DeSantis 2024 banner flies above Palm Beach ahead of Trump announcement

"You lost again Donald! #DeSantis2024," the banner read.

It is highly expected that Trump will formally announce his run for president on Tuesday evening, after months of teasing that he most likely would.

The banner also comes as Trump has made a number of statements against DeSantis, who on Election Day won his reelection.

In a statement partially posted to Truth Social, Trump accused DeSantis of "playing games," and called him "Ron DeSanctimonous."

"Ron came to me in desperate shape in 2017—he was politically dead, losing in a landslide to a very good Agriculture Commissioner, Adam Putnam, who was loaded up with cash and great poll numbers. Ron had low approval, bad polls, and no money, but he said that if I would Endorse him, he could win," Trump said in his statement.

"I didn't know Adam so I said, 'Let's give it a shot, Ron.' When I Endorsed him, it was as though, to use a bad term, a nuclear weapon went off. Years later, they were the exact words that Adam Putnam used in describing Ron's Endorsement. He said, 'I went from having it made, with no competition, to immediately getting absolutely clobbered after your Endorsement.'"

"I then got Ron by the 'Star' of the Democrat Party, Andrew Gillum (who was later revealed to be a 'Crack Head'), by having two massive Rallies with tens of thousands of people at each one. I also fixed his campaign, which had completely fallen apart. I was all in for Ron, and he beat Gillum, but after the Race, when votes were being stolen by the corrupt Election process in Broward County, and Ron was going down ten thousand votes a day, along with now-Senator Rick Scott, I sent in the FBI and the U.S. Attorneys, and the ballot theft immediately ended, just prior to them running out of the votes necessary to win. I stopped his Election from being stolen..."

"And now, Ron DeSanctimonious is playing games! The Fake News asks him if he's going to run if President Trump runs, and he says, 'I'm only focused on the Governor's race, I'm not looking into the future.' Well, in terms of loyalty and class, that's really not the right answer."
