Governor of Florida and GOP moron Ron DeSantis will not stop his crazed hijinks. DeSantis is seemingly determined to grab as many terrible headlines as possible. Like a baby who won’t stop crying, DeSantis and his search for ways to garner headlines that make him look like a fool do not appear to be stopping anytime soon.

DeSantis is demanding $8 million to begin his hate work against “unauthorized aliens.”

“Fight back against the Biden border crisis” is his newest battle cry. DeSantis held a news conference where he oh-so-solemnly declared he was prepared to fight back against President Biden’s “reckless border policies.”

DeSantis has appeared to escalate in recent months. He has come up with new and unexciting ideas to raise holy hell. One of his other ideas was to create his own militia who would answer only to him.

So what’s REALLY going on here? I’ve got a good idea. DeSantis, in my opinion, wants to run for President — and he wants to do it whether or not Trump runs.

Trump will not run, of course, but DeSantis does not know that. He seems to be positioning himself as the next Trump — God helps us all.

What DeSantis does not seem to understand is that he cannot be the next Trump no matter how much he yearns to be. Trump, while being a psychotic mutant of the first degree, at least has the gift of gab. DeSantis has the gift of creepiness. Not quite the same thing.

He is also ensuring he will never be able to win the Presidency. Historically candidates move to the middle once they get the nomination.

DeSantis is going so far right he is virtually guaranteed not to be able to win the independents and swing voters. He seems to think being Trump involves nothing more than screaming a lot and grabbing headlines. He will find out for himself how wrong he is if he does throw his hat in the ring in 2024.
