Donald Trump is still making a point of taking Ron DeSantis out of the 2024 GOP presidential race despite the fact that Ron DeSantis isn’t even technically in the 2024 presidential race.

The newest of many, many statements on Governor DeSantis. Many, many unhinged and nervous statements about Ron DeSantis.
"If he remains governor…it would be a whole different story."
President Trump provides a reminder: His criticisms of Gov. DeSantis's leadership are not sincere. He just doesn't like that Gov. DeSantis is considering running for president. pic.twitter.com/c9ukm2UJsY

The level of desperation for someone who supposedly has the primary on lock is really something… #Scared https://t.co/Cu3Wv0J1AC

They’re really not. Like, not even a little bit.
But for whatever it’s worth, Trump is not focused solely on taking down Ron DeSantis. He’s also taking opportunities to hit … himself? Maybe that’s not his intention, but in setting his sights on former Attorney General Bill Barr, isn’t that effectively what he’s doing?
Trump should go on a screed against himself for nominating people like Barr. pic.twitter.com/OcPGVdi59l

(For those of you who might be wondering what the “BOXES HOAX” is — I admit that I was wondering — Trump is apparently referring to the FBI’s raid on Mar-a-Lago, which turned up boxes of classified documents.)
Now, as far as I know, Bill Barr isn’t running for office. At least he hasn’t announced that he has any intent to run for office. So what, exactly, does Donald Trump think he’s accomplishing by impugning Bill Barr’s conservative bona fides other than making himself look slovenly and pathetic and weak and angry? Bill Barr didn’t get to be U.S. Attorney General on his own; someone put him in that position. Someone named … Donald Trump.
Who made Bill Barr attorney general?

Rhymes with Schmonald Schmump. Let’s see if he can figure it out!
He is just coming off as pathetic now. Sad! pic.twitter.com/TI4f1719zs

Aren't people tired of this stuff yet? I mean come on..

One would think. But then, he’s been doing this for years. The thing where he appoints someone to a position and brags about hiring only the best people only to turn on them when they offer even the mildest criticism and then pretends that he never sang their praises and that he always knew from the very beginning that they were bad news and incompetent.
So ironic that his greatest claim to fame was his alleged genius at spotting talent

Can't wait for Trump to be elected president in 2024 and announce all his new appointments so we'll know who in the future he'll denounce as morons and idiots. https://t.co/XtpgCFTFVK
