DeSantis announces 2024 run as Trump attacks

DeSantis "coming out with Musk" made me laugh.

[Heybabetv]

How does DeSantis look alive and dead at the same time?

[outermarker]

Lol. Desantis and musk together don't even make one reasonably well adjusted human.
It's like using a slinky and rubber ball to play chess 😂

[frankdegennaro]

Yeah...he announced it to Elon Musk, via Twitter, not in front of his supporters. Money talks, I guess. But then again, he rarely interacts with the people of Florida. What would he be like under questioning from the American people. 👎🖤

[JoeyDirtsteez]

Is he acting like all politicians aren’t paid for by billionaires?

[kevin]

God help Florida if he loses. He will take out his frustration on that state.

[professordick]

Wait till Mickey hears about this!!😂😂😂😂

[ziqi]

The fact that the live announcement was plagued with technical difficulties is so poetic.

[lanceanderson]

Elon so desperate for a republican pres. is proving to us that he will literally endorse anything.

[Leonaza]

It seems as though they believe that dividing and threatening people is the path to power. People don’t matter only power.

[humanistheart]

Oh this is going to be funny. Grab popcorn people 🍿

[joee]

Musk is absolutely a real life Bond villain lol

[jennifermorris]

De Santis is super awkward and creepy.

[nonames]

Last great debate I recall was Obama vs McCain . Those two had sensible, articulate, mature debates . It wasn’t about dividing each other but picking the more suitable candidate for the best interest of the American people . Today it’s just grown children slandering each other .

I know this has nothing to do with this video, but I am still kind of shocked and saddened about Tina Turner's passing. She was truly one of a kind and just a wonderful human being. She gave so much of herself to the world even after going thru what she did. Her music will stand the test of time and get us thru these terrible times. 🕊

[owenritz]

He's headed straight for the toilet. 😂😂😂

[sweetypie]

First Trump, and now this hot mess. They both should not be president. Not in the U.S.

[rogerlonghorn]

Now let's see how much Desantis tries to hide who is giving him money

“A sociopath is a person with a personality disorder manifesting itself in extreme antisocial attitudes and behavior and a lack of conscience.”

[VillVDr]

Ron DeSantis can’t even successfully announce his candidacy. How do we expect him to successfully run the country?
