Trump has been setting a low bar in this primary battle and I didn’t think he could go any lower, but he just did.
Yesterday Bob Vander Plaats endorsed Ron DeSantis for president and that has led to a very jealous Trump now making outrageous lies up about DeSantis paying for that endorsement.
I just mentioned today how Democrats use politics of destruction to try and ruin Trump, and here he is doing the same thing to DeSantis. He’s been doing it all year but this is a new low.
Vander Plaats responded this morning with an accusation of his own, suggesting that Trump tried to bribe him earlier this year for his endorsement. He didn’t come right out and say it, but that is the tilt of his comment to Trump “But, then you already knew that didn’t you?”
Reposting my August 12 tweet for @realDonaldTrump
Nope…my endorsement isn't, wasn't and never has been for sale. But, then you already knew that…didn't you?
The fact is @RonDeSantis earned my endorsement and, soon, he will earn an Iowa Caucus Victory. #ChooseWell2024 https://t.co/3w8r0qVMI3

If what Vander Plaats is suggesting is true, then Trump is now falsely accusing DeSantis of something he’s already tried to do. Yikes.
