Former President Donald Trump couldn’t hide his joy as he mocked the “disaster” that befell Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ campaign on Wednesday.
DeSantis joined Elon Musk in announcing his 2024 presidential bid, though it got off to an auspicious start when the Twitter platform “Spaces” suffered technical problems and delayed the start of the event by 30 minutes.
“Oh! The launch of DeSanctus TWITTER is a DISASTER! Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. “His entire campaign will be a disaster. LOOK!”
In China he pointed that Senator Tim Scott’s campaign announcement earlier in the week was more effective, calling DeSantis’ inauguration a “disaster.”
Trump was “truly honest” about DeSantis throughout the governor’s speech @elonmusk and @DavidSacks. I want to know what his smurf account is because you know he can’t stay away from Twitter. pic.twitter.com/lZw4dG872j

Trump Tweets Fake DeSantis Video And It’s … Something
Say what you will about Trump’s criticism of DeSantis — much of it unnecessary, but that’s politics — he also showed his sense of humor by posting a video on Twitter featuring the Devil, Dick Cheney, George Soros, and Hitler.
Following DeSantis’s fake announcement video, the fake Trump intervenes in the conversation.
“Hold your horses Elon, the real president is going to say a few words,” Trump’s voice says. “Devil, I’m going to kick your ass soon. Hitler is already dead, Dick Cheney sounds like you’re going to join Hitler soon.
In the video, ‘Cheney’ can’t stop coughing.
Trump just posted this video mocking DeSantis. I admit it, I couldn’t stop laughing😂

Trump’s comments were also sometimes confusing. At one point he thought about North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un becoming his friend as well.
“’Rob,’ My Red Button is bigger, better, stronger, and works (FOR REAL!), yours doesn’t! (on my talks with Kim Jung Un, of North Korea, soon to be my friend!),” Trump said said the post.
DeSantis’ establishment of Spaces was a complete mess, and Trump’s response was lame and disinterested. You all need to step up your game. You can all do well. pic.twitter.com/CrA2N3mtMy

Elon Musk Fires a HUGE Return
Does the last post that mentioned “TRUTH” about Trump’s Truth Social media platform indicate that his ‘red button’ is working to report DeSantis on Twitter due to technical problems?
As it turned out, Musk fired back by taking the blowtorch to Trump’s social media platform.
“The only reason people even know about this (about Trump’s insults) is because of the pictures that were posted on Twitter,” Musk wrote.
He’s right, you know. Social media didn’t grow to Twitter. If Trump returns to Twitter his message will be amplified a million times.
The only reason people know about this is because of the pictures that were posted on Twitter lol

Trump previously praised Musk for doing the country a “great job” by releasing the ‘Twitter Files’ that revealed collusion between the FBI, the Biden campaign, and the media to interfere in the 2020 election.
He has called the visionary billionaire a “hero” for freedom.
“Yeah, I’d say he’s a hero.” I think it’s a big part of his legacy,” Trump said. “I think it’s more important than any of the other things he’s done.”
