Liz Harrington is a prominent MAGA crackpot — she is Trump's spokeswoman — and Yoshi is a nearly anonymous MAGA crackpot. But they both make clear how the MAGA monarch is going to go after Ron DeSantis on dreaded covid vaccinations.
“This is a Classic. So much for Ron and anti-vax. Besides, he got the vaccine and booster, just doesn’t talk about it. He also closed up Florida, and its beaches.” - President Donald J. Trump https://t.co/YHZ5isi9lL

Harrington's retweeted post is Trump's reply to DeSantis having told Piers Morgan in a recent interview that his "approach to covid was different [from Trump's]. I would have fired somebody like Fauci." Never mind that DeSantis would have had no such presidential authority, as The NY Times had to point out.
(Would it be too much to ask that for once, just for a change, from George W to Donald to DeSantis, that the GOP have presidential candidates who know what in hell they're talking about?)
Late last year, Trump learned from one crowd's boos at his mention of having heroically gotten a covid booster shot that this is a topic he'd best leave off in the future. Better to let them drop like fumigated fruit flies than promote public health.
But he's still stuck — as he used to tell it — with also having heroically, single-handedly formulated the covid vaccine. So what to do? Thanks to a nobody MAGAite, he stumbled on the above, really juicy DeSantis clip. And so up on social media it went.
Get used to it, Ron. Cheap shots are Donald's specialty. Before long he'll have you apologizing for having saved thousands of Floridians' lives, before, that is, you started killing them.
