Florida “has the advantage of SUNSHINE, where people from badly run States up North would go no matter who the Governor was, just like I did!,” Trump wrote, referencing his own move to the Mar-a-Lago country club he owns in Palm Beach after the conclusion of his presidency.
Referring to DeSantis throughout the statement as “DeSanctimonious,” a nickname Trump unveiled last week at a Pennsylvania rally for the Senate candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz, who went down to defeat, the former president’s anti-DeSantis screed was posted on Truth Social, his social media site.
In recent months, Trump has watched DeSantis become a darling of establishment conservatives, who relished in his ability to launch Trump-style culture wars without Trump-style drama. The savvy DeSantis had largely stayed out of Trump’s way, tamping down speculation about his own prospects, but an eventual confrontation between mentor and understudy had been widely seen as inevitable.
