Just so I understand:

Getting loaned a golf simulator = BAD
Getting paid MILLIONS in bribes by countries hostile to the US = A-OK, nothing to see here.

Do I have that right?

I think he mentioned something, but off the top of my head I don’t recall. Anyway, lots of candidate positions are still be shared, it is early in the campaign, I’m sure he and others will get around to it. Patience.

Oh noes! Someone lent him a golf simulator! He’s evil!

Being pro-Trump, as I am, shouldn’t make you demonically anti-DeSantis, as so many FReepers are showing themselves to be.

desantis supporters don’t see anything wrong with corruption and basically bribery....

Most of them probably have the same level of morals, so lying, being deceitful and corrupt is part of their character...

So, the da santis admin didn’t report it to the florida ethics commission, because it was a “loan”.

I wonder if the desantis’ also just asked the millionaire if he could “loan” his jet to them for trips, so it wouldn’t have to be reported to the ethics commission, either.

You see, the problem is DeSantis does not support exactly the same policies as Trump, so he is unfit.

If DeSantis would support the same policies, these same creepy Trump cultists would say he is just a copycat.

You are dealing with immature minds on this subject.

Biden will not get an assault weapons ban passed. Trump will

Biden will not get federal legislation to protect abortion. Trump promised he will.

Biden and Trump like to party with groomers.

All FACTS

I’ll vote for the guy who can buy his own golf simulator … to go with his golf resorts all over the world, and the luxury passenger jet he uses to travel to them.

Trump is being harassed to no end by this nation’s political establishment (which includes Ron DeSantis, by the way) because he can’t be corrupted.

China wins with DeDantis. All remaining middle class manufacturing jobs will be shipped to China.

Just like a creepy Trump cultist, you side with the leftists on censoring anyone you cannot debate with logically.

The RDS Rat pack are getting angrier and angrier. The polling data must be looking bad for old Ronnie.

“Trump is being harassed to no end by this nation’s political establishment (which includes Ron DeSantis, by the way) because he can’t be corrupted.”

Thank you!!

The most recent O’Keefe video had a BlackRock employee said a politician can be bought (corrupted) for as little as $10,000. So now I believe that 90% of them are corrupted. Trump doesn’t need or want or need bribes from the oligarchs.

Has DeSantis spoken out about the Commies moving into Cuba to do military drills?

Tariffs are just another form of taxation on the consumer and have almost zero effect on restoring competitiveness and trade imbalance. Refer to Econ 101.

—-> DeSantis is a puppet of his donor class.

+1

At least the fourth article that makes this point.

He has never said he is against tariffs on China. His exact words, according to people at the donor’s lunch, is that he did not think that Trump’s tariffs were effective. That is not the same thing at all.

And seeing as how Biden has kept Trump’s tariffs in place (Yes, you read that right. Google it.) I would agree.
