Whether he wants to admit it or not, Donald Trump is in campaign mode.
To this point, Donald Trump and Governor Ron DeSantis has been allies.
However, that may now be in jeopardy if we read between the lines of the recent Trump statement.
Gutless!
Trump has been pushing the vaccine hard as of late.
Governor Ron DeSantis was never anti-vaccine.
In fact, the Governor has taken the double jab himself, although it remains unclear if DeSantis has ever taken the booster jab.
DeSantis has played very coy on this front…
Fox Business’ Maria Bartiromo: “Have you gotten the booster?”

Interviews like that are what drew the ire of Trump.
Trump, without naming DeSantis, stated, “Many politicians — I watched a couple of politicians be interviewed, and one of the questions was, ‘Did you get the booster?’ because they had the vaccine, and the answer is ‘yes,’ but they’re not answering it.
“Because they’re gutless.
“You gotta say it, whether you had it or not.”
On his tour with Bill O’Reilly, Trump got booed himself regarding the vaccine…

Trump has always supported the vaccine, but this openly vocal challenge to his own party members is a bit new.
This could be the major “line in the sand” topic that makes or breaks the upcoming election.
More importantly, this could be an issue that alienates Trump from some of his allies.
