Memorial Day took an unexpected turn as Republican presidential hopefuls Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump engaged in a fiery exchange on Monday morning. During an appearance on Fox & Friends, DeSantis was questioned about various topics, including his chances in Iowa, a critical state for any politician seeking the Republican nomination. DeSantis took the opportunity to highlight his differences with Trump, particularly regarding their stances on Disney.
DeSantis claimed that Trump had taken the side of Disney in a dispute in Florida, where DeSantis has been standing up for parents and children. He accused the multibillion-dollar company of sexualizing children and argued that such actions were inconsistent with the values of Florida and Iowa. Trump quickly responded on social media, disputing DeSantis’ claims and criticizing Fox News for not reading his previous statements on Disney. He also boasted about his popularity in polls and mentioned that he received more votes than DeSantis in Florida.
I mean, you know, they had mentioned there may be some differences with me and Donald Trump. And I think that those differences redound to my benefit in a place like Iowa. I mean, for example, you know, he’s taken the side of Disney in our fight down here in Florida. I’m standing for parents, I’m standing for children. And I think a multibillion dollar company that sexualizes children is not consistent with the values of Florida or the values of a place like Iowa.
In his social media post, Trump reposted a comment from the previous day where he blamed DeSantis for Disney’s alleged transformation into a “Woke and Disgusting” entity. He suggested that DeSantis should have taken action earlier to prevent this. However, it is unclear how an elected official could regulate the actions of a private company within the confines of the law. Additionally, Trump’s claim of closely tracking Fox News programming despite his criticism of the network raises eyebrows.
Ron DeSanctimonious just stated, without correction on Fox & Friends, that I was “backing” Disney. Wrong! Fox should have read my posted TRUTH on Disney, but that’s not the game they play. Also, in the polls, I am beating Biden by a lot, “Rob” isn’t! Also, WAY UP ON RON. Check out the DeSanctus speech at the Trump Rally I gave to get him elected. Not easy! p.s. I got 1.2 Million more votes in Florida than Ron, a little reported fact!
While DeSantis’ accusation that Disney sexualizes children lacks concrete evidence, it may resonate with a segment of the GOP base that is concerned about such issues. The exchange between DeSantis and Trump highlights the tensions and disagreements within the Republican Party as candidates position themselves for the 2024 presidential race. As the campaign progresses, it remains to be seen how these conflicts will shape the party’s future direction and the choices made by Republican voters.
Disney has become a Woke and Disgusting shadow of its former self, with people actually hating it. Must go back to what it once was, or the “market” will do irreparable damage. This all happened during the Governorship of “Rob” DeSanctimonious. Instead of complaining now, for publicity reasons only, he should have stopped it long ago. Would have been easy to do – Still is!
