DeSantis gets in the mud with Trump

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) decided to respond to former President Donald Trump's ongoing attacks against him. He spoke at a press conference on Tuesday and called Trump's comments "noise" adding that he's more focused on delivering for voters at the highest possible level. 

A reporter asked him what he thinks of Trump's "big announcement" tonight, Tuesday, and what he thinks of the ongoing attacks by him.

“Well, you know, one of the things I’ve learned in this job is when you’re doing, when you’re leading, when you’re getting things done, you take incoming fire, that’s just the nature of it,” DeSantis said. “I roll out of bed in the morning, I’ve got corporate media outlets that have a spasm, just the fact that I’m getting up in the morning, and it’s constantly attacking, and this is just what’s happened.” 

In other words, as the old saying goes, 'if you're catching flack, you're over the target.'

“I don’t think any governor got attacked more particularly by corporate media than me over my four-year term,” DeSantis continued. “And yet, I think what you learn is all that’s just noise. And really what matters is: Are you leading? Are you getting in front of issues? Are you delivering results for people? And are you standing up for folks? And if you do that, then none of that stuff matters. And that’s what we’ve done.”

“We focused on results and leadership. And, you know, at the end of the day, I would just tell people to go check out the scoreboard from last Tuesday night,” DeSantis continued. “The fact of the matter is, it was the greatest Republican victory in the history of the state of Florida.”

Trump has been attempting to label DeSantis as "Ron DeSanctimonious" but rather than sticking the landing, he seems to have fallen on his butt and sounds more like a child. 

I can only imagine that a lot more of this is destined to come and I hope DeSantis doesn't allow himself to get sucked into Trump's wheelhouse.
