Trump — who once endorsed DeSantis as his 'great friend' — slams the 'ungrateful' Florida governor, saying 'I made him,' report says Katherine Tangalakis-Lippert 9 hours ago https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-slams-desantis-as-ungrateful-i-made-him-wapo-reports-2022-9 In this November 3, 2018 file photo, then-President Donald Trump stands behind Ron DeSantis during a rally in Pensacola, Florida, during his first gubernatorial run. Butch Dill, File/AP Photo Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis haven't spoken in months, The Washington Post reported. Trump endorsed DeSantis during his 2018 gubernatorial campaign but hasn't campaigned for him this year. Privately, Trump now slams DeSantis as "ungrateful," telling advisers: "I made him," WaPo reported. Though former President Donald Trump vigorously campaigned in support of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in 2018, the one-time allies have grown distant amid rumors they will soon launch competing campaigns for the 2024 presidential election. Sources familiar with the pair's interactions told The Washington Post the two haven't spoken in months, despite Trump once saying DeSantis would make a good Vice President if he changed up his ticket in 2024. Privately, Trump now lambasts the man he once referred to as his "great friend," calling the Florida governor "ungrateful" for his earlier endorsement, The Washington Post reported. "I made him," The Washington Post reported Trump told his aides while monitoring DeSantis' public appearances and polling numbers. Though neither has officially announced a 2024 presidential run, the two politicians are widely regarded as expected frontrunners in the upcoming race, which Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell predicted would feature a "crowded" primary. "I don't understand what happened here," The Washington Post reported Trump said of DeSantis' diminishing support. "I don't understand why he doesn't appreciate me more." Trump has made similar comments before, criticizing DeSantis for his "dull personality." In response, DeSantis has taken steps to distinguish himself from the former president on the campaign trail, though he hasn't explicitly criticized Trump. His recent decision to fly asylum seekers to Martha's Vineyard sent the former president into a rage, according to a report from Rolling Stone, spurring political analysts to argue that DeSantis was taking the spotlight off of Trump and furthering their rivalry. The strategy appears to be working: DeSantis has out-fundraised the former president this year to the tune of $43 million, according to data collected by OpenSecrets. Polling also suggests the governor has an advantage over the former president in a hypothetical primary match-up in 2024. Representatives for Trump and DeSantis did not immediately respond to Insider's requests for comment.

I see hypocrite Christian Conservatives interpret the bible to fit their selfish actions and behavior often but you really take the cake.
Who is even more pissed at DeSantis over his immigration flight stunt than Democrats? Well, Abbott and his staff who were never given a heads up are highly annoyed. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis Faces Secret Backlash From Texas Gov. Greg Abbott Over Martha's Vineyard Migrant Stunt https://radaronline.com/p/ron-desantis-mounting-backlash-greg-abbott-marthas-vineyard-stunt/ Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Texas Governor Greg Abbott are reportedly in the midst of a heated GOP rivalry following DeSantis’ controversial Martha’s Vineyard stunt earlier this month, RadarOnline.com has learned. In a surprising development to come after the two governors were seemingly on good terms, the two men’s political relationship has started to crumble after DeSantis failed to inform anyone on Abbott’s team of his plan to collect nearly 50 migrants in San Antonio and fly them to Massachusetts on September 14. That is the revelation made in a newly published New York Times report that indicated DeSantis not only annoyed those in Martha’s Vineyard with his widely condemned stunt, but also fellow Republicans in Texas – particularly some of Abbott’s closest allies and aides. The new rivalry seemingly comes because Abbott was already in the process of relocating upwards of 11,000 Texas migrants to New York, Washington and Chicago in a well-orchestrated “relocation program” meant to protest the Biden Administration’s allegedly lax immigration policies. But months later, and after spending millions of Texas tax dollars on his efforts, Abbott was forced to sit and watch as the “national spotlight” shined on DeSantis’s Martha’s Vineyard stunt – despite the fact DeSantis only relocated a small margin of the number of migrants Abbott has relocated in recent months. Even more shocking is the fact that both governors have reportedly been engaged in “an increasingly high-stakes contest of one-upmanship” for years, with one governor introducing new policies in their state only for the other governor to follow suit in their state shortly after. For example, Abbott proposed new legislation in August 2020 that would punish cities in Texas that chose to decrease funding for the police by stopping those cities from raising property tax revenue. One month later, DeSantis followed suit and threatened to cut state funding to Florida cities that cut funding for the police. Then, in June 2021, DeSantis signed into law a bill that prevents transgender girls from playing on female-only sports teams in his state’s public-school districts. That October, Abbott signed a nearly identical bill into law in Texas. But despite DeSantis and Abbott’s apparent rivalry and “high-stakes contest of one-upmanship,” others have suggested both men’s newfound animosity towards each other is a result of the quickly nearing 2024 presidential election. “No one has ever been elected governor of even a small state who didn’t, somewhere deep in their heart, start dreaming about being president,” Chris Wilson, a pollster who has previously worked for both governors, recently said. “So it’s not shocking to see both Abbott and DeSantis jockeying at least a little toward 2024 or beyond,” Wilson added.
DeSantis performed his immigrant flight stunt because he was jealous of Abbott getting all the attention and the "luck" Abbott had to be a governor of a border state. Can this entire situation get anymore stupid? Well kidnapping people from another state to put on fake immigrant deportation flights is already at a pretty high level of stupid --- but doing it because you are jealous that someone else is receiving brings it to a new level.
