Trump Mocks DeSantis By Hosting Florida Republican Endorsement Party

Donald Trump decided to do everything possible to get under Ron DeSantis' skin this week, and he likely achieved it on Thursday evening. The twice impeached and criminally indicted former President mocked DeSantis' lack of endorsements from his own legislators that evening by hosting an "Endorsement Party" for all of the Florida Republicans who had endorsed him so far. This feud won't end any time soon, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

Well, folks, Donald Trump threw a party last night at Mar-a-Lago, and it was a shindig that you could only go to if you were a Florida Republican legislator that had already endorsed Donald Trump, or wanted to go down to Mar-a-Lago to endorse Donald Trump's 2024 presidential bid. In announcing the event, Donald Trump said, quote, A great group of supportive Florida congressmen and congresswomen, all who have endorsed me will be coming to Mar-a-Lago tonight. Our support is almost universal in Florida and throughout the usa. They remember fondly all of the incredible things I did while in office. One of the most successful administrations in history will be a great night.

So why is this funny? Like, why do I even care that he held this party? Because this wasn't an actual celebration of all the Florida legislators who had endorsed Donald Trump. This was a spite party. Donald Trump only did this to as raw story, put it, twist the knife a little deeper into Ron DeSantis side. This whole event was done simply to mock Ron DeSantis, who, as we all know, went to DC this week to pick up some endorsements. And instead on the same day three Florida State, uh, or Florida federal legislators endorsed Donald Trump. Instead, like some of them literally walked out of the meeting with Ron DeSantis and said, uh, I am endorsing Donald Trump now, like right now, I heard DeSantis speak. I'm a Trump guy. So things are really, really bad for Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump being the spiteful that he is.

Not that I disagree with him doing this, honestly, this is hilarious. Trump decides he's had a bad week. I'm gonna go ahead and make it worse. I am going to hold an event at my lush property in his state, and I'm going to invite all of his friends down who love me more than him, and I'm not going to invite him, and we're going to have a party about how much you all love me. That's what happened on Thursday night at Mar-a-Lago. Again, it's stupid. It's super petty. It is very spiteful, and it's one of the funniest things I've ever seen Donald Trump do. He clearly hates Ron DeSantis, like with a passion. So this begs the question, what happens when Donald Trump secures that nomination? Right? Eventually, Ron DeSantis, as a very

Prominent nationally known Republican governor, he's going to have to come out and endorse somebody. So is Rhon DeSantis like, when all this is over, all the humiliation ends, is he gonna have to kickstart it again by coming out and sheepishly saying, well, I, I, I endorsed Donald Trump. I guess I got no other choice. It's going to be truly pathetic. It's going to be hilarious too. And Ron DeSantis, man, he's just kind of burdened bridges right now. Not only with how bad he is once he steps outside of the state of Florida, but also with that MAGA crowd, because they now hate him. So even if Trump gets the nomination and DeSantis says, okay, we'll all run four years from now, the damage is done. They, the damage is done. So I think Ron DeSantis and his presidential ambitions now and in the future because of what Trump has done to him and of course what he's done to himself, I think the guy's toast.
