Former President Donald Trump slammed the New York Post on Sunday for a glowing profile they published on Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis(R) who is expected to be Trump’s biggest hurdle to securing the GOP nomination for president.
“In writer Salena Zito’s Fake News “puff piece” about DeSantis, which supposedly appeared in the dying New York Post, which is way down in readership just like FoxNews is way down in Ratings, why doesn’t she mention that he wants to cut Social Security & Medicare, loves losers like Jeb Bush, Paul Ryan, and Karl Rove, and it getting CLOBBERED in the polls by me,” Trump wrote on Sunday on Truth Social.
“DeSantis is a RINO who is trying to hide his past. I don’t read the New York Post anymore. It has become Fake News, just like Fox & WSJ!” Trump added.
The Post is one of several right wing outlets to turn on Trump after Republicans’ underwhelming performance in the 2022 midterms which they blamed on the former president.
Polls have consistently show DeSantis and Trump leading the GOP primary field.
DeSantis is yet to announce his bid for the 2024 GOP nomination for president. Trump, on the other hand, was the first major candidate to announce he was running for president last November.
The New York Post buried Trump’s announcement on page 26 with the headline ‘Florida Man Makes an Announcement.’
