speaking of polls trump wasn t too happy with his former press secretary kayleigh mcenany tuesday. he accused her of inflating desantis numbers during an appearance on something called the jerry watters show. writing kayleigh mick tows mcenany gave out the wrong numbers, i m 34 points up on desanctimonious not 25. while 25 is great it s not 34. the rhinos and capitalists can have her fox news should only use real stars. i know real stars? i ve been seaing that for years and they still won t hire chuck woolery. but, of course, that s trump. you love it or hate it, it s his persuasive strategy. you can get angry about it but i doubt kayleigh is so why should you. he runs on reciprocity. you say something good about him he returns the favor, you don t he will return that, too. it s fine but there is one flaw. he gives no break for time
ushered desantis. in donald trump may have been muddy with the facts on how he delivers the messages desantis coming to him and crying. can you go back and look at all the polls it. walls clear that desantis was going to lose big jump in a week of 30 points when donald trump supported him. it was good enough for him back then. we seal this though. i think it s a long race. no one has it in the bag right now. but it s going to be hard to go against trump base and i don t think desantis is. they don t want to see attacked unjustly obviously. they don t want trump attacking desantis. people are unsettled by it. that s when the president got blow back yesterday on a local iowa talk show about that why are you attacking him for these things? what do you mean florida is bad? everybody knows florida was great curing the pandemic and your whole family moved there. there seems to be attacks will legitimate and attacks that don t make any sense.
right? tom: right. you know why, i think, they fear him even more than trump because he s the continuation of maga. we have to continue the maga movement in this country and the voters nor it. they re never going back to that old p. but they think if they can maybe run against trump and defeat him again then they can put the whole thing behind them but desantis is the future and been knows that. greg: another great perspective from a white male. [laughter]. greg: emily i get bothered wiz trump bash people that worked hard for him but then i think that s part of his persuasive mechanism which is if you do something nice i give you a treat. if you don t it s like she didn t do anything really bad. what s your take on this? emily: kayleigh deserves only and the utmost respect and kindness and generosity from her current colleagues and from any former colleagues and any former employers. i want to talk for a bit about sonny hostin.
that see what he has done. you know, desantis talked about how trump is only attacking desantis. all the other candidates are also attacking desantis. i don t know necessary what that means they know it s a race to second to be right there behind trump and find a stated in the primary to jump ahead of him there is a lot of pressure on desantis and give him credit for putting his hat in this ring knowing that everyone is going to compare him to trump and trump has such a winning record as president. he also carries that banner. all the arrows in his back curly all the conservatives that say woke ideology and woke democrats attacking who we are as people. trump has been there and taking those arrows. doing his part as well. ainsley: $8.2 million. donors summit and miami this week. it shows a lot of enthusiasm. this is historic because it tops the previous record that was made by joe biden. in his first 24 hours after announcing in 2019 he raised 6.3
shapes up with his republican ri rivals, chiefly donald trump and joe biden. because ron desantis has been a distant second now for some time. i suppose he has less to lose, so he needs to go for stunts to make a splash. and twitter of course is what trump used to get elected. obviously facebook as well. but twitter. and stepping on to that seems to be a message to trump or sort of a challenge to trump. yeah, he doesn t want to shy away from a fight with donald trump. also i think twitter clearly works as a playbook to attract the republican base and donald trump is still at the moment using his platform truth social, so the space is wide open. trump and his allies have already spent $13 million attacking desantis on the airwaves. and now they are mocking the choice of venue.
