Joe Biden and Donald Trump do not have a lot in widespread aside from each being presidents. One is sweet and pleasant; the opposite imply and vindictive. They in all probability hate one another much more than individuals understand. However on Wednesday, they each did the identical factor: They trolled Ron DeSantis for his disastrous presidential marketing campaign launch on Twitter.
A couple of days in the past, the Governor of Florida introduced an uncommon strategy to formally announce his 2024 race: somewhat than internet hosting a press occasion (or using down a golden escalator), he would accomplish that on Twitter Areas. Teaming up with Elon Musk – and on a service affected by issues since he took over and gutted the workers – was asking for calamity. And he acquired it. There have been glitches early on and it took DeSantis about 20 minutes to speak. At one level the room crashed and so they needed to open a brand new one.
The launch was roundly mocked on social networks, together with by the boys who might very effectively (or not!) turn into its predecessors. Let’s begin with Biden, whose Twitter account mocked technical difficulties with a easy tweet: the phrases “This hyperlink works,” directing customers to his 2024 marketing campaign website.
It could have been embarrassing for the comparatively younger DeSantis (and Elon Musk) to be gasped by an 80-year-old man. Worse nonetheless, he was additionally belittled – relentlessly – by a 76-year-old man.
In response to The Day by day Beast, Trump spent a lot of the prep for DeSantis’ Twitter area rally lighting it up on Fact Social. He posted screenshots of polls displaying Trump beating him. He welcomed him to the race and warned him that he could be “attacked by the Marxists, the Communists and the crazies of the unconventional left in our nation”, simply as he had completed. At one level he referred to as him “Rob”, which is admittedly fairly humorous.
After the Twitter Areas debacle, nevertheless, Trump actually let it go. He posted a video of a SpaceX rocket crashing and burning, the phrases “Ron! 2024” which is affixed to it.
He additionally posted a video juxtaposing the launch of his 2020 marketing campaign with the snafus that plagued DeSantis’ 2024.

“Wow! DeSanctus TWITTER’s launch is a DISASTER! His complete marketing campaign will probably be a catastrophe. WATCH!” he wrote later.
He additionally weighed in on different Republican candidates. “Tim Scott’s presidential pitch, even with the microphone damaged (do not pay the contractor, Tim!), was palms down the perfect presidential pitch of the week,” he wrote. “Robs was a catastrophe!”
“Rob” is not “Meatball Ron,” which he swears by no means to say, but it surely’s approach higher than “DeSanctimonious.”
