It seems Donald Trump is still big mad at his FL doppelganger, Governor Ron DeSantis, and apparently wants to be sure that he “asserts his dominance” on the Republican leader of the state Trump now calls home as he gets closer and closer to potentially officially announcing his 2024 presidential run.
Over the weekend, Rolling Stone reported that the disgraced, one-term, twice-impeached former president is on a warpath to do a lot more than just smack DeSantis’ ego down a notch when it comes to the 2024 presidential election. Apparently, the ex-president is looking to put DeSantis flat in his place by making his official announcement not just in the state of Florida, not even just state capital of Tallahassee, but instead is searching for a venue that’s as close to the front door of the governor’s mansion as humanly possible.
Citing anonymous sources close to the ex-president, the publication wrote that Donald Trump is looking to “stick it” to his former Floridian pal, who has been inching far too dangerously close for Trump’s comfort in polls all year.
Rolling Stone’s Asawin Suebsaeng writes, “People who’ve spoken to Trump say that one reason he’s eying the Sunshine State is to assert his dominance over an ascendant DeSantis. Trump, the sources say, has even asked some associates if they had opinions on any good venues or event spaces — that just happen to be located close to the Florida Governor’s Mansion in Tallahassee.”

Citing the Rolling Stone report on the matter, Vanity Fair’s Bess Levin added her own touch of flair to the topic today:
Rolling Stone reports that Trump, unsurprisingly, would like to kick off a bid for the White House with a flashy rally, including fireworks, and not only wants to do it in Florida to ‘assert his dominance over an ascendant DeSantis’ but has asked people if they know of venues near the governor’s Tallahassee mansion. Is he going to rent a skywriting plane and have it put a giant ‘F–k you, Ron’ over the guy’s place too? Honestly, there’s truly nothing we should put past him.”
Suffice it to say, this is about to get very interesting.
