The office of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis acknowledged on Wednesday the state has in its possession a golf simulator that reportedly was given to the governor’s mansion by a wealthy political donor with close ties to the Republican governor.

The Washington Post and Reuters reported Wednesday that Mori Hosseini, a Florida developer and longtime GOP donor in the state, had lent a golf simulator to the governor’s mansion in 2019.

Asked about the reports, DeSantis spokesman Jeremy Redfern referred CNN to a statement he issued to the Post which did not dispute the source of the simulator.

DeSantis is against tariffs on China. I am never going to vote for a globalist.

————Missing records raise ethics concerns-——————

The Executive Office of the President did not submit information about gifts received by Trump and his family from foreign leaders in 2020, the department said.

Merrick Garland will see he is in Leavenworth Penitentiary for 35 years.

Witnesses will testify he is a known Republican and had filed papers to run for President.

I don’t really care about the golf simulator at the governor’s mansion. (Whatever the heck a golf simulator is).

What I DO care about is the obvious conclusion that can be drawn from CNN taking up this issue: DeSantis *will* be tested in the merciless, corrupt, white-hot crucible of the mainstream media.

President Donald Trump has withstood this testing — to the extreme! For SEVEN YEARS!!! — and PDJT shows NO sign of weakening or faltering under the stress.

I do not have any confidence that RdS won’t completely wither when he is subjected to the same. And he ABSOLUTELY WILL be subjected to this sort of attack. With this stupid issue the MSM tips its hand.

DeSantis is a puppet of his donor class. But that does not bother as much his saying he is against tariffs on China. That is a big blow to middle class manufacturing jobs in United States. I can NEVER VOTE for a globalist.

Golf Simulators are cool.

I saw a Golden Tee at some bar like 20 years ago.

Not a Desantis fan but this is pathetic.

What would someone said if a Candidate owned a Golf course ?

At least DeSantis doesn’t provide them with the ammunition.
