45th President Donald Trump on Monday said that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis will be sympathetic to his problems once he gets “unfairly and illegally attacked” by people from his past, which may come “sometime in the future.”
In a Truth Social post, the former president brought up reports that allege DeSantis attended drinking parties with his high school students and suggested that the governor may find himself in a defensive position over the allegations as he becomes more popular.
“Ron DeSanctimonious will probably find out about FALSE ACCUSATIONS & FAKE STORIES sometime in the future, as he gets older, wiser, and better known, when he’s unfairly and illegally attacked by a woman, even classmates that are “underage” (or possibly a man!). I’m sure he will want to fight these misfits just like I do!” the former president wrote.
President Trump’s post included an image that purportedly shows a young DeSantis allegedly “partying with underaged students,” along with a link to an article by the Hill Reporter that had published the image in October 2021.

“The photo shows a person purported to be DeSantis, in a group embrace with several young girls, one of whom is holding what appears to be a glass beer bottle,” the Hill Reporter wrote.
“The source who provided the photo says that it was taken prior to graduation — meaning the young girls would still have been DeSantis’ responsibility at the time. It is not clear whether any of them were legal adults, though they would have been too young to purchase alcohol.”
Last month, Trump re-posted a meme that claimed the photo showed DeSantis allegedly “grooming high school girls with alcohol as a teacher” in an apparent dig at the governor, who is expected to announce his run for president in 2024 against Trump.
“I spend my time delivering results for the people of Florida and fighting against Joe Biden,” DeSantis responded to President Trump’s post in February. “That’s how I spend my time. I don’t spend my time trying to smear other Republicans.”

President Trump’s latest Truth Social post comes after DeSantis signaled that his administration would do nothing to prevent Soros-allied Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg from arresting the president on Tuesday, and appeared to downplay the development as a “manufactured circus” that doesn’t really matter.
“I have no interest in getting involved in some type of manufactured circus by some Soros DA,” said DeSantis.
“He’s trying to do a political spectacle,” said DeSantis of the Manhattan District Attorney. He then confirmed, “I’ve got real issues I’ve got to deal with here in the state of Florida.” DeSantis reiterated, “We’re not getting involved in it in any way.”

Hey Ron what kind of double talk is this? This is a huge issue regarding a former “US President” who resides in your so called state of Florida, that is obviously being harassed and attacked by a crooked judicial political partisan stooge of Soros’ and that makes it an issue that the state’s governor, YOU, should dame well be involved in directly and head-on; if that governor is worth a damn! Sounds to me like you can “talk a talk but won’t walk the walk” which is in the least two-faced and maybe even chicken!
Do you “say what you mean and mean what you say” or not?
Also you said you won’t get involved nor know anything about what goes into Hush Money; which shows you as being like a leftist Democrat with that type of stripe; its not Hush Money but a simple legal NDA; None Disclosure Agreement!

What the hell are these politicians coming to with all of their BS; for cripes sake Biden has Classified US Government Documents lying all over the place for years and all you politicians can do is dance around BS issues like this bogus Crooked Soros D.A.’s anticipated charge; yet most to none of you are ranting like you should about this upside-down Judicial System that is OFF THE RAILS!!! This NYC Clown and then look at the AG of the US DOJ who sent a raid into Your State to rip apart former President Trump’s home over his rightfully declassified documents in his personal safe!
I really think I must be in the Twilight Zone World now and no fooling; it has to be, because it is completely NUTS!

DeSantis is playing it the way politicians should. Don’t name call or trash political opponents. If you verbally support him, the left will use it against you. If you don’t, as is, Trump and MAGNA will come after him. So just stay out of it.

Trump is absolutely correct, this will be the pattern for any Republican running for president. Soros is destroying this country.

All you idiots need to wake up. We have a constitution, laws, that aren’t being adhered to. We let riots go on destroying the fabric of our country. We allow media to get caught lying with treasonous banter. We allow so called fat checkers to be wrong. Everything is being downgraded. Shame on all you greedy bastards and bastardettes.

No, DeSantis won’t. He’s more likely to betray Trump, again. DeSantis is all about his RINO self. If DeSantis runs in 2024, I will vote democrat. There’s no difference between a RINO democrat who pretends to be a republican and a democrat who isn’t. They both lie to us, about everything. However, the RINO is worse because he takes donations from conservative Republicans who haven’t seen DeSantis’ writing on the wall and pretends to be a republican. How do you think he accomplished what he did for Florida? He had the support of the State’s RINOS! He tweeted he supports the Club of Growth and accepted a big donation from George Soros. I’ll take a democrat who is a democrat over a republican who isn’t a republican.
