TALLAHASSEE (The Borowitz Report)As he explores a bid for the 2024 Republican Presidential nomination, Governor Ron DeSantis is betting that G.O.P. voters are looking for a stupider version of Donald J. Trump.
According to a source close to DeSantis, the Florida Governor has decided to run to the stupid of Trump to pick up the support of voters who now consider the former President too intellectual.
When Trump recently said that he got the booster, that was the last straw, the source said. In the eyes of a lot of Republicans, Trump is basically Fauci now.
Trumps surrender to science is a slippery slope, the source added. Its only a matter of time before he starts flirting with geography and grammar.As DeSantis stakes his claim to the dumber-than-Trump lane, he spoke at a fund-raising event over the weekend.
Donald Trump believes that one plus one equals two, the Governor told his audience. I think the American people should be free to decide for themselves what one plus one equals.
