Trump hits back at DeSantis following 'porn star' comments, warns the governor could find himself facing 'false accusations' in the future from 'underage' classmates or 'a man'

• Trump lashed out at DeSantis after the governor broke his silence on an expected indictment.

• He warned that DeSantis could face similar "fake" accusations of an affair as he becomes more well known.

• DeSantis had raised the salacious parts of the Manhattan investigation, including Trump's alleged affair with an adult film actress.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday took a dig at Donald Trump over his alleged affair with an adult film actress, after days of silence over the anticipated first-ever indictment of a former president.

In response, Trump hit back even harder.

Speaking through a Truth Social post on Monday, Trump predicted that DeSantis might face his own "false" allegations once voters get to know him better.

"Ron DeSanctimonious will probably find out about FALSE ACCUSATIONS & FAKE STORIES sometime in the future, as he gets older, wiser, and better known, when he's unfairly and illegally attacked by a woman, even classmates that are 'underage' (or possibly a man!)," Trump wrote. "I'm sure he will want to fight these misfits just like I do!"

DeSantis has not faced any accusations of having an affair or of being sexually involved with men or minors. At least 26 women have accused Trump of sexual misconduct; he has denied all the allegations.

In his Truth Social post Monday, issued just hours after DeSantis first threw a verbal punch, Trump shared a more than two-decade old photo of a 23-year-old DeSantis smiling between three women with blurred out faces, whose ages aren't clear. One of the females in the photos is holding a brown glass bottle.

The origin of the photo is Hill Reporter, a Democratic super PAC blog. The New York Times reported in November that the photo was taken after the 2001 to 2002 academic year that DeSantis spent as a teacher at the elite Darlington School before attending Harvard Law School.

Trump posted that same picture in February that had a caption on it that read, "Here is Ron DeSantimonious grooming high school girls with alcohol as a teacher," followed by the vomit emoji.
