PALM BEACH, FLORIDA: Former President Donald Trump has attacked GOP presidential rivals Ron DeSantis, Chris Christie, and Nikki Haley for having "no loyalty," per a report by RadarOnline.com.

With just ten days to the Iowa Caucus, Trump has been going all out on Truth Social, his social media platform, and has intensified his attacks on his top three Republican opponents for the presidential nomination.

During a campaign rally in Iowa, DeSantis challenged the former president on his inconsistent views on abortion restrictions.

The 81-year-old Republican frontrunner then attacked the Florida Governor, claiming that he lacked "zero personality."

What did Trump say in his Truth Social post on Friday?

"Ron DeSanctimonious has one minor flaw against the Democrats — He has ZERO personality," Trump posted on Friday. "If I didn’t endorse him, he would have finished, during the Primary, at 3%. NO LOYALTY!"

Trump continued his attack on the Florida governor, saying, "Bobblehead is now in third place, Jeff Roe has taken all of his money and quit, and he should get on a plane and go back to Florida today."



 

Trump targeted former New Jersey governor, Chris Christie, who has been vocal about the risks of re-electing the former president, while slamming DeSantis.

"He never told the people, during the Florida Governor campaign, that they would be abandoned. Just like Sloppy Chris Christie did to New Jersey (He finished up at an 8% approval rating!)," he noted in his scathing post.

Trump then proceeded to call Nikki Haley, the former United Nations ambassador under his administration, a “Birdbrain” in his Truth Social post.

"Birdbrain said, over and over again, that she would NEVER run against the President, “He was a GREAT President” - and then she ran. Two very unreliable and disloyal people! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" the ex-POTUS concluded.

Despite facing four indictments comprising a total of 91 criminal charges, former President Donald Trump has retained a formidable lead in the polls over other Republican contenders such as Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley, and Chris Christie.

According to a Real Clear Politics poll, Trump is currently leading in Iowa with a commanding 51%, while DeSantis and Haley lag behind with 18% and 16% respectively.

Christie, on the other hand, is trailing at a distant 3%, even behind the 38-year-old biotech entrepreneur, Vivek Ramaswamy.

Despite his continued dominance in the polls, some states have attempted to bar Trump from participating in their primary elections, citing his alleged role in the January 6 insurrection and invoking a constitutional insurrection clause.

In late December of 2023, the Colorado Supreme Court invoked Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment to remove the former president's name from the primary ballot.

Similarly, Maine's Secretary of State, Shenna Bellows, disqualified Trump from the state's primary ballot, leading to an appeal from Trump's legal team to the Supreme Court on Wednesday.

Internet cautions Trump on the old adage ‘Pride cometh before Fall’

People on X warned the former president to choose his language carefully, and that despite his impressive polling numbers, the election is still far away and that he might need to turn to either of these GOP primary candidates for their support to reclaim his seat in the Oval Office.



 

One X user remarked, “Mind your wordings. It might haunt you."



 

Another user said, "Just worry about Nikki The money is getting behind her not him."



 

Another user wrote, "Why did Trump endorse someone with no personality and no loyalty? Trump's frequent statements that someone was bad for the job he got them for or endorsed suggest he is a bad judge of who should work in the government."



 

One user quipped, "With all due respect Mr. President you could use a better speech writing staff. When I watch your rallys I feel as if I'm at a Knights of Columbus banquet."



 

Another X user remarked: "Once again, I remind you that name calling is not a presidential behavior. You don't like being called Poopy Pants or Stinky. Don't call others nasty names if you don't want to be called them. #TrumpStinks"



 

Finally, this user tweeted, "Cry me some more tears"
