Sunday’s unity meeting between Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump included discussion of personal issues, the Florida Governor told Fox News viewers.
“A lot of it was just connecting about things,” DeSantis told Sean Hannity.
“I mean, look: he’s a dad, he’s got a kid going to college. I’m a dad. I’ve got three young kids in the household. He’s concerned about how my wife was doing. Obviously, she had a cancer scare a couple of years ago. So it was just a good meeting and a good conversation,” DeSantis recounted.
The Governor also offered some hints toward his political strategy during the cable hit, saying his team is “going to be active in a variety of capacities throughout the rest of the year to help, you know, not just the top of the ticket, but all around the country.”
Earlier this week, DeSantis said the meeting was successful, with the men moving on from the “dynamic” of the Primary to be “unified” on issues.
But these comments were the first to show that the men connected personally, presenting a contrast from Trump World observations on the meeting that seemed unlikely just a few months ago.
“I am very happy to have the full and enthusiastic support of Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida,” Trump posted on Truth Social.
“We had a great meeting yesterday, arranged by mutual friend Steve Witkoff, at his beautiful Shell Bay Club in Hollywood, Florida. The conversation mostly concerned how we would work closely together to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. Also discussed was the future of Florida, which is FANTASTIC! I greatly appreciate Ron’s support in taking back our Country from the Worst President in the History of the United States. November 5th is a BIG DAY!!!”
“The meeting was fine, went long, ended with a handshake,” asserted Susie Wiles Sunday to Florida Politics. “They discussed the full range of policy issues and politics, too. Ron’s role in the campaign is yet to be determined, but he was clear that he wanted to help in every way he could.”

Good for dads and kids but folks who work under the Florida sun cant get a water break.
Anyway, the whipped dog with it’s tail between its legs has made up with it’s abusive master.

I like that analogy. They always come grovelling back but I’ll never understand why. No self respect I guess.

Correct it to read “…licks the feet of his abusive master.”

I find the whole Kristi Noem thing kind of interesting. I’ve spent time on a cattle station in Australia and she’s 100% right. If a dog won’t work, it has to go otherwise it will ruin the rest of the pack and those dogs are awful expensive and time consuming to train. Anyone who lives in the country would be thinking, yeah, big deal. Anyone who was raised in a city would be mortified that she shot a dog. The fact that she’s doubling down points to the old ‘red meat’ to the base. That aside, her BS story about meeting Kim Jong Un is a provable lie.

So Tom, being that those dogs are awful expensive and time consuming to train, would you take one off the hands of another rancher who said the dog was a problem dog that had to go? Probably not. Why would Kristi (or her parents)?

I won’t be surprised if Trump orders Rhonda to prove he’s a real man, like Kristi Noem is, by killing his own puppy, and doing it in front of the kids.

Neither DeSantis nor Trump are role models for their own children ……

I assumed they traded stories about how damn sexy their daughters are, and they surely boasted about who went the farthest with his own daughter.
With Rhonda being the former base baller, I bet they got to 3rd base or maybe even a home run with their daughter while Trump probably just hit foul balls until finally striking out, but then scribbles that he got a hole in one, or got one in a hole.

Going to take a wild guess: Desantis doesn’t read anything on Florida Politics. One of his flunkies probably scans the site for trannie stuff and that’s about it.

Too bad they didn’t connect on being a faithful and loving husband.

I hope DeScamus is a better father than he is an American or humane human being.

DeSantis is the turd is Trumps punch bowl. I now understand why MAGA is incredibly obsessed with LGBTQ. The GOP is chopper blocked full of closeted homosexual men.
