Former President Donald Trump has welcomed Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to the Republican presidential race with a series of posts on his social media channels. Trump’s posts were in response to DeSantis’ glitch-ridden Twitter audio-chat with billionaire SpaceX founder Elon Musk, which failed to launch for about 20 minutes.
Trump posted a video to Truth Social that showed contrasting images of DeSantis’ campaign announcement last year and a video mocking DeSantis’ entry via a glitchy Twitter event hosted by Elon Musk. The video included a fake ― perhaps AI ― Trump voice.
The former president also posted a video attacking DeSantis as an ingrate who owes his career to Trump. He posted another of what appears to be a SpaceX rocket falling over and exploding with “Ron! 2024” over it.
Trump’s posts were met with enthusiasm from his allies, who shared images to represent their excitement, including a glass of wine and a laughing-to-tears emoji.
Trump’s posts have been seen as a sign of his continued influence in the Republican Party, and a reminder of his ability to shape the political landscape. It remains to be seen how DeSantis’ campaign will fare in the coming months, but Trump’s posts have certainly made an impact.
