Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis isn't grateful enough for what President Donald Trump has done for him, the ex-leader has complained privately.
According to Axios, Trump is trashing DeSantis as an ingrate with a "dull personality." According to the one-term president, DeSantis has no chance of beating him in the 2024 race for president, sources who've spoken to Trump told the site.
DeSantis performed well in early straw polls, but only if Trump didn't win. If he went up against Trump in 2024, DeSantis flopped.
Axios noted that DeSantis through the first punch in the battle when he toldthe "Ruthless" podcast, his biggest regret in office was failing to be "much louder" in March 2020, when Trump told Americans to stay home during the early part of the pandemic.
His comments likely come more as a response to Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD), who attacked DeSantis last year for kowtowing into lockdowns. She said that her state, which has a population smaller than Jacksonville, Florida, never shut down, where Florida did briefly close along with the rest of the vast majority of the U.S.
Like Trump's attacks on previous candidates, Trump thinks that DeSantis is low energy.
"He says DeSantis has no personal charisma and has a dull personality," the source told Axios.
Another source, however, said that Trump's true anger comes from DeSantis refusing to say whether or not he'll run for president in 2024.
Fox host Lara Trump either has a new conspiracy theory, or she is very confused.
Hosting the 5 p.m. EST hour, Trump was ranting about Microsoft Word's Clippy and the suggested changes to words like "postman" into "letter carrier" and "mankind" into "humankind." It's part of the right's latest attack on "wokism," which they define as anything done in polite society that makes them uncomfortable.
"Someone is reading this?! And assessing what I'm writing?" Trump said, assuming that a person was actually watching and reading what she was typing in Word instead of an AI programed into what they call "office assistant." It was once named Clippy, and it was never a real person.
According to Trump, the "office assistant" is a lot like her fancy new car that doesn't require a key, just a push-button to start it. She said that the car wouldn't start if she didn't jingle the keys around. That's false. Push-button start cars use safety technology that requires your foot on the break, the car in park, and the key fob in the car with you. It's essentially a small low-frequency transmitter. So if the car won't start, it's likely that you need to replace the batteries.
According to Microsoft, the assistant doesn't have to be turned on.
“The checker can be turned on and off in a menu called 'Grammar & Refinements', which lists everything it checks: Age bias, Cultural bias, Ethnic slurs, Gender bias, Gender-Neutral Pronouns, Gender-Specific Language, Racial Bias, Sexual Orientation Bias and Socioeconomic Bias," said the statement.

"The Daily Show's" Jordan Klepper was at it again, asking MAGA fans questions during a rally for the insurrectionists in prison. After, Klepper went to Capitol Hill for a press conference by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) who spends a lot of time on cable news shows.
According to Klepper, Gaetz wasn't willing to answer his questions.
"You know, I'm shocked," said Klepper. "The guy usually likes cameras, and, in fact, I was catching up to him after a stunt he pulled just outside of the Capitol. And usually, he wants those cameras around. You'd expect there to be some follow-up questions. Sadly, he didn't get a chance to hear all my other thoughtful, well-researched inquiries. He was more interested in talking about the CIA and the FBI and the issues they had with Jan. 6. But, I don't know. If the world has any justice, perhaps Matt Gaetz will get his one-on-one time with the FBI soon."
Klepper was referencing a former girlfriend of Gaetz who testified to the grand jury that the congressman paid for sex with underage girls. That fact also prompted Klepper to ask Gaetz if he was attracted to childish things due to the grand jury testimony.
"Hey, Matt Gaetz, if you're going to reenact the events of Jan. 6 who is going to take a sh*t in the rotunda, and also who's going to make the gallows?" Klepper asked. "Isn't that a little bit childish or is that what attracts you to this?"
