Watch: DeSantis Responds to Another Ludicrous Trump Smear

This is just ridiculous, folks. Yesterday on his “Truth Social” platform, the former President of the United States proved one more time that he has the emotional maturity of an average 3rd-grader by repeating another false smear of Ron DeSantis that was used by the sleazy Nikki Fried during last year’s gubernatorial election in Florida:

Here’s how Byron York characterized Mr. Trump’s latest deep dive into the muck as he obviously becomes ever-more panicked about the prospect of being challenged by the Florida Governor for the 2024 GOP nomination:

Going lower and lower: Former President Trump attacked Gov. Ron DeSantis on Truth Social this afternoon, re-sending an accusation that claimed to show DeSantis 'groomed high school girls with alcohol as a teacher.' Trump seems sure to further alienate many Republicans.

“Going lower and lower,” indeed. York’s conclusion that “Trump seems sure to further alienate many Republicans” is the no-brainer of the year, at least so far. We can be sure Trump and his utter lack of self-discipline will top this one in the weeks to come, of course.

For his own part, DeSantis refused to take Trump’s bait, responding calmly when it was raised in a press conference Wednesday morning:

Florida’s Voice @FLVoiceNews

BREAKING: DeSantis responds to Trump ReTruth accusing him of being a "groomer" "I'd just say this. I spend my time delivering results for the people of Florida and fighting against Joe Biden [...] I don't spend my time trying to smear other Republicans." https://t.co/LQk1dccC7o

The scariest part about Trump’s ongoing candidacy this time is not that he might actually win the GOP nomination: It’s that he won’t win it and decide to run a Ross Perot-style 3rd party candidacy and blow everything up out of pure spite.

It seems inevitable, doesn’t it?

If you can still support this kind of idiocy, good for you. Not this guy.

That is all.
