Former President Donald Trump hit all the top records at his second fireplace-style rally after leaving the White House.
Trump held a zealous and loud trial in front of a crowd at the Sarasota Exhibition Center in southwest Florida, focusing on crime and immigration issues against his successor, President Biden. Trump accuses “our streets are being invaded by vicious thugs and bloodthirsty criminals,” claiming that “our borders are being erased before our eyes.”
DESANTIS AIDES DENY reports that the mayor urged TRUMP to cancel the rally
A week after holding his first post-presidential rally in Ohio, Trump also focused on cultural wars on Saturday night, noting that “critical race theory is hitting our kids in the throat and dragging them into the military.” And he nullified the political struggle for transgender rights and said “men were allowed to play women’s sports, so it’s unfair, very crazy.”
He once again cheered the crowd by saying that “we are looking at more than just looking at the election” in the 2024 presidential election, where he may try to return to the White House.
And the former president sued the New York prosecutor’s office on Thursday for accusing the Trump Organization and its chief financial officer of tax fraud and conspiracy, calling it a “prosecutorial misconduct.”
But the former president’s nearly 90-minute speech in Sunshine had one serious flaw – he didn’t talk about his ally and Republican – Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
DESANTIS, BIDEN, PUT POLITICS IN THE PRESIDENT’S ROUND IN FLORIDA CONDO COLLAPSE TYPES
While he made a fuss and highlighted many of his political allies in Florida, Trump remained silent about DeSantis, who did not attend the rally. While Trump was in Sarasota, the governor stayed in Surfside, Florida, on the Atlantic coast because he was involved in serving the victims of a horrific condominium collapse.
The governor’s office said DeSantis wanted to attend the rally, but was on his way to Florida, not to attend the rally amid the Surfside tragedy and the upcoming storm.
“He talked to President Trump, and he agreed that it was the right decision because the governor’s job should be in Surfside,” DeSantis spokeswoman Christina Pushav said.
And in an interview with Newsmax ahead of his rally, Trump said he told the governor not to attend.
DeSantis, who was elected governor of Florida in 2018 because of his support for Trump, is a conservative congressman who is popular among Florida and Republicans across the country because the coronavirus ruled his country in a nemesis state. and combating its COVID limitations.
This reinforces possible national ambitions and expectations of presidential candidates from the 2024 Republican Party, led by DeSantis. And DeSantis recently interviewed Trump at the 2024 poll at a conservative meeting in Colorado. This could eventually lead the two allies in the direction of clashes.

DeSantis and his political team quickly executed speculation about any conflict between the governor and the former president.
Helen Aguirre Ferré, a former governor’s communications director, was forced to step down on Thursday by the Florida Republican executive director. against the report that he asked Trump and his team to cancel the rally in connection with the collapse of the governor’s office.
He said the governor “fully supports the rally” and that “the fact that there are disagreements between DeSantis and Trump is not entirely true.”

South Dakota Gov. Christie Noem announced this week that she is sending 50 National Guard troops from her state to Texas to help “ensure security” across her border.
