Hours before Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was set to officially announce his candidacy for president, his top rival for the Republican nomination unleashed a fury of criticism via social media, targeting everything from the governor’s electability to his personality and character.

“Ron DeSanctus can’t win the General Election (or get the nomination) because he voted to obliterate Social Security, even wanting to raise the minimum age to 70 (or more!), voted to badly wound Medicare, and fought hard and voted for a 23% ‘tax on everything’ sales tax,” former President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social on May 24.
