It was great to discuss relations between Florida and Italy with the Prime Minister today in Rome. We hope that Florida and Italy’s relationship continues to grow, and we welcome greater investment from Italian companies in our state.

Thank you for hosting us, Prime Minister… pic.twitter.com/i78wJgGjxN— Ron DeSantis (@GovRonDeSantis) November 12, 2024

“The governor is leading an 85-person delegation in a trade mission that has so far included stops in Rome, Viareggio and Florence, and will continue the rest of the week in Turin and Milan.”

...and then they wonder why we have such an “attitude” around here....

History is very clear—overconfidence and arrogance in a time of victory has never ended well.

Your jealousy is unbecoming ...

"The trade mission comes on the heels of an election that was largely seen as a victory for Republicans..."

Largely seen? It was an empirical ass beating of epic proportions. Anyone who describes it as anything other than that is a socialist shill.

We have some nice alligator and python leather to trade...

Hope DeSantis is alert to every possible way he can be charged with receiving undue favors. That leftist newspaper in Miami will latch onto the smallest sign of influence peddling.

Preface the article with the Miami Herald hates GOP in general and DeSantis and Trump in particular. That said, I had no idea we had that much trade with Italy. Interesting, the dem mayor of Jacksonville is back from her swing through London and Italy. Get back soon Ron, looks like another storm on the way.

A spokesperson for FloridaCommerce, which is helping coordinate the trade mission, did not directly address questions about the concert, but said on Tuesday that the trip is being privately funded through SelectFlorida, the state’s official international commerce organization. “The mission will provide many cultural and business-to-business networking opportunities for both Floridian and Italian companies to expand relationships, commerce, and trade,” the spokeswoman, Rose Hebert said

Leftists don’t like her much either. I think it was on her watch that Italy offered asylum to that kid the British were euthanizing.

Hopefully he’ll take rubios seat. Florida needs DeSantis badly. He’s been a complete success in Florida. He could have done to the United States what he’s done in Florida. But nope….

Hopefully he’ll take rubios seat.

That seems to be the career path of successful FL Governors.

[napscoordinator]

It’s a good one.

A fellow paesano wants to celebrate in a very Italian way after winning and that irks you?

The guy CRUSHED it in Florida over the last bunch of years.

E un uomo molto buono e un governatore ancora migliore. Spero che si diverta!!

Why go to the opera unless it’s Klingon?

[lee martell]

You don’t consider this Trade Mission a worthwhile expenditure?

[silverleaf]

He deserves a break.
Well done in delivering FL.

I don’t know the details of it.

I hope for all of our sakes that it can be justified—not with spin—but with cold hard facts.
