Former Trump Lawyer Says His Team Is TERRIFIED Of Ron DeSantis

Former Donald Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis told Newsweek that his advisers are absolutely terrified of Florida governor, which is why his campaign is spending all of their attention attacking the guy that hasn't even announced that he's running for President yet. The attacks are definitely working, however, and the Trump team wouldn't be in the position they are in now if they didn't fear DeSantis. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains how that works.

Former Trump lawyer, Jenna Ellis came out this week and claimed that Donald Trump's senior advisors, the people kind of running the show with his third presidential campaign. She says that they are absolutely terrified of Ron DeSantis and Jenna Ellis, of course, if you've been paying attention to what's been happening with her recently, uh, Trump supporters, the MAGA freaks have been coming out and attacking her, accusing her of going to DeSantis instead of Donald Trump. So she knows what it's like to be attacked for just being close to DeSantis, which I don't even know if she actually is. But here is what Ellis said. The fact that Governor DeSantis, who is not a presidential candidate has been the central focus of every smearing attack add by the former president and his team is evidence that they fear him. A team that claims to be winning by a lot, but has to lie and smear.

The most popular Republican governor in the country is not a confident team. That's what she told Newsweek. Then she got on Twitter and said this, I respect President Trump, but I'm tired of his campaign Hypocritically accusing Ron DeSantis of doing things they do. Um, yeah, I mean the whole cutting social security and Medicare thing. Yeah. That, that's true. Uh, and to be honest, I agree with everything Jenna Ellis is saying here. Now, I also know that the attacks from Trump's camp on Ron DeSantis have been hugely effective. I mean, effective to the point where they may have ruined Ron DeSantis chances of ever being president, and I love that, but they are afraid of him, and I don't think that's a big secret. You know, I I, I don't feel like Jenna Ellis came out and told us something that none of us didn't already know.

Like we know they're afraid. We know. That's why they are hyper fixated on Ron DeSantis. They fear him tremendously, but not just because of his poll numbers, but because of his record. You see, Donald Trump during his four years in office, talked to big game about a lot of things. He was gonna build a wall. He was gonna bring back American manufacturing. He was gonna make other countries pay up for nato. He was gonna bring us peace in the Middle East. He didn't do any of those things. Oh, sure. He built portions of the wall, and if you've been paying attention to that, you know that most of them are already rusted and crumbling to dust. But all of those other things he didn't do at all. Ron DeSantis on the other hand, even though all the things he's done have been horrible, still has a list of things that he has accomplished. Right? He's, he's banned books at an astronomical rate here in the state of Florida. They just passed legislation this week, uh, making it illegal for transgender individuals to use the bathroom that they identify as they expanded their, don't say gay

Legislation. So they got two accomplishments on that piece of crap. They've banned critical race theory in math. Yes. That that is the thing they targeted. And they've done all sorts of other horrific things in Florida. But the point is, DeSantis succeeded where Trump failed. That's what scares them so much. That's why Trump's team is so afraid, because if you put the two guys head to head, DeSantis can tick off a list of, again, horrible things that he has accomplished. Trump will attempt to do that.
