Ron DeSanctimonious is running—without running! He’s doing this to subvert Election Law. Run Ron, Run! Others have done it before, though, so I can’t really blame him—But he should take a look at his Polls, which are crashing like few people have seen before. That’s because he’s merely an average REPUBLICAN Governor who has great Public Relations, far better than deserved. When you look at the Florida #’s compared to other States, you will not be impressed—I will release them later in the day!

Fact Checks (3)

"DeSantis is running without running to subvert Election Law"

Half True

DeSantis had not formally declared but was clearly preparing a 2024 run. Whether this 'subverts' election law is a matter of interpretation — candidates commonly delay formal announcements, and this is a gray area rather than a clear violation.

"DeSantis's polls are 'crashing like few people have seen before'"

Mostly True

DeSantis did decline significantly from his late-2022 peak polling (~30-35%) but remained Trump's strongest challenger. 'Like few people have seen before' is characteristic hyperbole.

"DeSantis is merely an average Republican Governor"

Mostly False

DeSantis won reelection by 19.4 points in 2022, flipping Miami-Dade County — one of the strongest Republican gubernatorial performances in Florida history.

Psychological Analysis: Anti-DeSantis Attack Post (March 22, 2023)

Context

This post is part of a sustained assault on Ron DeSantis, who had just broken his silence on the Trump hush money case by joking about "paying hush money to a porn star" in a Piers Morgan interview. This is a direct retaliatory strike.

Authorship

Posted at 2:12 PM ET (Trump was at Mar-a-Lago during this period). Business hours, but the stream-of-consciousness style, emotional reactivity, em-dash interruptions, nickname usage ("DeSanctimonious"), and characteristic rhetorical patterns (teasing future data release) are strongly authentic Trump. The impulsive quality and personal grievance tone confirm this.

Psychological Dynamics

The post is triggered by narcissistic injury — DeSantis's Piers Morgan comments constituted public mockery. Trump responds with a multi-pronged devaluation: DeSantis is "merely average," his success is due to "Public Relations" (implying it's unearned), and his polls are "crashing." The promise to release damaging Florida statistics later functions as a dominance display — the implied threat of more to come.

The parenthetical "I put him there" from the previous post and the patronizing "Run Ron, Run!" both assert hierarchical superiority — DeSantis exists only because Trump allowed it.

Rhetorical Structure

The post follows a classic Trump attack sequence: nickname → accusation of rule-breaking → false magnanimity ("I can't really blame him") → devastating reframe ("merely average") → promise of future evidence. The false magnanimity is a sophisticated dominance move — granting permission implies authority over the target.

Defense Mechanisms

Devaluation is primary. The claim that DeSantis has "great Public Relations, far better than deserved" splits DeSantis's image from his substance, attributing any success to artifice rather than competence — a projection, given Trump's own media mastery.
