Read our privacy policy Ron DeSantis is facing a similar kind of mockery he previously aimed at his competitors for “kissing the ring” of former President Donald Trump. “Ron DeSantis just kissed the ring,” Mr Trump’s niece, Mary Trump, wrote on X. Podcaster Julie Roginsky predicted Mr DeSantis’s endorsement of Mr Trump, writing on 15 January: “Pin this tweet for when DeSantis drops, immediately kisses Trump’s ring and basks in the glow of Trump’s approval.” “Guess who just kissed the ring on his way out….they are all pathetic,” comedian Dana Goldberg added. Former GOP senate staffer Amanda Carpenter wrote on 15 January, “There needs to be a word or phrase to describe how candidates, mostly out of frustration, finally get honest when it’s too late,” in reference to Mr DeSantis’s pre-Iowa comments about Mr Trump. “He didn’t win in Florida by some magical gift of his own, he inherited the best Republican machine in the country – it elected him, he didn’t win – he was hustled in there on the backs of 30 years of Republican dominance in the state and an infinite amount of money.” Calling Mr DeSantis “the opposite of political charisma”, Mr Wilson added that “the initial idea of Ron DeSantis being a great campaigner was rapidly put to the test and discovered to be a lie”.
