President Trump just called Ron DeSantis a globalist. He’s 100% right. Here’s a long thread with everything i know so far to validate his point.

1. War

DeSantis said Trump wasn’t tough enough on Russia and advocated for more lethal aid to Ukraine.

He also voted to sanction Iran, Russia and North Korea while Trump opposed it. Earlier he wrote a joint letter to John Kerry, asking him to force Ukraine to join EU to fight against Russia. His former press secretary is a foreign agent who worked for a Zelensky official.

He seemed to support a regime change in Venezuela. Called the current regime illegitimate and wanted a “free Venezuela”.

He also supported the unending war in Afghanistan, called to use everything in our arsenal.

Not to mention his best friend Kent Stermon, who was the COO of Total Military Management. DeSantis lived in his condo when he was in congress. And of course in return, he appointed him on board after he became the governor, just like he did to other lobbyists.

"Probably one of the Bushes made sure their future Manchurian candidate got it."

LOL! More than likely. Must have been a good year for Bronze Stars. Get deployed to a war zone, sit behind a desk and do you job....automatic Bronze Star. It kind of cheapens the award when people who simply showed up for work, gets the same medal as someone who actually faced the enemy in combat.

You have no clue what he thinks or what I think.

Of course I do, you have spent sufficient time polluting this thread with nonsense for anyone to figure out what you are thinking.

Sure I believe there was fraud but it’s hard as hell to prove anything in a court of law at this point.

Especially if the courts ignore clear evidence as you seem intent on doing there will be no court ruling you will accept. I suspect you wouldn't accept a court ruling ng that said the election was stolen either.

Time to move on, neither of us can affect the outcome in any case.

“I live in New York State. I don't know where you live, but if you don't live in Florida, then you have no idea how Floridians who voted for DeSantis feel right now. I'm betting they feel betrayed.”

You have said you will never vote for DeSantis; understandable knowing the high standards that New York voters require of their candidates.

Now, about how DeSantis voters and Trump voters feel about each in Florida near the end of May: a recent poll shows them tied in the presidential primary.

Bronze stars, without the V device, have become officer’s participation medals. They are for meritorious service.

I don’t mean to denigrate those issued for valor or other true meritorious performance. I just know too many who have two or three—one for each deployment, mostly for jobs that never encountered an enemy beyond food poisoning.

Seriously, do you think he would have it any easier with indictments and a democrat Congress hanging around his lame duck neck?

Trump is likely to get the nomination. But won’t be able to govern.

You didn't read the article you posted.

It clearly acknowledges that DeSantis deployed with the SEALS.

See the link in Post #54. According to that link, DeSantis’ Bronze Star DOES have a “V” device for valor. I suspect that information is incorrect.

Ron DeSantis was a JAG lawyer in the military. I have no idea what “deploying with the SEALS” means, in that context.

Read with comprehension. He worked to protect rights of the enemy. He also acted as defense council at Guantanamo and prosecuted our side for violations of “detainees” during interrogation.

“His position was Legal Advisor to the U.S. Navy SEAL Commander, Special Operations Task Force-West.

DeSantis played an advisory role to the commander in support of the SEAL mission in Fallujah, Ramadi, and the remaining area of Al Anbar province.

As a Navy attorney, DeSantis served as senior legal advisor and close counsel to SEAL team captain Dane Thorleifson.

In this capacity, DeSantis oversaw the treatment of detainees to ensure humane conduct toward them while in Iraq.

It is reported that he worked to protect the rights of approximately 100 detainees during this time.

In addition, he monitored the missions of Navy SEALs and Army Green Berets in his jurisdiction to ensure they followed and adhered to the rule of law.

This monitoring included making sure that interrogations followed the rules of the U.S. military and the Geneva Conventions.

Military records substantiate DeSantis’s duties in Iraq and the Arabian Peninsula during 2007 and part of 2008, described as follows:

Special operations
Special reconnaissance
Intelligence operations
Foreign internal defense operations
Therefore, though Ron DeSantis was not a Navy SEAL himself, he did play a role as legal advisor to SEAL Captain Dane Thorleifson, commander of Special Operations Task Force-West in Iraq.”

He deployed with SEALS to advise them on prisoner interrogation.

Again, it may be a poor tactic for the Trump camp to belittle military service.

Deploying lawyers with Navy SEALS is exactly what’s wrong with this country’s stupid military campaigns. That’s how you spend 20 freaking years in Afghanistan and then get kicked out of the country with your tail between your legs.

I didn’t see any specific reference to Trump belittling DeSantis’ military service, for what it’s worth.

That’s not something he could get away with in a state like FL. Wishful thinking from Trumpsters who are used to being lied to.

I don’t think “Trumpsters” have anything to do with it. It looks like a third party resource that simply doesn’t do a good job of verifying the information that gets reported there.

It *is* a poor tactic.

DeSantis volunteered to serve and did so. President Trump did not volunteer.

Given that, it's best for Trump associates to not even bring up the service of DeSantis.

Yes, and he did it while deployed to Fallujah with SEAL Team 1, where he earned a Bronze Star.

Your comment reveals that you really don’t understand what globalism is. Globalism doesn’t refer to trade with other countries. It refers to an ideology that seeks to make nation states subservient to “global” interests, via elitist controlled globalist institutions. Globalists put the interests of their own agenda over the interests of individual nations. Globalists do believe in free trade but they don’t believe in fair trade.
