Ron DeSantis (R) took his most wide-ranging shots at former President Trump in an interview this week with Fox <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a>\u2019s Pier Morgan, criticizing Trump\u2019s leadership style and character as they prepare for a possible collision course on the White House primary field.<\/p>\n<p>Until now, DeSantis has remained coy on Trump as he mulls an expected entry into the 2024 presidential race. But Trump has gone on the offensive against the Florida governor, crowning him with the nickname \u201cRon DeSanctimonious.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr1_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know how to spell the sanctimonious one,\u201d DeSantis said in the interview with Morgan, which was detailed in the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2023\/03\/21\/ron-desantis-opens-fire-on-trumps-character-chaotic-style\/\">New York Post<\/a>. \u201cI don\u2019t really know what it means, but I kinda like it, it\u2019s long, it\u2019s got a lot of vowels. We\u2019ll go with that, that\u2019s fine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cI mean, you can call me whatever you want, just as long as you also call me a winner, because that\u2019s what we\u2019ve been able to do in Florida, is put a lot of points on the board and really take this state to the next level.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But DeSantis said the name-calling on <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social media<\/a> was \u201cbackground noise\u201d to him, shaking off Trump\u2019s patented confrontational style with opposing candidates.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not important for me to be fighting with people on social media,\u201d DeSantis said. \u201cIt\u2019s not accomplishing anything for the people I represent. So, we really just focus on knocking out victories, day after day, and if I got involved in all the undertow, I would not be able to be an effective governor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While other declared and potential Republican candidates for president, such as South Carolina\u2019s former Gov. Nikki Haley and current Sen. Tim Scott, have largely dodged questions about what separates them from Trump, DeSantis, who is seen as the main rival to the former president for the GOP nomination, pointed to Trump\u2019s leadership style as a difference between the two.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI also think just in terms of my <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roach to leadership, I get personnel in the government who have the agenda of the people and share our agenda,\u201d he said. \u201cYou bring your own agenda in, you\u2019re gone. We\u2019re just not gonna have that. So, the way we run the government, I think, is no daily drama, focus on the big picture and put points on the board.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>DeSantis also said that he would have handled the COVID-19 pandemic differently, arguing he \u201cwould have fired\u201d former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease Director Anthony Fauci, who was one of the Trump administration\u2019s most prominent voices on the virus and frequently split from the president on the need for more aggressive health measures to prevent the spread of the disease.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis also reflected on his past rosy relationship with Trump. The former president helped DeSantis rise in stature politically, endorsing him in his 2018 bid to become Florida governor. DeSantis said Trump \u201cchanged his tune\u201d when he won reelection overwhelmingly last year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe major thing that\u2019s happened that\u2019s changed his tune was my reelection victory,\u201d he said, arguing that Republicans should not be in competition with each other but instead wishing for the success of other GOP officials.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cI want other Republicans to do well,\u201d DeSantis said. \u201cI want them to eclipse me. We\u2019re setting a great standard in Florida, have everyone up their <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The back-and-forth between Trump and DeSantis heated up earlier this week, when the governor was asked to weigh on potential charges against the former president coming down in New York over his 2016 hush money payment to Stormy Daniels. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know what goes into paying hush money to a porn star to secure silence over some type of alleged affair. I just \u2014 I can\u2019t speak to that,\u201d DeSantis said Monday. <\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr4_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Trump responded angrily on his Truth Social platform: \u201cRon DeSanctimonious will probably find out about FALSE ACCUSATIONS &amp; FAKE STORIES sometime in the future, as he gets older, wiser, and better known.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2023 Nexstar Media Inc.
