'Among the worst states': Trump campaign takes aim at DeSantis with a critical opinion of his state
Former President Donald Trump's presidential campaign team took aim at Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) and criticized him for his lacking leadership in the Sunshine State.
According to HuffPost, Trump's campaign staffer Steven Cheung slammed the Republican governor on the same day Trump participated in a campaign rally in Fort Meyers, Fla. Cheung offered a brutal assessment of DeSantis' leadership describing it as "one of misery and despair."
“The real DeSantis record is one of misery and despair,” Cheung said in an email.

“He has left a wake of destruction all across Florida and people are hurting because he has spent more time playing public relations games instead of actually doing the hard-work needed to improve the lives of the people he represents,” he said.
The campaign's message targeting DeSantis was titled, “The Real Ron DeSantis Playbook."
In fact, the message also criticized the state, as a whole. Trump's team argues that under DeSantis' leadership, the state has become one of "the worst."
“Under Ron DeSantis, Florida has become among the worst states… to live… find economic opportunity… work… retire… raise a family… pay taxes…be safe… rent a home… have a baby… afford energy… die… be a teacher… be a doctor… be a police officer... for millennials... for working dads [and] for working moms,” the email read.
The attack came as Trump made his way around the state on Friday, April 21. The former president, who spoke at a Republican dinner on Friday evening, continued his rhetoric with more talking points chastising the governor.
