Former President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to offer another attack on Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R).

Trump posted an old photo allegedly depicting DeSantis partying with 20-year-old students. He captioned the post, “That’s not Ron, is it? He would never do such a thing!”

The women in the picture appear to be smiling with the now-governor while drinking from a brown glass.

Trump later reposted another account of the picture, this time from a user named Dong-Chan Lee.

“Ron DeSantis was having a “drink” party with his students when he was a high school teacher. Having drinks with underage girls and cuddling with them certainly look pretty gross and ephebophiliaesque,” Lee said. The term ephebophiliaesque refers to people who are predominantly attracted to younger people, particularly teenagers.

“No Way?” Trump responded with the reshare.

It is unknown whether the women were underage when the photo was taken. The drink inside of the glass also remains unclear.

The move to subtly dig DeSantis for sexual predation is an escalation for Trump.

DeSantis has led Trump in multiple polls for the 2024 Republican nominee for President.

Trump himself has been rocked by countless sexual misconduct allegations.

Trump, much like in 2016 and 2020, has turned to name-calling. He has called the Florida governor and former Trump supporter “Ron DeSanctimonious” numerous times on the campaign trail.
