Florida Governor Ron DeSantis launched his presidential campaign on Twitter. To avoid seeming biased, Twitter stopped working.

Technical issues cut the live stream and played ‘elevator music’. This was poorly received because elevators can’t play guitar and, despite expectations, their lyrics are not uplifting.

As governor, DeSantis has introduced laws prohibiting the teaching of confusing gender identity concepts such as ‘Male’, ‘Female’ and ‘Other’.

He denied being trans-phobic, saying he is a “Brother from another Other.”

DeSantis has promised to build a border wall. Between him and Trump.

Trump responded to the Twitter announcement. “My red button is bigger, better and is working.”

Unfortunately, there was a glitch in Trump’s tweet. It was meant to read: “My red butt is bigger, better and is working.”

Ron is promising the American public everything they want for Christmas.

He’s calling it The DeSantis Clause.
