Former President Trump blasted the New York Post, one of the nation’s top tabloid newspapers, after it published an extensive profile of possible 2024 White House candidate Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) over the weekend.

The profile, which contained a headline quoting a top DeSantis talking point — “people don’t want an agenda shoved down their throats” — and featured photos of the governor fishing and playing baseball in young, triggered an angry social media post from the former president and 2024 White House hopeful on Sunday.

“In writer Salena Zito’s Fake News “puff piece” about DeSantis, which allegedly appeared in the dying New York Post, which is low in readers like FoxNews is very low in Ratings, why didn’t she mention that he wants to cut Social Security and Medicare, loves losers like Jeb Bush, Paul Ryan, and Karl Rove, and it’s getting me CLOBBERED in the polls,” Trump wrote Sunday on Truth Social. ” DeSantis is a RINO trying to hide his past. I don’t read the New York Post anymore. It has become Fake News, just like Fox and WSJ!

The Post is one of a handful of right-of-center media outlets that have grown increasingly sour on Trump while embracing DeSantis in recent months, who is widely expected to make a bid for the Republican nomination for president in 2024.

The day after his landslide re-election win last year, the Post ran a front-page headline with a screaming headline declaring the Florida governor “DEFUTURE.”

When Trump announced his run for the White House in 2024 a few days later, the Post buried their story on his kickoff event inside its print edition with a smaller front headline that read “Florida man makes announcement .”
