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.'

LOL!
Remember when Trump promised that if he was elected he would act so presidential that we would be bored?
He lied.
These random idiotic statements is why I want DeSantis over him.
and afterbirthie
Headline is a lie.
Why do FReepers fall for it?
“Trump is correct. No one cares about Disney.”
People on here have ranted (with just cause) repeatedly about Disney - until Trump sides with them, then suddenly “no one cares”. Rank hypocrisy.
It was clear in 2016 that nobody else was taking on Trump’s issues of trade and immigration. Trump changed things to the point where more politicians have to talk about trade and deindustrialization, and more Republicans have to talk about illegal immigration. This time, Trump isn’t alone against everybody else. The political environment is different now, and the old insult politics doesn’t work as well.
This is disqualifying, I guess that makes me a Never Trumper.
Trump has become that Jack Nicholson “Get off my lawn!!!” character. He might beat obviously senile 80 yo Biden, who won’t run again imo, but that’s about the only Dem he could beat. I think he could beat Kamala too, but Dems aren’t that stupid. Cue 55 yo CA Gov Newsome for the save.
Dont buy the hype. Trump is not siding with AB or Disney. He is trolling Desantis.
because this site is now filled with suckers ...
This is just small town nitpicking and not worthy of Presidential politics.
Disney is not going anywhere. They’re going to suck it up and try and get a more favorable state government. However they’re not going to sell anything, they’re not going to lessen their investment they just have to deal with it like every other company when they get government’s attention.
The best thing that can come from this is the absolute knowledge to anyone not paying attention that government can and will screw with anyone they want and likely without consequence.
That’s how you know government is out of control.
Uh, no, Donald, Disney will not and cannot “move” their Florida operation out of state. You’d don’t just call up U-haul and “move” EPCOT, the Magic Kingdom and 36,000 hotel rooms to another state.
Not a good look for Trump at all. Hmmmm....
I guess this is his week to be a complete moron again.
This primary season is going to be a doozy.
Meatball also took monies from Disney before he got corporate donor go-ahead to engage in this little performative struggle to “win” social conservatives- Ronny is a creature of said donors. Nothing in his public career indicates he would do anything other than such performances to push back against the wave of sexual degeneracy that defines late-stage USA.
Trump is on Disney's payroll, taking $20 million in 2020 and angling for more in 2024 with this attack on DeSantis.
The same with Anheuser-Busch....Trump took their money and now he is their little bitch.
Trump sold out.
