Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley have been attacked by a number of Trump loyalists for failing to comment on rumors the former president will be arrested on Tuesday.
MAGA Republicans have criticized DeSantis and Haley for not speaking out against the Manhattan DA's office for what they claim is a weaponization of the justice system.
DeSantis is widely rumored to be preparing to run against Trump for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. Haley was the first to enter the race after Trump. Jason Miller, a Trump adviser and the former CEO of right-wing free speech app Gettr noted a 'radio silence' from the two since the rumors gained momentum early on Saturday.

Let's see...rumor of arrest apparently emanating from FPDT himself. Smells like a political trap...others to comment on rumors, show "support", perhaps look foolish if no arrest materializes. Some expect DeSantis to stop Trump from surrendering himself to NY authorities...in NYC. The drama is just what America needs. Hmmmm, this is looking very suspect.

Why does a smart, capable, multi billionaire, with a massive social media following require White Knight grandstanding from his political competitors?

Nikki Haley is a BAD CHOICE for president but look at the voters and their ignorant past.

Their cowardice and silence automatically disqualifies them from running for the presidency.

I think it more likely they’re waiting to see if he’s indicted and arrested. Why mouth off about something that hasn’t happened? And for the record I hope it doesn’t happen.

They just wrote the epitaph of their future political ambitions! It’s now or never.

Do you think that the leftists are stroking a fight between DeSantis and PDT?
DeSantis hasn't said he will run. He's promoting his name in case something undesirable happens to PDT.
PDT and DeSantis have much in common and normally synergize quite well together.

on a Florida statewide level, DeSantis might be more popular than our President but, on a national level he can't hold a candle to our President and I think he knows it but then again our President is very, very popular in Florida

What I would have liked to see from these two is a thorough condemnation of the kangaroo court tactics used for the purpose of hounding an innocent man since 2016. You don't have to agree with the rumors, but condemnation of these tactics is what is needed. Why on earth don't they get it that this lack of same is why the democrats feel embolden to continue?

If they don't speak if there is an indictment that would be suicide.

Yes, they are. If you do not see the damage that is being done to our country and decide to not speak out because you don't like Trump, you are part of the problem.

First of all, what's outrageous and goes against every precept of a Constitutional Republic is the non-stop persecution of Donald Trump, from first Presidential run announcement to today, regardless of how often the storylines have been proved absurd, stupid, false.
On the other hand, President Trump needs to stop burning bridges, and instead, build new ones --and rebuild the ones lost and worth restoring. I am tired and weary of the petty attacks, name-calling (never liked that, it just sounds puerile). I want him to remind the people of what his administration was able to accomplish despite the unjust and treacherous treatment he got and gets. The sad truth is, people forget, and an awful lot have been propagandized, lied to with sins of omission and commission.
You have to repeat the facts and the truth again and again, and you can't rely on any MSM outlet media, journals, newspapers.
Then, expose every lie of the Biden clan and political mobsters. AND, educate the people on what fascism really is, and what dictatorships are, what they do, and why they are always totalitarians.
The people need to fully wake up. NOW. Not one minute to waste.
Am i hopeful? ...ummmmm

So Trump has been trashing DeSantis and calling him names but now he is upset that the Govenor is not coming to his defense?
DJTs sense of entitlement is getting out of control.

The New York Times has taken note of Trump’s political maneuvering against DeSantis and has an article out for Monday’s paper cowritten by Jonathan Swan and Maggie Haberman (Donald Trump's go-to contact at the Times per Andrew McCarthy in an article posted earlier today on this site.)
It’s probably one of the very few times you’ll find the Times quoting Jack Posobiec ("far right political activist"; "...taking receipts on everyone..." [I guess for Santa]); and "Gateway Pundit" ("a conspiratorial website with a large far-right following...".)

They’re being criticized “for failing to comment on rumors…”??? This is a feature, not a bug. There is a vicious cycle among activists, some political actors and social media to keep everyone perpetually riled up and racking up click counts. Rumors are floated, comments are made, comments are demanded, and this is then passed off as news. Unfortunately DJT plays in this space as well. If the DA actually moves on this, I’d expect DeSantis to comment forcefully on it, and if he doesn’t, shame on him. Haley? Who knows and who cares!
