The campaign team for former President Donald Trump has launched a vehement attack on Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL), presenting a sexually charged narrative regarding internal conflicts within the SuperPAC supporting DeSantis. The report, initially disclosed by NBC News on Tuesday, delves into the tumultuous dynamics within the Never Back Down SuperPAC, which is fervently backing DeSantis’s bid to challenge Trump for the Republican presidential candidacy.
Accompanying the NBC News expose, the Trump campaign disseminated a peculiar memo to reporters, titled:
**”KISS OF DEATH: Ron DeSantis’s Sugar Daddy Drama”**
The memo delves into an altercation involving Jeff Roe, described as DeSantis’s “original sugar daddy,” and Scott Wagner, a board member of Never Back Down. The heated exchange reportedly almost escalated into a physical confrontation, with Roe exclaiming, “You have a stick up your ass, Scott,” and Wagner responding assertively before being restrained by fellow board members.
The memo further critiques Roe’s standing in “DeSanctus World,” portraying him as a fallen figure, no longer the influential force he once was in DeSantis’s political journey. Steven Cheung, a spokesperson for Trump, commented on the unfolding drama, stating, “If DeSanctus thinks paying for small-time endorsements can save his campaign, he isn’t just stupid, he’s braindead.”
The situation for DeSantis appears to be worsening, as indicated by recent poll numbers. Morning Consult’s latest survey shows President Trump leading DeSantis by a significant margin of 53 points, with DeSantis securing only 13% support nationally. A separate Harvard/Harris poll paints an even bleaker picture for DeSantis, placing him in the single digits nationally and trailing Trump by a staggering 58 points. In this survey, Trump commands nearly 70% support among Republicans, while DeSantis has seen a decline to a mere 9% support.
Caught in the midst of internal conflicts and plummeting support, the DeSantis camp has shifted its focus to Nikki “Birdbrain” Haley, who, according to polls, is emerging as a formidable challenger to DeSantis for the unenviable title of “First Place Loser.”
