Speaker 1: Donald Trump is also now reacting not yet to Nikki Haley saying she's running.
But reacting to Ron DeSantis and Ron DeSantis doing better than Trump in some recent polls
and Trump throwing an absolute and complete tantrum on his platform.
Truth, Social truth, essential.
Donald Trump reacting to a report that he's obsessed with the Santas and spends time trying
to come up with nicknames for DeSantis, including allegedly, Meatball Ron.
I think that's because of the Santas, his physical appearance, although I'm not totally
sure.
Donald Trump posting some triggered messages to South Central, starting with, quote, All
of the fake news is reporting that I spend large amounts of my time coming up with a
good nickname for Ron to Sanctimonious, who is obviously going to give the presidential
thing a shot.
They are all 100% wrong.
I don't even think about it.
A very unimportant subject to me.
This is the evidence that Trump is obsessed with Ron DeSantis.
Trump saying, I never think about Ron DeSantis or his nicknames.
To me means he thinks about Ron DeSantis absolutely all the time.
And then weighing in about the polling, some of which really has Trump doing very poorly
compared to Ron DeSantis.
Trump saying, quote, Doing great in poll numbers, leading all Republicans by a lot.
Also leading Biden by a very wide margin, which means that our weaponized in Justice
Department, local DA's and attorney generals.
Oh, come on.
It's attorneys general.
Attorney generals, Trump writes, will step up their illegal and unprecedented attacks
in order to disparage me with false bull and statements in the hope that I will be damaged
enough to allow a rhino or Biden to, quote, slip through the cracks.
But be careful.
The American people get it and don't like what they are seeing.
Maga.
So this is a very interesting time for Trump.
He knows that the Santos's numbers are very good for a guy who hasn't announced anything.
But if he spends his time attacking a guy who isn't even running, it looks very weak.
Trump wants to be Alpha, and his followers believe him to be alpha to some degree.
As funny as that is.
But Trump must realize if he does spend a lot of time going after a guy who isn't even
actually running against Trump, it is kind of pathetic.
It is weakening, it is disgusting and kind of kind of lame in a way.
So he's going to have to figure out what to do.
Just as interestingly is that if DeSantis is going to run against Trump, DeSantis has
to figure out when and how to attack Donald Trump.
And I want to talk
about
that next.
