Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said Thursday that he disagreed with then-President Trump’s decision to shut down the economy at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.
DeSantis appeared on conservative podcast Ruthless, where he claimed that one of his biggest regrets in office is not speaking out “much louder” against the initial COVID-19 shutdown in March 2020.

South Dakota has hardly any people. She had the easiest time of any governor.
Both of them need to stop right there! The mediapukes are salivating at the thought of a Trump and DeSantis division to distract from the complete an outer destruction of Brandon’s administration! Please Mr. President and governor do not give them the satisfaction! Please please please! Do not force the base to take sides between you and the governor! This would be disastrous for the base and for the upcoming 2022 election!
Hindsight is 20/20. I don’t fault Trump for anything he did.
I said at the time POTUS was getting rolled by his advisors. Still believe he was (still is) the best President of my lifetime. Extremely grateful DeSantis is my governor also.
F that. Trump started this by calling out DeSantis for no reason. Trump is petrified of DeSantis. Probably should be.
Exactly. Florida is the most diverse State in the country.
“Didn’t Trump say that it was up to the States but they wanted to lock down or not?”
Yes he did. I agreed because not every state is the same. Of course the Democrat governors went nuts.
Florida reopened may 1st. We shut down April 1st. 30 days was it.
I just wish he would stop the DeSantis bashing. Yep he started it. I don’t know why trump has a need to bash people all the time especially those on his side.
He seems to have a blind spot
Many of his appointments were bad.
Some say he didn’t have much choice.
Not sure was Pence a compromise with Bush/GOPe?
And then he gets behind a RINO in elections?
The same Kristi Noem who refused to oppose the NCAA's decision to allow men to participate in women's sports?...LOL!
DeSantis wasn’t paying proper tribute to Trump and the greatest achievement in mankind.
Not proudly declaring you got another safe and effective booster (sponsored by Phizer) is a clear sign of disrespect to Trump and everything he did to bring the vaccine in warp speed time. Trump is a counter-puncher.

You and your lies.
Yours is a very interesting post. The whole thing could be a psy op to destroyTrump politically. Incredible that our institutions are so corrupt that something like this is believeble.
Maybe so, but that's not relevant at all to this topic. What IS relevant is two-fold:
1. DeSantis should simply explain his decision and stand by it instead of fumbling around and making excuses two years later.
2. Blaming someone else for the decision he made makes him look like a feckless loser who has no credibility to lead anyone.
I would advise anyone supporting DeSantis for higher office to prepare themselves to be disappointed. He's a political hack and will be tagged here on FR as George W. DeSantis within his first 18 months in office.
Why are you changing the subject?
You brought up Kristi Noem, not me. Why?
I brought her up to show how bad DeSantis looks by pretending to be something he’s not.
