America is worth the fight... Every. Single. Time. pic.twitter.com/lWNQ3DIXgp— Casey DeSantis (@CaseyDeSantis) May 23, 2023

Imagine the mud slinging that’s about to take place between Trump and him. The dems will set back and watch the fireworks. Will DeSantis blame Trump for the vaccine and start showing the statistics on national TV. Will the deep state allow him to do that.

Ronald Herbert Walker DeSantis is nothing more than another Uniparty “Not Trump” candidate.

Like it or not, Trump is the only hope of stopping the Uniparty “Death to America” cult.

Anything else will be more of the same.

"They call it faith because in the face of darkness you can see that brighter future. A faith that our best days lay ahead of us. But is it worth the fight? Do I have the courage? Is it worth the sacrifice? America has been worth it every single time," the ad says as DeSantis appears readying himself to take the stage."

Aaaaaaahahahahaazzzzzzzzzz.

Contrast and compare with President Trump. And if you're a Ronlim, weep and gnash your teeth, because President Trump is scattering his enemies, driving them before you...the Meatball is pissing away his 2028 shot...

"Wow. Whoa. This is some group of people. Thousands.

So nice, thank you very much. That’s really nice. Thank you. It’s great to be at Trump Tower. It’s great to be in a wonderful city, New York. And it’s an honor to have everybody here. This is beyond anybody’s expectations.

And, I can tell, some of the candidates, they went in, but they didn’t know their air conditioners didn’t work. They sweated like dogs.

They didn’t know the room (they rented) was too big, because they didn’t have anybody there. How are they going to beat ISIS? I don’t think it’s gonna happen.

Our country is in serious trouble. We don’t have victories anymore. We used to have victories, but we don’t have them. When was the last time anybody saw us beating, let’s say, China in a trade deal? They kill us. I beat China all the time. All the time.

When did we beat Japan at anything? They send their cars over by the millions, and what do we do? When was the last time you saw a Chevrolet in Tokyo? It doesn’t exist, folks. They beat us all the time.

When do we beat Mexico at the border? They’re laughing at us, at our stupidity. And now they are beating us economically. They are not our friend, believe me. But they’re killing us economically.

The U.S. has become a dumping ground for everybody else’s problems.

Thank you. It’s true, and these are the best and the finest. When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.

But I speak to border guards and they tell us what we’re getting. And it only makes common sense. It only makes common sense. They’re not sending us the right people.

I said it very strongly, years ago, I said— and I love the military, and I want to have the strongest military that we’ve ever had, and we need it more now than ever. But I said, “Don’t hit Iraq,” because you’re going to totally destabilize the Middle East. Iran is going to take over the Middle East, Iran and somebody else will get the oil, and it turned out that Iran is now taking over Iraq. Think of it. Iran is taking over Iraq, and they’re taking it over big league.

We spent $2 trillion in Iraq, $2 trillion. We lost thousands of lives, thousands in Iraq. We have wounded soldiers, who I love, I love — they’re great — all over the place, thousands and thousands of wounded soldiers.

And we have nothing. We can’t even go there. We have nothing. And every time we give Iraq equipment, the first time a bullet goes off in the air, they leave it.

Last week, I read 2,300 Humvees— these are big vehicles— were left behind for the enemy. 2,000? You would say maybe two, maybe four? 2,300 sophisticated vehicles, they ran, and the enemy took them. (Ed. note: Just. Like. Afghanistan.)

Last quarter, it was just announced our gross domestic product— a sign of strength, right? But not for us. It was below zero. Whoever heard of this? It’s never below zero."

No Ron, it isn’t courage but pure selfishness that is making you run. If you had an ounce of decency you wouldn’t do it.

The NAACP warning to blacks to stay out of Florida is a warmup attack by the crazy Left for what will be a never-ending stream of slander that is about to descend on Santos as he enters the race.

For all those here on Free Republic who have been lamenting Trump’s attacks on DeSantis these past few months, because they claim it will only serve to split the Republican party, what are your thoughts now, on the eve of DeSantis’s announcement?

Are we going to hear from you how divisive it is for DeSantis to be challenging Trump, a man whose anti-globalist, MAGA world view he claims to share? When this contest becomes increasingly nasty, will you ask DeSantis why he felt it necessary to enter a race that already had a MAGA candidate, rather than endorsing that candidate?

Here's the short version of it:

Is that the late Kim Clement in the video?
