I’m on deSantis side on this one. Disney has been exempt from regulatory oversight (don’t blame them) that all of the other businesses in Florida have to abide by.

DJT will ensure another Biden term.

DeSantis hasn’t said a word against Trump. Trump’s anxiety and insecurity over DeSantis are getting pathetic at this point.

[devere]

More trumped-up insults from desperate Donald. It’s sad and pathetic.

I want clean elections.

I want Trump as our nominee and to win.

This crap with DeSantis has to stop.

[heavy metal]

kinda wonder if the donald is suffering from side effects of “safe and effective”...

[Dilbert San Diego]

Why doesn’t Trump spend his time and energy attacking Biden and Democrats? What’s the point of these constant criticisms of an ally in the Republican Party?

[lee martell]

Deja Vu, all over again.

What the heck does Trump propose, that DeSantis actively harm Disney financially? A lot of voters work for them.

As of 2021, a staggering 75,000 employees work for Disney in Central Florida, more people than work anywhere else on the face of the Earth. When the park opened in 1971, that number was just 8,000.

I think Trump has ‘DeSantis Derangement Syndrome.’ He just can’t stop obsessing over the governor of Florida despite the fact he’s not even officially running for president as of today because it’s still frickin’ March.

Still trying to figure out why DeSantis appointed David Kerner, a liberal Democrat, as Executive Director of Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. Is it so Kerner now has access to state voter records 20 months in advance of the upcoming 2024 election?

and...

Kerner was very effective in the Florida legislature, sponsoring eleven bills that passed into law. He’s consistently led the Democratic opposition against several high-profile National Rifle Association pushed gun bills.

To all who are asking WHY? Oh, Why is President Trump doing this? Desantis should recognize this. He was in the Navy after all. It’s called Shots Across the Bow.

If what Ft. Lauderdale resident Roger Stone says is correct, Trump could be right on this…

Wow the $1M Disney gave @GovRonDeSantis paid off ! Desantis pre-election Disney rhetoric was phony hype. Disney maintained:
• exemption from property & sales tax
• tax-free bonds
• fast track permitting https://t.co/LE2AtbLAwe pic.twitter.com/l8eQnAyThR— Roger Stone (@RogerJStoneJr) March 12, 2023

Quote
In it, Foglesong claimed that Disney has maintained its exemption from property and sales tax and still enjoys fast-track permitting privileges. Per RSBN, HB 9B replaced the Reedy Creek Improvement District with a state-run board that would strip Disney of its control over the special tax district.

According to Foglesong, DeSantis’s politicized war with the House of Mouse has been skin-deep. He noted that when Orange County implemented a law-enforcement tax for property owners in unincorporated parts of their county, Disney was exempted from it.
......

So, it’s really a journalist digging into this and it being amplified by Trump.

I saw this quote in another article from this same Foglesong..

“Maybe down the road, [DeSantis] will be able to take another bite of the apple and take away powers and exemptions that the Disney company still has,” Foglesong said..

[Brilliant]

The tax exemption isn’t as big a deal as this piece suggests. They pay directly for their own public services. There is no need to tax themselves to pay for those services.

Trump continues to divide his base.
The enemy is California, not Florida.
