Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis did not waste any time making it clear that there was no love lost between the two of them as they prepared to square off for the GOP nomination.
Trump was not about to sit by quietly.
And Donald Trump took the gloves off after what Ron DeSantis told Trey Gowdy.
In an interview with Trey Gowdy, DeSantis listed a series of priorities that he planned to enact if he became president.
At the top of the list, it is the same as Donald Trump which is securing the southern border.
“The border, there’s a lot you can do, ripping out [President Joe] Biden’s anti-American energy policies,” DeSantis began. “You probably could do most of the executive, you’ll probably need to do some of that legislative as well.”
Donald Trump promised that if he is elected, he would reinstate his “Schedule F” executive order that he signed at the end of his first term.
“Schedule F” strips civil service protections from up to 50,000 federal workers allowing Donald Trump to fire them for working to sabotage his agenda.
DeSantis also stated his intention to defang the Deep State using every constitutional power available at the president’s disposal.
“We have a bureaucracy that’s totally out of control. You need to be willing to use Article 2 power to bring the administrative state to heel,” DeSantis continued. “I will do that.”
Finally, DeSantis explained to Gowdy that he would force Congress to use its Article I power of the purse to defund the woke, out-of-control bureaucracy.
“I think Congress also has a role in reigning in the abuses through both the power of the purse and through making sure that they are legislating through clear and defined laws that aren’t delegating huge swaths of power to unelected bureaucrats,” DeSantis continued.
DeSantis attempted to cast Donald Trump as a failure who could not get the job done during his term in office.
Trump hit back at DeSantis welcoming him to the race and taking a shot at the botched Twitter Spaces DeSantis used to announce his campaign.
Trump also reiterated his belief that the radical left that run the Democrat Party and the corporate media are the biggest enemies America faces and must be defeated in 2024.
“I’d like to personally congratulate ‘Rob’ DeSanctimonious on finally announcing that he will be entering the race for President of the United States. Hopefully, he will get the full experience of being attacked by the Marxists, Communists, and Radical Left Lunatics of our Country, without which he will never know the kind of job he is doing. These Lowlifes & Misfits are far worse than the leaders of hostile foreign countries. They must be soundly defeated in order to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Normally it takes time for campaigns and candidates to develop a dislike for one another and begin going right for the jugular.
But with Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis that moment arrived on day one.
