Donald Trump reacted to a new University of New Hampshire Survey Center poll that was published by Fox News, showing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis holding a double-digit lead in New Hampshire over the former President in a hypothetical 2024 GOP presidential nomination matchup in the state.
The poll was released two days before Trump heads to New Hampshire to give a keynote address at the state Republican Party's annual meeting.
DeSantis stands at 42% support in the survey of likely Republican presidential primary voters in New Hampshire, with Trump at only 30%. So, of course, Trump took to his Truth Social platform to lash out at Fox News for publishing the poll results.
"FoxFakeNews is terrible! Anything bad for "Trump" they go with, even if not true," he wrote. "They refuse to show the major polls that have me leading all Republicans in a landslide, and beating Hopeless Joe Biden by a lot."
"Nobody else has numbers like this, and it's driving them, together with their friends at Club For No Growth, Paul Ryan, Karl Rove, and the RINO Class, CRAZY," he added. 'It's 2016 all over again, even though I did better in 2020, by a LOT. FoxFakeNews is not with me, and I'm not with them! "TRUTH."'
DeSantis has not thrown his 2024 hat in the ring yet, but he seems to be the most formidable Republican to challenge Lumpy. And the Florida governor is likely waiting to see how Trump holds up against the mountain of legal issues he's facing.
Trump is going to stroke out if he keeps this up. Let's hope he keeps it up.
