DeSantis PROVES How Scared He Is Of A Trump Showdown

Florida Governor, Ron DeSantis, has yet to make any extreme counterattacks towards Donald Trump even though Trump has jumped on DeSantis for scandalous accusations, voting history and new nicknames. John Iadarola and Francesca Fiorentini break it down on The Damage Report.

"Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida prizes preparation and the way it allows him to control his political narrative. But suddenly, he was on the verge of going off message.

He had traveled to a Central Florida warehouse this past week to promote a $2 billion tax cut proposal when he was confronted with the inevitable: an especially ugly attack from former President Donald J. Trump that seemed to warrant a strong response.

Mr. Trump had insinuated on social media that Mr. DeSantis behaved inappropriately with high school girls while he was a teacher in his early 20s. As a reporter asked for his reaction, the Florida governor — standing amid kitchen stoves and boxes of baby diapers — inhaled sharply. He straightened the papers in front of him and raised his open palms to interrupt the question."

[FEARNoMore]

OMG "Meatball Ron" is GENIUS!!! hahaha but... that can easily backfire... Meatball Don.
🤷‍♂

[sharonmontag]

If DiSantes is a meatball because of his weight, does that make 45 a hoagie because of HIS weight?

[merriemelodiesfan]

The battle of two of the weakest far-right men in the GOP today.

[jerrys]

This will be the most entertaining, the most scary campaign ever. Not to mention contentious because of not only the immaturity of those running, but the complete lack of reason and sanity.

[dexterplant]

Any debate between desatanslittlehelper and mar-a-lardass will be nothing more than one hurling unhinged insults at the other while he stands there without a return.

[melindahall]

Yes, I’m getting ready for the showdown. It’s going to be crazy.

[gaillopes]

Maybe he can call him Ron the con! Oh wait that sounds too much like Don the con lol

[elizabethreed]

Like a deer in headlights. But when he and Trump are onstage, I believe DeFascist will cry.

[IAMHIM]

You gotta give Ron a nickname people can easily associate with him. Something like Deer in Headlights Ron or Ron DeSatan or Ron Coward. Meatball Ron is a good one tho.

[Stevieboy]

Trump doesn't know what sanctimonious means.

[nickelpickel]

I don't believe he has what it takes to get into a shouting match with ttump. The only one who can pull in the (Jerry Springer) voter is ttumpy.

[rickelmonoggin]

funny if DeSantis responded with 'Vaccine Don'

[muskyoxes]

It's not a fight without both people fighting. DeSantis has never fought trump and never will.

"Will you serve a full four year term as governor?"
"Absolutely. I will run for president, lose humiliatingly before the first primary, and continue as governor."

[yvonnesantiago]

If this debate happens, I will have the popcorn ready.

[toniussery]

DeSantis is scared of Trump! He's not gonna run!

[jamesparsons]

When politicians can think of nothing better than insulting nicknames for one another it shows how puerile their campaigns are... and possibly how infantile the voters they are aiming to win.

[stevendrumm]

At least DeSantis doesn't lust after his own daughter.

[alexthemorgan]

There's not enough popcorn in the universe to convey how ready I am.

[marthashepherd]

I got my popcorn ready Trump will be coming in the vicious mode👁️👀ready for the fight😅

[JeffRL]

The catfight between them will be EPIC. I can't wait.
