Twitter: Where the DeSantis campaign goes to die. 😂

[kentstate]

Has a POTUS candidate ever had less charisma than Ron?

[drakefire]

I figured nobody would come closer to outjebbing Jeb Bush than the Republican campaign announcement that had to insist that he wasn't a version, and that he then had to go to the potty.

DeSantis just proved me wrong.

[jockyoung]

I wish Desantis would explain what he thinks is so evil about "woke" anyway? It seems like a silly thing to be so obsessed about.

[BlueJazzBoyNZ]

Ron is multicultural. He likes Thigh Food, and will not let any women tell him otherwise.

[rgwak]

Nothing says presidential material like failing at your presidential campaign announcement. 🤣

[rgwak]

Thank goodness Desantis didn't announce his presidential campaign from Elon's space rocket. 🚀💥

[MrKockabilly]

When a known politician is scheduled to go on air about a very critical national event together with the billionaire who owns the media platform, what could go wrong? If they can't even get this one short event right, who would expect anyone to choose them to run a, hmmm, a birthday party?

[susancaldwell]

Wow, to begin a presidential race on a far-right social network

Running uphill backwards with his pants down around his ankles. Nice start, Ron!

Pudding vs Ketchup.
It's gonna be tremendously bigly 😂

[danisyx]

so many people twitters servers couldn't handle it, all 17 of them lol

[BigDanOz]

Dark energy of the dynamic dark duo! Darkness begets darkness 😡 😉 😈

[DocthMech]

Trump versus DeSantis, like a slug versus a snail.😊

[thomascaldwell]

The BIG LIAR versus the BOOK BURNER. The very best the Republican Party has to offer😢

[t.a.k.palfrey]

"Threatening to Trump"? Just about as challenging as Churchill's wartime speeches would have been threatened by a Mr Bean oration! 😂

[gregfoster]

BOOM!! As some of us have been saying, DeSantis ain't ready. Between Trump and the mouse, it's a fatal car accident waiting to happen.

[phillisob]

Why turn so hard right as governor when you're trying to project yourself as the general election candidate?

[agolftwittler]

Rhonda Santis vs his former BF Dishonest Don.
Pudding vs Ketchup.
What is not to love about that 😂
