Meet the Globalist Billionaires Behind the Presidential Ambitions of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is backed by many globalist billionaires at war against America First, and they will certainly be cashing in their favors if DeSantis decides to run for president.

A Twitter user, calling themselves Traditional Catholic, posted an informative thread about the people behind DeSantis. It is a who’s who of America Last financiers who see DeSantis as their vessel to derail Trump populism and return the GOP to the feeble politics of old.

“”60% of Ron DeSantis’ donations have come from donations of $50,000 or more. 54% of Donald Trump’s donations have come from donations of less than $200. Just 6% of these donations went to DeSantis. Ron DeSantis is backed by billionaires and the establishment,” Traditional Catholic wrote.

He highlighted venture capitalist Ken Griffin, who has given an incredible $5 million to DeSantis. Griffin is a fierce opponent of America First policies and does not like DeSantis’ populist moves as Florida governor. Still, Griffin thinks he can control DeSantis if he is able to defeat Trump and be the Republican presidential nominee in 2024.

WeatherTech founder David MacNeil also gave $800,000 to DeSantis, and his biggest issue is giving amnesty to illegal immigrants. He opposed Trump in 2020 because of Trump’s immigration patriot stance on stopping illegal immigration.

Wall Street hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones is a billionaire DeSantis backer who has given $1 million to the Florida governor. He is a close friend of convicted Democrat sex offender Harvey Weinstein and helped to fundraise for Barack Hussein Obama back in 2008.

Big League Politics reported on how DeSantis implemented authoritarian lockdown tyranny during the COVID-19 pandemic:

“A common trope from supporters of the likely presidential run of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is that he stopped COVID lockdowns in his state during the height of the pandemic while President Donald Trump was pushing them from the White House.

But the record shows that this is not what occurred. DeSantis used his authority as governor to enforce lockdowns, shuttering businesses, and use the power of the state to punish noncompliance with his edicts.

Video from June 2020 shows DeSantis threatening bars with revoking their liquor licenses unless they abided by his arbitrary restrictions enacted supposedly in the name of science:

For the folks who continue to insist that Florida was not locked down and, if it was, it was only for a couple weeks, here is @GovRonDeSantis in June of 2020 threatening Florida bars with losing their liquor licenses if they didn't follow pandemic restrictions. pic.twitter.com/CwyTuoIAkU

Additionally, pastors were arrested and thrown in jail because they held services during DeSantis’ lockdown. The DeSantis administration grotesquely infringed upon religious liberty and made a mockery of the 1st Amendment during the pandemic:

DeSantis, like Trump, has shilled hard for the experimental COVID-19 vaccines as well, assuring the public that they were safe for usage and would stop transmission when that turned out to be a lie.

“If you’re vaccinated and you test positive but you don’t get sick, well the name of the game is to keep people out of the hospital,” DeSantis said in July 2021. “Seventy-five percent of Floridians over the age of 50 have gotten shots, so we think that’s really, really positive.”

“If you are vaccinated, fully vaccinated, the chance of you getting seriously ill or dying from COVID is effectively zero,” he said. “If you look at the people that are being admitted to hospitals, over 95% of them are either not fully vaccinated or not vaccinated at all. And so these vaccines are saving lives. They are reducing mortality.”‘

There are too many problems with DeSantis for him to be the Republican presidential nominee in 2024. He needs to stay in Florida so Trump can remedy his unfinished business on a national level in 2024.

The fact that you disagree with my comments isn’t proof that I am a paid troll.

It’s entirely possible that you are a troll paid by the democrat party to ensure the nomination of Trump. Just like the democrat successful attempts to ensure the nomination of certain candidates whose views were considered to extreme to win a general election. Does that mean you’re a creep to avoid?

flaglady47 wrote: “Another example of FR taking a turn for the worse when it comes to clientele. Trump didn’t lose the 2020 election; it was stolen. And if you can’t figure that out, you really don’t want, to because you don’t like Trump and have an ax to grind. Just another anti-Trumper with a bad intention, like Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger whose mold you fit. Go post on DU where you belong.”

Despite numerious attempts, Trump was unable to prove fraud in the 2020 election. Continuation of those allegations only turns off the voteres needed to defeat Biden in 2024.

There are a considerable number of other Freepers who would prefer someone other than Trump. Are they here just to stir up trouble or do they have different, but credible, views as well?

You’re positing a classic “no true scotsman” informal fallacy. It would appear that you only consider anti-vaxxers and pure MAGA supporters as ‘logical freepers’. Can you show me the poll those logical thinking freepers?

BTW, I did enjoy my Friday night. It was our 33rd anniversary of my first date with my wife.

“Consider: who actually wants former President Donald Trump to run in 2024? Only about 35% of Americans, polls tell us, maybe 40%-50% of Republicans and nearly 100% of Democrats. Democrat candidates and party officials see The Donald as the gift that keeps on giving.”
