It would be a “killer” for Ron DeSantis’ budget, according to Donald Trump, if Disney decided to leave Florida because of the governor’s spat with the company.
The possible opponent for his reelection in 2024, the governor of Florida, has accused the former president’s old home of “destroying” him. Moreover, he acknowledged that his “original PR plan failed.”
He implied that if the company did not take over the Reedy Creek Improvement District, it may start selling off properties and moving money out of state.
Open Secrets claims that the Walt Disney Company made a sizeable donation to Trump’s America First Action for the 2020 election.
DeSantis reportedly threatened to build a jail near the Magic Kingdom as revenge against Disney for seeking to take away his rights over the property where the theme park is located.
The incoming Republican administration in Florida, he said, will reinstate the authority of his monitoring board over Disney.
DeSantis plans to further control Reedy Creek beginning next week. Reedy Creek has long been financially independent and tax-free.
Trump said on Truth Social on a Tuesday morning, “Disney is destroying DeSanctus.” He appeared to be using a shorter version of his customary name, “DeSanctimonious.”
To “save face,” he said, “his first public relations plan for DeSantis didn’t work, so now he’s trying again with a new one.” Due to the Governor’s actions, Disney will soon announce that it will no longer invest in Florida. It’s possible that they’ll make a formal announcement that they’re closing shop or selling off assets. Watch! That’s essentially the same as the death penalty.
Meanwhile, it’s all a political show that’s pointless and distracting. Ron needs to clear up the squatter problem, which is now a HOT MESS. The president-elect’s predecessor provided advice.
Although it has not been confirmed, DeSantis has apparently been thinking about running for president in 2024. No one else is in a position to challenge Trump if he enters the race.
As he travels throughout the country, speculation about a possible presidential candidacy becomes louder.
This week, DeSantis will be in Washington, DC, to speak at the Heritage Foundation’s Leadership Summit. On Wednesday, he will make two stops in South Carolina, a key early primary state.
Trump’s newest criticism came after yet another Floridian official gave their support to Bush Sr.’s third run for the presidency.

The bulk of Florida’s congressional delegation has backed Trump since he moved there.
by backing their party’s leader, President Donald Trump, for re-election and expressing sentiments along the lines of “Today, I show my unwavering support for the America First movement by endorsing our party’s leader, President Donald Trump, for re-election as President of the United States!” To demonstrate his solidarity with the movement, Steube posted a video.
It all started in 2022, when Disney officials rejected a “Don’t Say Gay” initiative being considered in Florida.
Under the new regulation, public schools in Florida cannot teach pupils in kindergarten through third grade about sexual orientation and gender identity.
In response to inquiries about the bill, ex-CEO Bob Chapek said he had called DeSantis at the time to “express our disappointment and concern.”
The upshot was that Florida’s Republican governor and legislature got rid of the state’s designation as a tax haven.
Twitter users weren’t convinced there wasn’t a link between the narrative and the crisis in Florida, even if “Pride Nite” was taking place on the other side of the country.
To paraphrase one of the performers, Steven Pasquale said it best: “This is Disney standing up to Florida’s radical governor.”
Someone joked, “The fireworks will be so big and loud that they’ll cover the coup Disney launches in Tallahassee.” Meatball Ron will exclaim, “Oh Gawrsh!” as his dying words before Goofy defines “Hush Puppy” for him.
