Ron DeSantis, The governor of the state of Florida announced this Wednesday his candidacy for the Republican nomination for the presidential election in the United States in 2024. He did it through the Twitter space, which, due to repeated technical failures, prevented the candidate from speaking for the first half hour. In his presentation, the politician was supported by Elon Muskone of the world’s richest men and the owner of the platform, and David Sacks, a Silicon Valley investor close to Musk who helped finance his purchase of Twitter and who donated $50,000 to the political action committee of DeSantis’ last campaign in Florida.

For the first thirty minutes, the candidate could not intervene, and the discussion between Musk and Sacks, who were moderators, was interrupted. During that time frame, DeSantis’ official Twitter account posted a video announcing that DeSantis is running for president because “the border is a mess, crime is flooding our cities, and families are suffering.” In the face of all these evils, according to the video, DeSantis would manage to “restore sanity” to the United States.

Finally, half an hour after the announcement, out of nowhere, that is, from the digital silence of the platform, Sacks gave the floor to DeSantis to start saying what he wanted to say. “Well (sic),” the candidate began, “I’m going to campaign for President of the United States and lead the Great Comeback of the United States of America».

Then Musk, Sacks and other guests began to intervene, playing the role of moderator and interviewer. In their speeches, they asked the candidate a series of questions that revolved around that culture war typical of the MAGA (“Make America Great Again”) movement that Donald Trump found so effective, and which ultimately turned the forum into an ideal space for DeSantis to do his part of the job. Thus, DeSantis was able to denounce imaginary grievances such as alleged censorship of “traditional” media against conservative voices, alleged collusion by federal agencies with the progressive establishment bent on subjugating Americans, and the book censorship scam in the state of Florida, which, despite evidence to the contrary, according to the candidate did not hold.

The rest of the conversation foreign policy, the primary and sole responsibility of the President under the United States Constitution. There was no mention of China or Russia or, in general, any foreign country, except for the promise inherited from Trump to build a wall and close the border with Mexico as a solution to the problems of immigration and those caused by the epidemic of coronavirus.fentanyl.
