We saw freedom in our very way of life and in so many other jurisdictions in this country. Florida, withering on the vine, held the line. We chose facts over fear, education over indoctrination, law and order over rioting and disorder; Florida was a haven...

Photo "Donald Trump" by  Dan Scavino Former US President Donald Trump mocked Ron DeSantis as "Ron DeSanctimonious" at a Latrobe rally yesterday in Pennsylvania. Watch out for his complete reaction below. Trump, while addressing his rally, said these lines: Today I have the highest poll numbers I've ever had, perhaps partly because the Democrats are so severely running our country and people want our tremendous success of no inflation, energy independence, and military victory (remember, I defeated ISIS one hundred percent). Remember Al-Baghdadi and so many other things, including crime? We had it weighed down. But we have the best poll numbers; where are they putting them up on the screen? I think you should put them up and look at them. We are winning big, big, big in the Republican Party for the nomination like nobody's ever seen before. Let's say there is Trump at 71, Ron DeSanctimonious at 10 percent, and Mike Pence at seven. Targeting forme...

We've had major issues of global significance, and we've been on the front lines protecting people's rights, keeping people working, and protecting our kids in school, and I think you see a huge groundswell of support out there to recognize that leadership. But it's also the case that people also recognize that, while the State of Florida may be on the right track, our country's leadership is taking us down the wrong track. And you've seen I don't know if you saw, but we did have a visitor earlier this week down in South Florida. It's a fella that was wandering around a little aimlessly. I don't know if he really knew where they had to get him—you kno...
