Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he wanted to “personally congratulate” Ron DeSantis for formally entering the presidential primary, hours after the Florida governor filed paper work with the Federal Election Commission launching his candidacy.
Posting on the social media platform Truth Social, Trump — known for coining pejorative nicknames of his political opponents — called the governor “Rob DeSanctimonious” and said he hoped his Republican rival would “get the full experience of being attacked by the Marxists, Communists, and the Radical Left Lunatics of our Country.”
“These Lowlifes & Misfits are far worse than the leaders of hostile foreign countries,” the former president wrote. “They must be soundly defeated in order to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
