Stick with the Loser I am excited to see Trump lose Again
Nut Job
the vaccines that saved three million lives in this country alone."
Yep our Stupid Governor
DeSantis calls for permanent ban on COVID mask and vaccine mandates.
Following Tuesday's announcement, state House Minority Leader Fentrice Driskell, a Tampa Democrat, called DeSantis "the number one peddler of a dangerous message from the anti-vax establishment."
"It is a fake ideology with real consequences -- 84,000-plus dead Floridians and counting," Driskell said. "Masks work, the CDC has proven that. The mRNA vaccines work."
DeSantis' more recent skepticism of vaccines is a reversal of his efforts in early 2021, when his administration worked aggressively to make shots available to seniors and the governor boasted about the state's speed at distributing the vaccine.
"Florida Leads the Nation in Vaccines for Ages 65+ with Seniors First Approach," said a January 2021 press release from his office.
At one point, DeSantis appeared on Fox News alongside a 100-year-old World War II veteran receiving a dose live on air. At a press conference in July 2021, DeSantis delivered a full-throated backing of the vaccine's effectiveness against the Covid-19 virus.
"If you are vaccinated, fully vaccinated, the chance of you getting seriously ill or dying from Covid is effectively zero," he said at the time. "These vaccines are saving lives. They are reducing mortality."
However, as DeSantis set his sights on a potential showdown with Trump for the GOP nomination in 2024, his public support for the vaccine began to wane. He refused to say if he had received a booster shot -- a position Trump called "gutless" in a 2022 interview -- and he has made Florida an outlier in its approach to the vaccine in recent months. Under DeSantis, Florida became the only state to recommend against vaccinating children and the state Department of Health has also discouraged men under 40 from getting the mRNA Covid-19 vaccine because of concerns about side effects.

Trump Is Plotting How to Kick DeSantis ‘In the Nuts.’ Here’s His Playbook, So Far
Former President Donald Trump and his allies have already started charting out possible plans of attack against likely 2024 rival and Florida governor Ron DeSantis, according to three people familiar with the matter.
“This is where…Trump kicks him in the nuts,” one person close to the ex-president says.
The former president’s determination to obliterate his ascendent rival underscores just how unwilling Trump is to pass the torch and surrender his stewardship of the GOP — even if it shreds the party. As Trump and his ideological heir DeSantis vie for control of the Republican Party, the victor in that power struggle will help determine the precise kind of extreme politics that modern conservatives see as their future: the authoritarian personality cult of a Trump, or the more disciplined MAGAism of a DeSantis.
(CNN)Former President Donald Trump took aim at Ron DeSantis Saturday, claiming the Florida governor and his team are "trying to rewrite history" regarding their Covid-19 pandemic response, and called the potential presidential run by his GOP rival "very disloyal."
"There are Republican governors that did not close their states," Trump told reporters while aboard his plane. "Florida was closed for a long period of time."
"They're trying to rewrite history," he added. CNN has reached out to DeSantis for comment.

In March 2020, the Florida governor issued an executive order closing bars and nightclubs, urging people to follow US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines to limit gatherings on beaches to no more than 10 people. By that September, DeSantis signed an order clearing restaurants and bars to fully open, which drew criticism from public health officials due to the Covid-19 spike that fall.
Trump defended his management of the pandemic, saying he left decisions to governors.
"I had governors that decided not to close a thing and that was up to them," he said. The former president also took aim at DeSantis' shifting posture on vaccines, saying the Florida governor had "changed his tune a lot."
That claim comes after DeSantis called on state lawmakers this month to make permanent existing penalties for companies that require all employees get the Covid-19 vaccination.
The rivalry with Trump hangs over every move DeSantis makes. Their relationship traces back to the governor's 2018 primary campaign, when an endorsement from Trump helped the little-known congressman win the nomination. A viral ad featuring DeSantis and his family, including two young children, highlighted his allegiance to Trump.
But as talk of 2024 swirled in recent months, as Trump again declared his presidential candidacy, and DeSantis won re-election in a 19-point landslide in November, the pair grew increasingly at odds. Before and after the midterm election, Trump derided DeSantis as an "average governor" and mocked him with the would-be nickname, "Ron DeSanctimonious."
On Saturday, during his first major campaign swing to New Hampshire and South Carolina, Trump took credit again for helping elevate DeSantis during his 2018 bid for governor, saying "Ron would have not been governor if it wasn't for me."
"So when I hear he might run, I consider that very disloyal," Trump said.
Former President Trump said Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) running for president would be “a great act of disloyalty” as he kicked off his first two major campaign events as part of his own 2024 presidential run.
