Former President Donald Trump took to Truth Social late Wednesday to share with his followers a video that had an implicit message to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis: Don’t you dare try running against me in 2024.
The video shared by Trump came from commentator Dave Rubin’s podcast, on which he had former Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly as a guest.
During their conversation, Kelly made clear that she doesn’t believe Trump supporters will vote for anyone but him in a presidential primary unless he explicitly endorses them.
Trump commented on the video, saying, “I AGREE!”
“Well, I just don’t think anybody else could win if Trump runs,” Kelly told Rubin on the podcast.
“So you think if they got on a stage, you don’t think that DeSantas is crafty enough or stands enough?” Rubin asked.
“No, I don’t even think that a little, I think Trump sucks up all the energy in every room no matter what. And even someone as skilled as a politician and smart policy-wise as DeSantis can’t overcome that. He can’t, You really think the hardcore MAGA is gonna abandon Trump for DeSantis? They’re not,” Kelly replied.
“They like DeSantis, but they don’t think it’s his turn,” she continued. “They think Trump was screwed out of his last election, that he was screwed out of his first term by all the craziness and the Russia gate and so on. And they think he is entitled, he deserves another shot at it. Like the hardcore Trump faithful is unshakeable.”
She added that many Trump supporters believe DeSantis owes his career to the former president.
“They like DeSantis, but they would never cross Trump for him. And they think that DeSantis owes his political career to Trump. Like if forced to choose, they will choose Trump. So DeSantis can’t take him down. It’s like the line in War Games, ‘The only winning move is not to play.’ DeSantis has got to either be crowned by Trump or he shouldn’t run. You won’t win over Trump. I’ll stand by that. You can play it against me if I’m wrong, but I won’t be,” she said.

Desantis would vie to be someone in the cabinet
In other words, because of Trump we are going to be stuck with another 4 years of Democrat rule.
For Trump it is all about Trump.
I agree, but De santis was not roasted one bit here….#clickbait
The 2024 primary season is going to be wild….
Hopefully the 2nd Trump term wont be a repeat of 1933/1939. For some reason it just sends out those vibes, idk why.
“Rightwriter”, that is disgusting. How can you write something like that? It has absolutely no basis, it’s pure hateful propaganda, dripping with exactly the kind of venom that you pretend to condemn. All you Democrats are the same; you are servants of Satan, consumed by your hatred for everything that is good and right.
It’s been a long time already since it became clear that this time around Trump has only one goal: to vindicate himself and get back at his enemies. Not what we need right now. I’m afraid one post said it right. We’re about to be stuck with another four years of a demonrat president if Trump is the GOP nominee.
You Democrats are all the same.
We can’t vote for Trump because of all the violence and fighting.
Who causes all the violence and fighting?
It’s the malcontents, aka Democrats.
The Democrats don’t think it’s fair for Republicans to stand up for themselves.
