Former President Donald Trump criticized Florida Governor Ron DeSantis during a campaign rally in South Dakota on Friday, saying he “sided with the Communists in China.”
Trump also blasted the governor for wanting to cut Social Security and Medicare.
“You know a guy who was very disloyal ’cause I got him elected, so I call him Ron DeSanctimonious,” Trump said. “He strongly opposed my protection for our farmers. I protected our farmers very simply, and by the way those farmers got big checks. Any farmers in here got big checks? Yes? Yes. Oh, he’s happy. But that goes to the people, that goes to the workers, it goes to everybody.”
Trump said that he has been told not to worry about DeSantis, but that he will keep campaigning until it’s over.
“So now I’m sure he’s changed, I don’t know, I don’t watch him, he’s gotten so low in the polls I’m not really watching him,” Trump said. “They say, ‘Sir, forget about him, he’s gone.’ I say, ‘No, nobody’s gone, nobody’s gone until it’s over,’ right? It ain’t over ’til it’s over. Yogi, the great Yogi Bear, a great philosopher. But DeSanctimonious voted to cut Social Security. Think of it. Social Security, three times, voted. Hands up, voted. He is a disciple of Paul Ryan.”
From The Gateway Pundit:
Trump famously gave $28 billion from Chinese tariffs to American farmers. The Republican frontrunner for the 2024 nomination continued, “Very simply, DeSanctus sided with the communists in China and he fought very hard that this not take place. He also opposed Medicare and he opposed a thing called Social Security.”
