Trump raises questions about DeSantis’ sexuality and ‘underage’ classmates

Donald Trump’s first public reaction to Ron DeSantis’ comments about a potential indictment was to post a repeated baseless claim that the Florida governor had inappropriate relationships with “underage” classmates.

The two-sentence quick post included several suggestions, including that the governor is inexperienced due to his age, as well as questions about his sexuality and whether he has had inappropriate interactions with men.

Trump, 76, warned DeSantis, 44, that he would soon have to endure even more “false allegations and bogus stories” with his rising national prominence as a leader within the Republican Party.

The post on Truth Social came after DeSantis broke his silence about a possible imminent indictment by attacking “Soros-funded” Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg during his Monday press conference.

Trump also used his new favorite gubernatorial nickname — Ron “DeSanctimonious” — as he quickly became the biggest threat to the former president’s chances of earning the nomination.

DeSantis denounced Bragg for creating a “manufactured circus” in his first remarks since rumors flared that Trump will face charges as early as Tuesday and shortly afterwards called on his supporters to “protest” any arrest.

“Ron DeSanctimonious will likely find out about FALSE ALLEGATIONS & FALSE STORY sometime in the future, as he gets older, wiser and better known, when he is unfairly and illegally assaulted by a woman, even classmates who are ‘underage’ (or possibly a man !),” Trump wrote.

“I’m sure he wants to fight these misfits just like me!” added the former president in the post to his Truth Social platform.

Trump’s inner circle criticized DeSantis — and other heralded and alleged 2024 hopefuls — for remaining silent on claims the former president will be arrested Tuesday in the Stormy Daniels hush money case.

It illustrates how the latest legal twist poses a dilemma for Trump’s likely rivals for the 2024 Republican nomination: Will they speak out against the former president for his indiscretions, or stay away for fear of alienating his boisterous, restless base? ?

DeSantis succeeded in both on Monday, saying he didn’t know “what’s involved in paying hush money to a porn star to keep quiet about some alleged affair,” before accusing Bragg of trying to explain New York’s rising crime rate. ignored and went after him instead. Trump.

“So I’ve seen rumors swirling around, I haven’t seen any facts yet,” he said. The Manhattan District Attorney is a Soros-funded prosecutor.

He, like other Soros-funded prosecutors, are arming their office to impose a political agenda on society at the expense of the rule of law and public safety.

“He has downgraded more than 50 percent of crimes to misdemeanors. He says he doesn’t even want jail time for the vast majority of crimes.

“What I can say is if you have a prosecutor who ignores crimes that happen every day in his jurisdiction, and he chooses to go back many, many years ago, to try and use something about porn star hush money payments .

“You know, that’s an example of pursuing a political agenda and arming the office.”

It is believed Bragg’s office is nearing the end of its investigation into payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels to keep her quiet about an affair with Trump — allegations he has long denied.

His office is not funded by Soros, although his campaign to become a prosecutor received $1 million from the Color Of Change Political Action Committee, a racial justice group backed by the Hungarian-born billionaire financier.

Soros is a favorite target of conservatives. Since the January 6 assassination attempt on Congress, he has used his extensive wealth to support candidates he says promote democracy and the rule of law.

But extremists in the far reaches of the internet have used his family history to suggest that he is part of a Jewish conspiracy that secretly wields the levers of power.

In his comments at a press conference, DeSantis also made it clear that he would not get involved in the Trump case.

“I have real issues that I’m dealing with here in the state of Florida,” he said.

“We have so many things pending before the legislature. I need to spend my time on things that really matter to people.

“I can’t waste my time on things like that.”

The Trump-affiliated Make America Great Again PAC accused DeSantis of dismissing the issue.

“Democrats misusing the justice system to target Republicans is a real problem that affects all Americans,” read an email blast.

And Donald Trump Jr accused Florida’s governor of being weak.

So DeSantis thinks Dems using the law as a weapon to indict President Trump is a “manufactured circus” and not a “real problem.” Pure weakness,” he tweeted.

“Now we know why he was silent all weekend. It is wholly owned by Karl Rove, Paul Ryan and his billionaire donors. 100 percent controlled opposition.’

Meanwhile, the New York Police Department prepares for the worst.

New York City police built barriers around the Manhattan courthouse Monday morning for fear of violent demonstrations.

This also includes the parquet.

In an email to staff on Saturday, first reported by Politico, Bragg sought to assure prosecutors and other members of his office that he was cooperating with police and court officials to ensure their safety.

“We will not tolerate attempts to intimidate our office or threaten the rule of law in New York,” he wrote. “Our law enforcement partners will ensure that any specific or credible threats against the office are fully investigated.”
