Good evening, patriots. It’s time to talk about the latest drama out of Florida between former President Donald Trump and Governor Ron DeSantis. As many of you know, DeSantis has been a favorite of Trump’s, with the former president even considering him as a possible running mate in 2024. However, that relationship might be souring, as Trump has recently bashed DeSantis and the state of Florida on social media.

In a tweet last week, Trump said that Florida “continues to tumble into complete and total delinquency and destruction” under DeSantis’ leadership. The tweet followed reports of rising COVID-19 cases in the state, which has been a hotbed of controversy throughout the pandemic. Some have pointed to DeSantis’ hands-off approach to COVID-19 restrictions as contributing to the current surge in cases.

This move by Trump has surprised many Republicans, who had previously seen DeSantis as a rising star in the party. Some have speculated that Trump is feeling threatened by DeSantis’ growing popularity, and is attempting to undermine him before he can become a potential rival in the 2024 election. Others believe that Trump is simply upset with DeSantis over a personal issue, and is using his public platform to lash out.

Regardless of the reasons behind Trump’s tweet, it is clear that Republicans across the country are paying attention. With the 2022 midterms approaching and the 2024 presidential election looming, the party is in a state of flux as it tries to redefine itself in the post-Trump era. Trump’s criticism of DeSantis underscores the challenges facing the GOP, as it tries to balance the demands of its base with the need to appeal to a wider range of voters.

What cannot be denied, however, is the many accomplishments of the Trump White House administration. From the historic tax cuts to the creation of Space Force to the unprecedented Middle East peace deals, the Trump administration achieved a great deal during its time in office. And while Trump may have his criticisms of DeSantis and other Republicans, there is no doubt that his legacy will continue to shape the party for years to come.
