In a new advertisement released on April 23, 2023, former President Donald Trump’s endorsement of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis during his 2018 campaign was brought to the forefront. The 60-second spot serves as a reminder of how dependent DeSantis was on the former President’s pivotal endorsement when he ran against Adam Putnam in the Republican Gubernatorial Primary.
The advertisement’s narrator notes that DeSantis was “struggling big time” against the former Agriculture Commissioner, “failing so bad he was losing by a staggering 17 points.” Then, Trump’s endorsement “saved” the then-Congressman. Within two days of the endorsement, DeSantis “took a commanding lead and it propelled him to being elected Governor.”
DeSantis’ voice cuts in at the 27-second mark, offering a thank you to Trump “for standing by me when it wasn’t necessarily the smart thing to do.” The phrase is laden with irony that no one saw then, of course. The advertisement highlights that instead of being grateful, DeSantis is now attacking the very man who saved his career. The narrator resumes, “Isn’t it time DeSantis remembers how he got to where he is?”

Maybe desantis should sit this one out
Hopefully Desantis doesn’t run, or loses to Trump. He can’t be governer for more than two terms. So he won’t be governer in 2028 and hopefully that will mean that he won’t be in a position of power, won’t win the primary, and will never be President. Based on his record in Florida, especially his covid authoritarian streak masked as “pro freedom,” I think that he would be one of the most divisive presidents in US history.
I like this ad because it doesn’t beat around the bush, this is really the problem with him.
He told Hannity the other day that he did nothing to start getting attacked by Trump other than doing a good job. What a lie! he knows very well it’s because he kept saying he might run!
He’s not going to run. There’s a law in Florida that he would have to resign as governor in order to run. For him to resign to only subsequently lose to Trump would end his career.
Desantis said that he would have fired Fauci “the little elf” but look what how dishonest his own top doc was…
“Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo personally altered a state-driven study about Covid-19 vaccines last year to suggest that some doses pose a significantly higher health risk for young men than had been established by the broader medical community, according to a newly obtained document.
Ladapo’s changes, released as part of a public records request, presented the risks of cardiac death to be more severe than previous versions of the study. He later used the final document in October to bolster disputed claims that Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines were dangerous to young men”.

“There is only one person who can make American great again.”
And many believe its NOT someone who has been indicted for misstating hush money payments to a woman with whom he was having am inappropriate relationships witj while married to his wife and is simultaneously the subject of a civil trial in relation to his alleged rape and defamation of another woman. America can do better.
