Speaking on the <em>Ruthless<\/em> podcast last week, DeSantis <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/desantis-dismisses-rumors-of-trump-tensions-after-booster-criticism-2022-1\">said<\/a> that reports of a feud between him and Trump are a media creation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think this is what the media does,\u201d DeSantis said. \u201cYou cannot fall for the bait. You know what they\u2019re trying to do, so just don\u2019t take it. Just keep on keeping on. We need everybody united for a big red wave in 2022. We\u2019ve gotta fight the left, and not only fight, but beat the left. And that\u2019s what we\u2019re doing in Florida.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The former president has thus far avoided criticizing Ron DeSantis publicly, opting for veiled criticism instead. During an interview with OAN last week, for instance, he bashed \u201cgutless\u201d politicians for not revealing their booster shot status. The comment was taken as a hit against the Florida governor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve had the booster. Many politicians \u2014 I watched a couple of politicians be interviewed and one of the questions was, \u2018Did you get the booster?\u2019 because they had the vaccine, and they\u2019re answering like, in other words, the answer is \u2018yes,\u2019 but they don\u2019t want to say it, because they\u2019re gutless,\u201d he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaite.com\/tv\/trump-rips-gutless-politicians-who-wont-say-if-theyve-had-vaccine-booster-say-it\/\">said<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former President Donald Trump has reportedly been bashing Florida Gov.
