It begins: Donald Trump shares memes accusing Fl Gov Ron DeSantis of 'grooming' and pedophilia

The 2024 Republican primary has officially begun. In the mud.

I don't like Donald Trump or Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, so I am enjoying this. 

Political pundits and the like all agree that Trump and DeSantis may be the top two vying for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination and it looks like the competition is already starting. 

In the mud, that is.

Earlier Tuesday, Trump sent out the following message on Truth Social implying that DeSantis groomed underaged girls in the past:

The accusation of sexually grooming kids is bad enough but DeSantis being accused of it is rather stark, seeing that the Florida governor has exploited the narrative of  "child grooming" to make several legislatives moves against the state's LGBTQ community. Specifically was last year's "Don't Say Gay" law. To me it's comical that a distortion tactic which served DeSantis well in the past is now being used against him. 

While DeSantis hasn't commented on Trump's move, others on the right aren't so quiet. They are accusing Trump of "grooming."

This is  disgusting, vile, and a total blight on the integrity of our political system. It's shamefully disgusting and completely degrading.

And I hope it continues. These two jerks were made for each other.

We all know how vile Trump is and how subtle DeSantis tries to be. Maybe if we're lucky, they will wreck each other like the Gingham Dog and the Calico Cat in that poem I remember so well from my childhood.
