President Trump is known for his heavy hits against his rivals and now he has officially made Governor Ron DeSantis one of them.
Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform:
“That’s not Ron, is it? He would never do such a thing!”
The post linked to a digital image of a young man with a bowl haircut who appears to be DeSantis surrounded by three very young women.

Rumors have swirled online that this photo shows DeSantis with his underage students when he was a teacher at Darlington School in Rome, Georgia in 2001.
Trump then re-posted a message by Dong-Chan Lee saying:
“Ron DeSantis was having a “drink” party with his students when he was a high school teacher. Having drinks with underage girls and cuddling with them certainly look pretty gross and ephebophiliaesque.”
The term meaning adults who are attracted to minors between 15-18 years old.
To which Don replied “No way?”.
Even the New York Times has previously mentioned the photo in an article where they neither confirmed or denied it being legitimate.
The NYT stated:
‘Two former students, both women, remembered him attending at least two parties where alcohol was served, but they said that the parties took place after graduation and that they were not bothered by his presence at the time, although they question it now.’
DeSantis’ team has been secretly paying “influencers” and media outlets to bash Trump for months.
