AdChoices Daily Mail Daily Mail Trump tells Disney to move OUT of Florida in their war with Ron DeSantis Story by Katelyn Caralle, U.S. Political Reporter For Dailymail.com • 1h ago

Donald Trump took Disney World's side in the company's war with Ron DeSantis He suggested that the company could move out Florida amid the conflict Walt Disney Co. is a massive donor to pro-Trump America First Action Donald Trump has urged Disney to leave Florida in a move that would be a financial 'killer' for Ron DeSantis.

The former president said the Florida Governor and potential 2024 presidential rival is being 'destroyed' by the Magic Kingdom and claimed his 'original P.R. plan fizzled'.

He said the corporation could start selling properties and moving money out of the state in the feud over who has control over the Reedy Creek Improvement District.

Meanwhile, Walt Disney Co. donated a whopping $10.5 million to Trump’s America First Action in the 2020 election cycle, according to Open Secrets.

In the most recent escalation in the war with Disney, DeSantis threatened to build a prison next to the theme park as payback.

'DeSanctus is being absolutely destroyed by Disney,' Trump claimed in a Truth Social post on Tuesday morning, seeming to employ a shorter version of his usual nickname 'DeSanctimonious'.

'His original P.R. plan fizzled, so now he's going back with a new one in order to save face,' he added of DeSantis. 'Disney's next move will be the announcement that no more money will be invested in Florida because of the Governor - In fact, they could even announce a slow withdrawal or sale of certain properties, or the whole thing. Watch! That would be a killer.'

Trump is correct. No one cares about Disney. If you don’t like it, people just don’t watch their stuff. DeSantis came up with a cockamanie publicity stunt but was too dumb to realize it wouldn’t work, even though people told him beforehand.

But even if DeSantis had succeeded, it wouldn’t have mattered. Disney is irrelevant to most people.

IF true (we can’t trust the MSM) its a stupid comment, just like Desantis’ comments about Bragg’s indictment of Trump.

Trump is a populist not a Conservative, and in spite what he thinks about Desantis, his recent statement about Disney is likely to win him more Dim support in Florida than anything else.

Trump is carying his campaign challenge with DeSantis into directions that may vere away from his base of support.

Trump is Disney’s little bitch, taking their money and defending them from that awful DeSantis who is protecting our children from groomers.

I dare anyone to tell me one thing that is not a fact in that statement!

Trump is much harder on DeSantis than he is on Biden.

One battle at a time.

DeSantis is the current battle, and in war, everything goes.

Once DeSantis is disposed of, Trump will do battle with Biden.

Politics is war, and in war, anything goes.

I'm not liking the sniping between 'fellow' republicans, but then, all sides can be guilty of dirty tricks, and DeSantis is not a saint (even if saint is part of his name).

Besides, nobody believes that Disney is going to leave Florida, not Trump and not DeSantis either. It's all hot air. But, if Disney were to actually be dumb enough to leave Florida, there would be a lot of other organizations, including theme parks, that would jump at the opportunity to take over the Disney grounds in Florida. But, ain't ever gonna happen.

I am glad to see others are starting to see this.
I don’t know yet if Trump is saying it or the PAC backed by the Left is saying it.
Whatever it is, it feels strange.

No one wants Disney to leave FL.
We DO want Disney to stop being stupid.

Trump is more and more sounding like a Bull Moose type of Republican - support me or I will run as an independent, and those who support Trump down that line have to remember Teddy Roosevelt lost the general election when he ran outside the GOP, with the result that Woodrow Wilson won the three man race in the general election.

Some battles need not be engaged, as there is no potential for gain.

All the pantywaists on this thread don't understand politics.

Eight years ago, as Trump was running a buzzsaw through GOP establishment types like Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Bobby Jindal, and Carly Fiorina, just to name a few, we heard here the same hysterics on how Trump was throwing the race to the Democrats because he was such a mean guy and all and making it so no Republican would ever vote for him.

“The fact that he cheated on his beautiful wife for a trashy porn star told me a lot and it wasn’t good.”

I don’t believe that.

It is easier than that....Trump takes money from Disney to the tunes of tens of millions, and he wants that money for 2024, so he will support them.

Trump is Disney's little bitch.

To continue with your basketball metaphor, if we’re scoring the men for childish swipes at the other, I think Trump is leading by about 98-2

Disney is not a friend of MAGA. Trump needs to stay away from this one.
