“Can you believe Ron DeSantis picked that joker Anthony Fauci to lead the pandemic response? What an idiot!” said President Trump. “And remember how they had to hospitalize DeSantis at Walter Reed when he had COVID because his oxygen got too low? Such a weakling!”

In addition to blaming DeSantis for the failings of Dr. Fauci, Trump also took the governor to task for rushing a vaccine through development with the federal government’s Operation Warp Speed. “Now they’re finding out this vaccine has all these terrible side effects, and it’s all because of Ron DeSantis,” said Mr. Trump. “Might as well call the disease ‘myocarDeSantis’! Ha! What a total failure. Sad!”
