Former President Donald Trump expressed his fury at Fox News and owner Rupert Murdoch for promoting Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis after the midterm elections in an intentional effort to promote himself as the future of the Republican Party.
“NewsCorp, which is Fox, the Wall Street Journal, and the no longer great New York Post (bring back Col!), is all in for Governor Ron DeSanctimonious,” the president said on social media.
Since the midterm elections, Murdoch’s media empire began unloading on Trump.
The Wall Street Journal published six anti-Trump op-eds, including one calling him “the Republican Party’s biggest loser.”

Conservative Treehouse has an explanation for the Trump DeSantis discussion. In a nutshell, the establishment is pushing a candidate (DeSantis) who has the same chance of winning in 2024 as Romney or McCain did against Obama in 2008/2012. Those two candidates were pushed by the establishment to stop the Tea Party momentum in its tracks which they did. They don’t care if they lose an election, they want to kill off MAGA for good. Trump is trying to save MAGA at all costs. It’s ugly, it’s brutal but he remembers how the establishment stopped this movement the last time and he’s willing to lose a few supporters to save MAGA.

Nothing wrong with DeSantis, as he was soundly elected Governor of Florida for 4 more years; after that he can begin the process of running for President in 2028. Perfect timing for us, except that the MSM wants to rush DeSantis to a 2024 run in order to exclude President Trump.
It isn't that they "love" DeSantis, it's that they HATE Donald Trump so viscerally that they would sell their mothers to the devil if the devil would prevent Trump from ever setting foot in the White House as POTUS.

Well, he is losing supporters. There is a way to accomplish what Treehouse explains and acting like this is not that. Trump has been the best president in my lifetime (and I have personally been around four of them, including accompanying one on Air Force One) and I admire him for what he has done, his love for the country and his willingness to fight. He has been lied about and cheated out of re-election. But, he is now jumping the shark.
He could pivot and save his legacy, and I hope he does. But he is his own worse enemy and he is handing the noose to the leftist media and the despicable RINOs who hate him,
It is all very tragic.

Mr. President. PLEASE remember how to act presidential - whether on camera or at 2AM. It is time to change - to act differently and not petty. You remain essential but you are not our Savior. The war we are in will not be won and over whether you are elected again or not. We will be fighting it long after you are dust. Please Mr. President.

When the main steam media advocates for a candidate, that is a clear sign to me that I should not support that candidate.

Trump is not losing supporters. Fake trump supporters are pushing the new narrative that trump supporters are turning away.
There has been a huge flood of brand new names posting here in the last week. Every single one is a fake "I used to love trump but gosh I think I'll vote for the GOPe guy" poster.
You're all astroturfers getting paid to post fake anti-trump drivel.

6,
Trump has lost my support. I have been posting at Lucianne since the hanging chad days at the turn of the last century.
You are chugging that Kool-Aid now.
Trump is done and he did it to himself. He is behaving like a three year old whose parents just had a new baby and the lack of doting and accolades is turning him into an attention whore.

#6 - You are living in denial, and worse mirroring the reason so many have had enough. The MAGA Kamikaze crew just can’t get the vivid message sent by various races - and they weren’t all “fixed”. But go ahead. Call out the astroturfers here. Perhaps you’re a Soros-Cheney troll trying to stir things up yourself.

After a mostly excellent presidential term, Trump is throwing it all away because he can't help himself. He makes everything about him and does not care what it does to the party or the country. Many here may love him, but tens of millions of our fellow citizens detest him so much they chose the Democrats -- who brought us record inflation, soaring crime, and the ruin of our schools -- over the Party of Trump. That is not going to change. If we nominate him, we lose. Period.
DeSantis 2024.

Please -- enough already!!! He's acting like a stalker whose girlfriend has found someone else and just wants to move on with her life. OR, worse yet, he's acting like Madonna, who won't accept that her time has come and gone and keeps posting increasingly absurd pictures with fewer and fewer clothes in the hope that people will love her again. If he would just accept his role as an elder statesman, people would happily embrace him for his past accomplishments and future contributions. What a shame. He's becoming a cliche. And, yes, I voted for him twice!

DeSantis is an extremely popular Governor who just won re-election in a historic landslide. I’m not sure his press coverage of this should be characterized as ‘promotion’. Trump doesn’t own Fox News. His behavior reeks of jealousy and sour grapes. Love him or hate him it’s not a good look.

Comparing DeSantis to McCain and Romney is nuts. Both were wimps. I love that Trump keeps attacking the Trump hating media but bashing DeSantis isn't helping anyone, including himself. Doing this is pissing off even his most ardent supporters, myself included.

Trump hasn't changed at all. This is who he always was. He isn't a team player and never was.
If you wanted a team player you should've voted for "Jeb!".
There's definitely kool-aid drinking going on. It's narrative flavored.

Isn’t this odd that VSGPDJT is declared a loser breath even as more of those he backed win ? Somehow the narrative “angry loser “ was en place as soon as polls closed ..not counting /stealing / finding ..merely closed and so many “supporters “ launched the “orange man bad ..and now very angry too “ meme.
Sundance called this . “ mr pure as the wind driven “‘s backers are the usual turtle , mrs turtle ,P ryan , glo-bullies etc are driving the false narrative .even as those rovian candidates DeS supported ..lost .

Geez...enough already. Trump is Trump. He defeated a ton of establishment nominees in a primary, won the presidency over a media sponsored anointed queen. His MAGA policy produced amazing results and his international accomplishments are legend--all while fending off multiple impeachments and suffering incompetent or seditious staff. And you are smarter than him on how to win?
If you don't like him, don't support him and pick your loser. If you feel it's important to tell the world that you don't like him, have at it. If you think his thoughts or speech should be censored file a lawsuit. If you think you. or the media, the GOPe or the dummocrats are going to defeat him, I give you Liz Cheney.

Hey #1 Ron DeSantis is no Romney or McCain. He is a far bearer conservative then either of them. It is true that the Murdoch owned media has thrown the towel in on Trump and trying to shut him down. Trumps response is to immediately fight back like a cornered tiger. I think he would be better off at this time to embrace DeSantis for having done a great job as governor and to promote him as someone who has the ability to be a president some day. This way, if Trump decides to run again it would put the ball in DeSantis court to decide if he wants to challenge. Only then do you start the competition and let the people decide in the primaries.

The communists got their wish in more ways than one. Not only did they steal yet another election, they got many Trump supporters to hate him. Yes, I'm tired of the pettiness and the junior high name calling. I was tired of it before he was elected last time. But the fact remains that my retirement money was never better, we were more respected around the world and things were just better. Now we are ruled by criminals, sexual spastics and pedophiles, and everyone just conveniently forgets that.
So as the country swirls down the toilet and everything you own becomes worthless, enjoy your happy tweets, your elementary school groomers and your trannies.

He can't even let the Georgia run-off take place first. It's so selfish and, frankly, disgusting. No more selfish, angry old people. Go away, Mr. Trump, before you give the Democrats their most cherished dream. You're finished. And if you persist in this stupid old man behavior, our Republic will be finished because the Democrats will slaughter you and us in 2024.

#6, it's mostly Democrats call foul with posts that disagree with them but are honest differences. You just did the same thing, insinuating that anyone who disagrees that Trump should be the nominee is an "astroturfer." That isn't worthy of any conservative. And it's dead wrong.
I don't believe Trump should run for many reasons, not the least of which is that in two years, he will be much older, and at his age, age gallops forward, it doesn't creep.

The 'communists' did not make Trump say and do the childish things he has done over the last two weeks. I am judging him NOT on what the media SAYS he did, but on what he specifically and unquestionably DID say and do.
You cannot honestly deflect this to some outside malevolent forces that are twisting and distorting his words. Trump's words are clear and unmistakable. He is a baby. The big Trump Baby balloon that Brit would fly all over the world now seems a bit prophetic.
So, let Trump announce next Tuesday then let's put him out to pasture by Friday.
And if he tries to form a third party... every single word and deed that he spoke and did to help our nation will be at risk as a Trump third party will absolutely ensure a democrat win in 2024.

Three days after the mid-term success I can't believe people are ready to plant the rugged cross on the hill saying Rest in Peace MAGA. Not me and the cool aid is good. I don't know DeSantis but he sure is a good governor for Florida. I know Trump I'll remain in the MAGA camp no one is going to spoon feed me the next candidate and tell me they're greater than Trump. I can say this if in the next two years the mail in ballots isn't outlawed not Trump or DeSantis will not win Buttigieg has a chance see how that works. Democrats have perfected stealing elections if the right just stands by. MAGA

The silence of DeSantis is eloquent. He's too busy running his state. " Nothing is sometimes a good thing to do and always a good thing to say."
And Trump can't stand it.
"As I was going up the stair
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today Oh how I wish he'd go away."

23,
Agreed. Trump has every right to destroy the party with his pettiness, to tarnish the conservative movement with his own personal issues that are JUST NOW really coming out.
He has every right to turn himself into a self-parody that would put Alec Baldwin out of work.
There are clearly still blind supporters who cannot see more than three feet in front of their OWN faces in order to perceive the damage the man is doing at this point on a much wider basis. Politics is not a prize fight with two in the ring and one will win. Politics is the quintessential 'team sport' in which every voter is an actual player.
The attributes of a winning politician do not just consist of being right on principle, but also on being able to effectively harness the power of the electorate to achieve those underlying principles.
Trump has thrown that all to the wayside now and has made EVERYTHING about himself. We all knew he lacked a bedside manner 6 years ago. Now he has thrown away ALL manners and I am done with him.
22 years here. I am done with the man-child.

Whatever is going on with Trump trashing DeSantis, and I will not seek any insight from Sundance at Conservative Treehouse, it is Rupert Murdoch’s and Fox News’s right to promote whomever they wish. The majority of the opinion side of Fox are strong Trump supporters. Trump is throwing a tantrum and it has already gotten old.

At least PDT is doing something and not saying the same ole nice Republican crap we normally get. I like his spine! but I'm not normally the fair-weather type either. Some of ya'll need to get it together. Such short memories. No wonder Republicans get had all the time. I'm glad the new and younger conservatives are way tougher and are not into being prim and proper all the freakin time.

Trump is absolutely right about FOX. Fox is supporting DeSantis just like they did Jeb Bush. Fox does not realize that their support dose not help DeSantis but only hurts him my making us more suspicious.
Fox will support anyone over Trump. If Fox is able to destroy Trump, they may go after DeSasntis and support another candidate. Don't trust Fox news.

Trump is correct that Fox has turned against him, but that's not the point. His needless criticism of Ron DeSantis is disclosing a devastating character flaw. All hell is going to break out if he announces his intent to run again for President. Democrats will immediately pull out all stops to destroy him as their hatred of him has no bounds. He should announce he's not running. The nameless, faceless people who are controlling the Biden administration are dangerous fanatics. They are not going to change their plans unless and until they are affirmatively stopped. A few days ago, Biden told us he's not going to pivot. Hopefully in the next two years the rising inflation, fuel shortages, supply chain shortages (including food), rationing of electricity, increasing crime, diminishing the strength of our armed services, and millions more illegal immigrates pouring cross the border will awaken Democrats that they TOO will go down with the sinking ship.

Chris on Newsmax said Fox is purposely trying to divide the Republican Party…and advised Trump & De Santis to ignore Fox & work together. Quit responding to Fox. Cavuto has a different I hate Trump fake republican on his show each day just to make headlines .
