Trump criticizes DeSantis for saying it will take over four years to complete the task.

Trump Mocks DeSantis’s Presidential Ambitions

“I’ve been watching DeSanctus go out and say, ‘I’ve got eight years. It’s going to be eight years,’”

“Let me tell you something, you should vote against him. It will take me six months to have it totally the way it was.”

Former President Donald Trump took a jab at Governor Ron DeSantis’s claim that the United States needs a two-term president. Speaking at a campaign event in Des Moines, Iowa, Trump boasted that he could turn the country around in just six months, mocking DeSantis’s eight-year plan.

Trump vs. DeSantis

Trump and DeSantis are both vying for the Republican nomination in 2024, with recent polling showing Trump with a substantial lead over DeSantis. Sensing a challenge from DeSantis early on, Trump has launched a series of attacks at the Florida governor, including creating nicknames and disparaging his weight, appearance, and track record as governor.

DeSantis has called the mudslinging “juvenile” and “petty” and believes it has alienated voters away from Trump. However, he doesn’t let the attacks bother him, saying, “I don’t care what they say about me in terms of name-calling. Although, you know, I would say you need to call me a winner because we’ve won in Florida over and over again.”

DeSantis’s Presidential Ambitions

Last week, DeSantis pitched himself as the presidential candidate that can solve “all of these issues” as a likely two-term president, claiming that it takes two terms to finish the job due to the entrenched bureaucracy. Trump, on the other hand, believes that it would only take him six months to have the country back on track.

Despite DeSantis’s claims, Trump urged voters not to support him, saying, “Who the hell wants to wait eight years? If it takes eight years to turn this around, then you don’t want him.”

Conclusion

As the two leading contenders for the Republican nomination in 2024, Trump and DeSantis’s rivalry is heating up. While DeSantis believes that it takes two terms to fix the country’s issues, Trump is confident that he can do it in just six months. Only time will tell who will come out on top.
