If I had to guess it’s a swipe at Hunter Biden. You know, Hunter Biden, the criminal mastermind who is somehow responsible for every bad thing that ever happens in the US. I bet he’s at a pizza parlor right now scheming and plotting alongside Hillary and the Unselect Committee. 🙄

Obviously Donald is going to be posting stuff like that pretty much continuously, from now on.

The question is: what will DeSantis do about it? Maintain a dignified distance and refuse to reply? Re-zone Mar-A-Lago as a landfill? What?

Sure; if he has the gall to re-write the Bible, he surely has the ability to assume the posture of an Elder Statesman as he eviscerates Donald.

So, umm, now Trump not only thinks he should still be President but he also should be the Governor of Florida?

There is zero incentive for DeSantis to engage Trump at this point. The way that DeSantis wins is if he steals away the base from Trump in a relatively seamless transition as his star rises and Trump’s star falls. Trump is trying to force a division to cut off DeSantis from this base right from the start. If DeSantis responds in kind he gives Trump what he wants. If he bides his time Trump looks more and more petty and desperate and DeSantis appears as the strong one.

Jefferson didn’t so much rewrite the Bible as streamline it.

I’d laugh if he pulled out some classified document as the “dirt.”

Yet again, this seems like it should be an _Onion_ headline.

“Trump feels he was just being patriotic when he defamed one of his rape victims, because he was protecting the President of the United States.”

Heh.

TJ was a pretty arrogant guy too, truth be told. But I doubt that even _he_ would have claimed that The Deity created him on the 8th day.
