Pro-DeSantis PAC offers to pay for Trump to move out of Florida after he called it the 'worst state'

A super PAC supporting a potential White House bid from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Saturday it will financially support former President Donald Trump's move to California — just one day after the GOP 2024 front runner took aim at the Sunshine State's leadership and called it the "worst state."

"Donald Trump has so deeply disparaged the state of Florida by calling it the ‘worst state,’ we at Never Back Down will help him leave by offering financial assistance to help him move to his beloved California, so he can be close to his good buddy Gavin Newsom, whom he loves so intensely and gets along with so well," Never Back Down CEO Chris Jankowski said in a statement.

"The good news is that since so many people are moving to the state of Florida, thanks to the incredible success of Governor Ron DeSantis, no one will notice when Trump leaves," Jankowski added. "The state of Florida will be better off when Trump takes his Soros-fueled, dumpster fire of a campaign to San Francisco, where it will fit right in."

In a lengthy statement issued Friday, Trump, who chose to reside in Florida following his time in the White House, targeted DeSantis' leadership in the state and insisted that Florida "has become one of the least affordable states to live in the country."

Trump claimed, "Florida has become among the worst states" to "live, find economic opportunity, work, retire, raise a family, pay taxes, be safe, rent a home, have a baby, afford energy, die, be a teacher, be a doctor, [or] be a police officer."

Additionally, Trump claimed that Florida is not a good place for "millennials, working dads, [or] working moms."

Except Trump didn’t say it.

[Does so]

I can’t stand Florida, either. The heat, the humidity, the bugs, the snakes, the illegals, the hurricanes, the crowding, the alligators, and worst of all the arrogant New Yorkers.

The state would empty out if “Erfers” outlaw air conditioning.

I’m currently writing in a nice Florida breeze with low humidity at 79°.

I don't encounter any of those problems while I spend most of my time in my nice air-conditioned home watching TV on my 75 inch HD TV, and when I'm out and about, half the time is in my nice air-conditioned big SUV. New Yorkers? I used to be one of them.

I might even donate a dollar to that.

That’s because they haven’t met you yet. Once you start talking they’ll be running out of their homes like the place was on fire.

[qaz123]

Ok…..what?

You don’t agree with what the people are saying so the article is false?

[Bonemaker]

“..it will financially support former President Donald Trump’s move to California..”

Is there a place to donate? I’ve just about had it..the Don is shooting his wad and blowing off tons of goodwill.

[norwaypinesavage]

Trump should take them up on that, demanding equivalent accommodations on the Gulf Coast of Texas (and retain Mara Lago, too.

[simpson96]

Trump is crazy like a fox. This should be interesting.

[Baldwin77]

Does Trump even want to get the nomination?

Sometimes I wonder.

[kvanbrunt2]

First time i saw it so thanks for reposting.

[kvanbrunt2]

Trump should stop all these childish actions and name calling.>>> he can’t.. Read some of his comments to an old lady who owned a house near his casino in Atlantic city.

Home insurance $12,000. Palm beach county property tax $30,000. Regular gas $3.84. Sales tax 7%. Liberal dickheads from NYC and NJ free. Water bill $200-$300. FPL $150-$300. He’s not wrong on the expenses, with the biggest hunk is the egregious property tax

[lilypad]

It’s stil a great state but I see it slipping away. Tons of people moving here, prices are going outta sight. It was a great state when Rick Scott was governor. I wish RDS would please stop inviting everybody down here. Rick Scott left in fine shape for RDS. I just read on nextdoor where folks are starting to become discouraged by the price of stuff; gas, food, insurances, if you can find anyone to write you a policy. Oh and the crowds and traffic! Good grief.

[lilypad]

I was under the impression that RDS was moving the illegals out of the state.

STEP-1 - Candidate makes a sensible positive policy statement

Candidate takes one step forward

STEP-2 - Candidate makes unnecessary crazy remarks out of left field.

Candidate takes two steps backwards

STEP-3 - Candidate goes back to the beginning and repeats Steps 1, 2 and 3 ad infinitum

[dforest]

Uh huh

[Chgogal]

I don’t see one complete quote supposedly made by Trump. Freepers are suckers if they believe what MSM prints.

[Joann37]

I sure can’t figure him out. I thought with DeSantis‘s popularity rising and Trump’s loyal base, we’d have a president and VP for sure, and say goodbye to Biden or any other Democrat. But now that Trump is blowing up that idea, I think we might get stuck with Democrats again.

Another four years of the dems running things, and in the country will be destroyed for sure.

[JoJo354]

Then Trump once again picks the wrong people to hire. If his reps on the campaign trail says stuff like this...Trump hasn’t improved on the folks he associates with. As a Floridian...I am offended by the statements that came from him or his campaign.
