Trump takes aim at DeSantis, vows to "destroy the deep state"
With his first arrest looming, the disgraced ex-president vowed to destroy his imaginary persecutors in the “deep state” during a campaign pep rally Saturday and took several pot shots at Florida Gov. and autocrat-in-training Ron DeSantis.

Ted Nugent calls Ukrainian President Zelenskyy a "homosexual weirdo" in Trump pep rally tirade
The disgraced ex-president held one of his signature pep rallies in Waco, Texas, on Saturday, and for some reason, Ted Nugent showed up with his dumb guitar and even dumber ideas, ranting about abortion, military aid, the war in Ukraine, and "jack-booted thugs" in Washington, DC wrongfully imprisoning Jan. 6 insurrectionists.
