Stephen Colbert joked about why Gov. Ron DeSantis will never become president of the United States.
„The big news tonight is that Ron DeSantis has dropped out of the presidential race after losing Iowa by 30 points and having an anemic 6% turnout in New Hampshire,“ Colbert said. . Right there. Well, ladies and gentlemen. That's a reaction he never got while running for president. But Ron, don't cry because it's over. Smile, because you need to practice smiling. Why don't Americans support the man who declared war on the Magic Kingdom, attacked transgender children, denied COVID-19, kidnapped immigrants and flew them to Martha's Vineyard, and ate pudding with his fingers? I don't understand. Of course, finger pudding is a delicacy known as (nausea). ”

DeSantis' image is now carved in stone in pop culture. He will never be taken seriously as a presidential candidate. Florida's governor may try to get a job in the next administration. playing cards will return to the White House, but that dream may be a distant dream for Ron DeSantis, given that President Trump is more likely to end up in the Governor's Office than the Oval Office.
Ron DeSantis was too weird to be president. He preys relentlessly on late-night comedians, but he doesn't see a future.
DeSantis can get back to running Florida from the inside out. Because America would never buy what he tried to sell.
