Gov. Ron DeSantis to Newsmax: Forget Trump Ticket, I'm 'an Executive Guy'
Newsmax ^ | Thursday, 23 March 2023 08:55 PM EDT | Eric Mack |

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is not making any presidential campaign announcements before the end of his state's legislative session, but he is sure talking like he will be throwing his hat in the 2024 GOP presidential primary race.

And, he told Newsmax in an exclusive interview Thursday night, you can forget about him working with former President Donald Trump.

"I think I'm probably more of an executive guy," DeSantis told "Eric Bolling The Balance." "I think that you want to be able to do things. That's part of the reason I got into this job is because we have action.

"We're able to make things happen, and I think that's probably what I am best suited for."

Host Eric Bolling asked, since DeSantis has yet to announce — current Florida law would force him to step down as governor if he did — would he entertain an invitation from a prospective GOP-nominee Trump to be his vice president?

He laughed it off with the response above.

That’s the biggest fact. Trump had more votes than anyone in history, even Obama. Biden beat him from his basement with 81 million. Just not possible, yet that’s how they were counted. Unless something changes in the next two years, it will not matter who runs. It will be another deep state installation.

“Dangerous? How so? “

He created an unneeded, dreadfully ineffective and deadly poison. Which has killed thousands and harmed millions of innocent Americans.

For votes.

America First turned out to be his hit list.

His admin created so much false fear that the dumb idea of a fake vax was popular at the time. He is a populist politician. So America and the world suffer for his unquenchable lust for power.

I agree he did some good things too. Just like the first 2 Bushes.

That does not excuse the horrific failure. As Donald J Bush himself pointed out regarding Bush II.

Ronnie seems like an OK guy, but mark my words after a few rounds with President Trump his name will be DeSanus.

I read the last part of the headline as “I’m an Executive Gay”...

I’m somewhat relieved to find that I merely misread it.

I’ve got it
I’ll be sullen and withdrawn
I’ll dwindle off into the twilight realm
Of my own secret thoughts
I’ll lay on my back here ‘til dawn
In a semi-catatonic state
And dream of guitar notes
That would irritate
An executive kinda guy

I never claimed Trump was ever anything remotely similar to Ronald Reagan.

Maybe you have a reading comprehension problem?

What a joke. The poison was ready and waiting. The globalists had the disease and the poison waiting and deployed them. Trump was manipulated by the crisis they created. He did a great job with logistics and resisted acting outside his lane, leaving the States in charge. Instead of knives you should be throwing bouquets that he was able to prevent the totalitarian state they were trying to create and that he alerted Americans to the enemy within the gates.

Enjoy your shiny new toy that was made in Lobby Town……his rallies will look like Biden’s while he nests with the GOPe media and players.

Actually it is sad that he will destroy himself given time, he had potential.

By the way, many republican governors are passing the same legislation as FL because they have Republican legislators doing the work….just like FL. Check out Ohio passing the same laws with a RINO governor……but DeWine isn’t a shiny new toy…..or the chosen one to take out Trump (and ultimately MAGA).

DeSantis followers will be very disappointed at his performance once he hits the microphone….and his presidential ambitions won’t happen in 2028 because of his exposure in 2024. Sad really. He would have taken 2028 with little effort or exposure……he killed that opportunity because of ego and GOPe urging. Sad.

PS. If you think their isn’t dirt on DeSantis……well you’re not rational or paying attention. It is ready and waiting for every candidate except Trump, he’s had a full colonoscopy for 7 years by every demon in every government agency. There are no bombs left. You and others are being hoodwinked by our enemies.

"The poison was ready and waiting."

Try telling the Delicate Don that he did NOT create the SwampJab.

He STILL brags about it. He is not well or not honest.

He hasn’t even announced yet. Calm down it will be a long primary. Let it play out. No one is owed the Nomination.

Reagan didn’t have a spoiled two year old nipping at him day after day. Even Reagan would tell the doosh to shut his mouth.

You do have a reading comprehension problem. Try reading my post out loud slowly...Trump is not omniscient. He is just a man who fights hard for his Country & fellow Americans. The Deep State manipulated him...His instincts muted the damage. The plot had been developed over years and was deployed. It is ridiculous to pretend Trump should have known how many lies he was told by “authorities” to get him to buy a false narrative. He wanted a treatment not a “jab” but that avenue was closed down by the federal agencies and he had no other way to help the American people against what he was convinced (by liars) would kill millions of Americans. In that scenario no one would have done better despite the promotion of the “jab” which as a non physician he said was good.

Anyone who believed him was basically conned by the people who conned Trump and should have some humility. Don’t take advice from a non-physician the next time & do your own analysis. Trump spoked their wheels by refusing a mandate and saying each & every time that it was a personal choice to take or to avoid the “jab”.
