Trump accuses DeSantis’s campaign of being ‘crazy’ in Republican debate.

Former President Donald Trump Claims⁢ Gov. Ron DeSantis’s Campaign⁢ is Finished

During an interview with Tucker Carlson on Wednesday night, former​ President​ Donald Trump made a bold statement about his top presidential primary opponent, Gov. Ron DeSantis‌ (R-FL). Trump⁢ confidently declared that DeSantis’s campaign is finished, using derogatory language to express his opinion. However, ⁤Trump acknowledged that if someone else were to enter‍ the race, they would face the same vicious attacks he experienced.

Stealing the Spotlight

The ⁢timing of the interview was ⁣strategic, as it coincided with the Republican National ‍Committee’s first primary debate airing​ on Fox News. This move was intended to divert attention away ​from Trump’s ​2024 rivals and ensure that all eyes were on him.

Trump’s Dominance and DeSantis’s Struggles

Trump currently ⁤holds ‌a significant lead in both national ⁣and state polls, consistently polling ahead⁣ of his competitors by double digits. On the ⁣other hand, DeSantis has encountered various campaign issues, including financial concerns, staffing problems, and⁢ messaging challenges. As a result, DeSantis’s poll numbers have declined ⁢while Trump’s continue to rise.

Trump’s Controversial Remarks

During the interview, Trump also claimed that Fox News favored DeSantis over him but dismissed the governor’s campaign as a “lost cause.” Additionally, Trump vehemently criticized the indictments brought⁢ against him,⁢ labeling them‍ as fraudulent and expressing his disdain for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. ‌Trump is set to turn himself in to a Fulton County⁢ jail on Thursday, where he will have his mugshot and fingerprints taken.

Despite these controversies, Trump remains the frontrunner for⁢ the GOP’s presidential nominee in the upcoming election.
