Ron DeSantis’ unhinged fake laugh is the stuff of nightmares
Florida’s righter-than-right Governer Ron DeSantis has his work cut out to catch up on Donald Trump in the polls showing who has most public support to be the Republican Presidential nominee for 2024.
During a visit to Iowa, he was seen laughing as though his nomination life depended on it at something a potential supporter had said.

If people thought that was bad – and, to be clear, they did – they weren’t prepared for the video.
