Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis cut through the red tape to rescue Floridians stranded in Israel. What we didn’t know is that he’s also planning to pick up non-Floridian Americans, as well as those Joe Biden dumped in Greece.
“We knew there’d be people that wanted to get back, many hundreds, maybe even more than 1,000. And they were not getting any luck with the State Department or with the embassy. So I did an executive order last week, activating Florida emergency response to be able to bring planes in there and take people back home.”
“I had mothers that were stranded with three or four kids. I had one family with ten kids that they were trying to get back to Florida.”
He explained that the rescue flights were not limited to Floridians: “If there are people that are struggling to get to Georgia or New York or whatever, we’re all Americans, and we want to help people, but it is limited to Americans.”

So we have more flights coming. The next one will be [Tuesday] morning. We are taking people from Israel, but we’re also going to stop in Athens, Greece, to pick up people that the federal government may have stranded...”
“You can come across the southern border, and the federal government will fly you all across the country, free of charge. They’ll put you up in nice hotels at taxpayer expense. They’re not charging the illegal aliens.”
[Snip]
“We, of course, do have an interest in recovering the hostages that are American citizens… But ultimately, it’s Israel’s war. We should support them, but it’s not something we should get enmeshed in with our own ground troops.”

Oddly enough, Project Dynamo CEO has the most gracious and appreciative things to say about Governor DeSantis. You could learn something here. Or maybe you are too far gone down into the abyss.
Why do you people think I hate Trump? New flash, Sport. I am not a Never Trumper.
And on the flip side, nor do I worship him like you Angry Trumpers do.
I just find it amusing that when RDS upstages Trump as he has done here - you Angry Trumpers lose your s-t because Trump didn’t think of this first.
Trump doesn’t have tax payers money available at this time.
Spent $35,000,000/mo going fr 7/2 to 22/1 to be next POTUS-
while Trump is fighting off 935 felonies.
A good leader/conservative would’ve rallied around Trump and decried the lack of law and order not become unelectable in some sabotage Trump sham primary.
Reminder: Trump donated every single paycheck during his presidency.
“this is the first
time an American politician, a lawmaker, has ever met us…”
Cool, but what did big D actually do besides meet them?
The Project Dynamo CEO Bryan Stern is saying “Us”... They deserve the credit. Props to them.... I still say Big D is stealing their valor, riding their coat tails.... if he freed up money for them, then just says that... thats good. but claiming “WE did something” I call BS.
Trump isn’t in the office.
Trump doesn’t have tax payers money available at this time.

He’s a freaking billionaire, FFS!
And as you obviously don’t know... DeSantis used no tax payer money to rescue these US citizens.
So why didn’t Trump think of this first? Instead of grousing about Netanyahu and calling Hezbollah ‘smart’?
Trump (reportedly) is a billionaire....
Huh ? reportedly, Trump is being charged for Over Estimating his worth. you cant have both.
I find the mental gymnastics of supporting Ron now as if not more entertaining.
Until I remember the $1,000,000,000 blown on the sham primary that could’ve been used 1,000,000 other useful ways.
DeSantis is a liar. I don’t vote for liars. Before running for president, he wanted all the J-6 people locked up. Now he doesn’t because he’s running for president.
Heh heh heh.

What Trump did or did not do in this case does not change the facts of what the poster (to whom you replied) said.
***
Ron DeSantis is doing great things as a Chief Executive.
***
Ron DeSantis is not very good at campaigning; not at the national level.
Trump isn’t in the office.

Yeah? So that gave him the right to join with Biden and do nothing?
Trump could have and should have taken the initiative and used his own money to get these people out.
But as others have said.... This wasn’t his problem.
I have doubts about your assertion. In fact it might be illegal for Trump as a private citizen to attempt a rescue op. I will admit l do not know the law I this.
So you’re saying Trump has lied to us concerning his wealth?
All Righty Then.
....And as you obviously don’t know... DeSantis used no tax payer money to rescue these US citizens.
I’m trying to figure out what bid D actually did. What did he do besides meeting with the project thats doing the flights? You say he used no tax payer money. What the heck did he actually do? I obviously don’t know.
Otherwise, what's the frequency, Kenneth?
When you are sober tomorrow, call the Governor’s office and let us know what you learn. Tonight, however, you are repeating yourself over and over again.
Illegal?
Ross Perot financed the Iran Hostage Rescue Operation in 1980.
Imagine the goodwill Trump could have had if only he had thought of this first.
Disappointed you feel that way.
