do would be to keep quiet and let Trump hang himself here.

Because it's the smart play with Trump.

Don't let him drag you into the mud and he'll implode spectacularly.

You don’t interrupt your opponent when they’re making a fool of themselves.

BDR is also disciplined enough to not acknowledge Trump’s temper tantrum while a hurricane is hitting his state.

Why engage an idiot? It brings you down to their level. Smart to let him tantrum on Truth Social and let his cult followers like and worship him.

Why respond when Trump is doing the work for him?

That douche from Texas would jerk off Trump in front of a crowd if asked and trump publicly called his wife fat and ugly.

Trump is a counter-puncher

You beat Trump by just ignoring him and letting him fight air and look like an emotional idiot

It's working

Because he wants to run for president and his main competitor in a primary is nuking his support right now with teenage girl meltdowns. Why would DeSantis interrupt?

Because:

"DeSantis is playing too-cute-by-half, in pretending not to be a participant in the professional republican operation. If Governor Ron DeSantis was not an active participant, he would not be playing coy with his 2024 GOP nomination intent. Trump isn’t going to play pretend. As long as DeSantis pretends, he will be targeted by President Trump because Trump isn’t going to allow the professional republican apparatus to destroy the populist movement."

Ron has a pretty good job. Trump is either on the course or in consultation with attorneys. Ron's in a good place.

BDR is the adult in the room. Trump McConnell Mccarthy et al do not have the best interest of the people as their driving force and are, as such, an impediment to the American first agenda

Ignore it or give it fuel to burn.

He's choosing to ignore it.

The thing about being an adult, is controlling your emotions. I try to teach my kids this.

As he’s gotten stronger over the years of pandemic, 2 impeachment’s and the other BS.

Waiting patiently for him to actually implode

DeSantis has turned a purple state deep red in a very difficult macro environment for conservatives.

He just needs to keep his mouth shut.

That only works if DeSantis is not running. And if DeSantis is not running Trump has already won.

You can't ignore your opponents on the campaign trail or debate stage.

DeSantis couldn’t have asked for a better 48 hours. No doubt he wants Trump to continue pushing out these statements.
