If there were any doubt that all the chatter about Trump being consumed with resentment of and hatred for Ron DeSantis is true, he removed it with his gratuitous shot at the Florida governor . . . at a rally for Republican candidates in Pennsylvania . . . three days before the midterms. Trump called DeSantis “Ron DeSanctimonous,” a relatively sophisticated nickname, although not one likely to stick. Trump must have been thinking of the “God made a fighter” ad, which everyone seems to be taking literally even though it’s clearly a reference to the famous Paul Harvey “God made a farmer” speech. Trump’s shot won’t have any effect on DeSantis on Tuesday, but it shows how much DeSantis is on Trump’s mind, previews the brutish attacks to come, and shows Trump will have no compunction about crushing the future of the party to maintain his grip for another two years and possibly beyond.
