Trump Tries To Deliver Death Blow To Ron DeSantis' Campaign

Things are going from bad to worse for Ron DeSantis, as his campaign was hit with an FEC complaint this week. But an even bigger problem that he's facing is that his former allies are now calling for members of his staff to be fired for being so bad, and nasty, at their jobs. To make things even worse, Donald Trump got on Truth Social and tried to deliver the final death blow to the DeSantis campaign, and Trump's harsh words could be enough to finish him off. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

Donald Trump this week tried to drive that final nail into the coffin of Ron DeSantis failing presidential campaign. But before I get to what Trump said on truth social, taking down Ron DeSantis, I also wanna point out the fact that, uh, things are going very badly for Ron DeSantis. Uh, not only of course did the head of the super PAC that is supporting his presidential campaign resign recently, there's been a lot of friction between the Super PAC and the DeSantis campaign. And because of that, they were actually hit with an FEC complaint this week alleging improper and illegal coordination between the Super PAC and the campaign, which even though we've only got a few campaign finance rules left in this country, that's still one of 'em. You cannot coordinate with the Super Pac and Ron DeSantis campaign is being accused of doing exactly that. And after that news was revealed this week, Donald Trump decided to twist the knife a little deeper when he got on truth social and attacked Ron DeSantis saying this, the Ron de Sanctimonious team of Misfits and Grifters has largely quit his campaign to go on to greener pastures.

It has been a terrible experience for them is they have watched their candidate fall violently from the sky like a wounded bird. Jeff Rowe, his chief strategist and head of his pack, always back down after having done major surgery on Ron's wallet, couldn't get out of town fast enough. Now, Jeff can spend full time in Texas working with Ted Cruz, formerly known as Lion Ted, who's working hard to get back the magic they had together in 2016. Um, so I don't know why he is going after Ted Cruz right now, other than the fact Ted Cruz has not endorsed him, even though Trump's trying to strong arm and into endorsing him. Uh, but you know, he's also putting out daily, uh, what they're calling Kiss of death emails, to supporters attacking Ron DeSantis campaign. And, uh, DeSantis is just taking it like he is just sitting there taking the abuse.

He's trying to come out with these zingers against Trump and it's not working. Everything DeSantis touches, including the state of Florida, uh, just turns to total crap like 100% total unadulterated crap. That's what you get with Ron DeSantis and Trump is trying to capitalize on it. He is effectively not just killing this man's current presidential campaign. He is killing any chance Ron DeSantis has of ever successfully running for office again, because this isn't just a bad campaign, this isn't just a losing campaign. It is an utter, humiliating campaign for DeSantis proving that he is not ready for the national stage and likely never will be. Because most of DeSantis failings are not because of his, you know, lack of policy. Republicans like that. They don't like policy. It confuses him, scares him.

It's coming from the fact that he's not a likable person. He's weird. He does that thing with his tongue that people don't like. He can't laugh like a human being. So yeah, I would say Ron DeSantis has done, and Donald Trump is having a hell of a fun time dancing on his grave, but it's not just Trump. By the way, multiple Trump allies, including Tucker Carlson have come out this week to openly attack Ron DeSantis very terrible campaign staff.
