It's not taken long for Trump to launch a smear campaign against DeSantis. This kind of thing that I absolutely hate about Donald Trump. The lies that he perpetrated about Ted Cruz in 2016 nearly put Beto O'Rourke into the U.S. Senate. His core supporters still demonize Cruz and refer to him as "Lyin' Ted," despite Trump and Rubio having been the candidates who were lying about Cruz and his family. Regardless of which Republicans run in 2024, Trump will be at or near the bottom of my list of preferences. He wants to win badly enough to say anything to get elected, IMO.

'He would never do such a thing!' Trump posts photos of Ron DeSantis as a teacher, allegedly partying with high school girls, as he ramps up attacks on Republican rival
