Rolling Stone is reporting from within the Trump campaign and their efforts to bully Governor DeSantis and keep him from throwing his hat into the 2024 ring.
According to the report, several advisors who used to work for Governor DeSantis are now working for Team Trump and they are aiding the former president to try and humiliate DeSantis.

The report suggests they are trying to help Trump getting under DeSantis’ skin, to ‘mindf—‘ with him or something.
They claim that the two-term governor is sensitive and doesn’t take well to humor. They believe that DeSantis will eventually back down if Trump continues to ‘mess with him’.
I certainly don’t know Governor DeSantis, but I can’t believe he’d be doing as well as he is in Florida if he were as susceptible to taunts and criticism as these Team Trump people claim. It just doesn’t add up.
And I’m sure this petty ‘mindf—‘ strategy from Team Trump will keep DeSantis from announcing if that is what he intends to do.
