“In his yearlong battle with Disney,” CNN says (here), “Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has repeatedly leaned on the element of surprise in his attempts to outmaneuver the entertainment giant and its army of executives, high-priced lawyers and politically connected lobbyists.”
“’Nobody can see this coming,’ DeSantis told a top Republican legislative leader as they planned a move against Disney last year, he recalled in his new book. But when Disney finally struck back and thwarted … a DeSantis-led state takeover of its long-standing special taxing district, it was the Republican governor who was seemingly caught off guard.
“The same February morning Disney pushed through an agreement with the district’s outgoing board that secured control of its development rights for decades to come, DeSantis had declared to cameras and supporters, ‘There’s a new sheriff in town.’”
Ahh, yup.
Let’s skip over the fact that DeSantis, who wants to be president, is a jerk. And isn’t minding the store. (Doesn’t he have a state to govern?) If Disney can outsmart him so easily, what will Putin do to him? And Xi?
Not ready to be president. I don’t see that he ever will be.
