Feeling empowered after his boost from Georgia Republican Governor Brian Kemp, a man of notoriously intemperate disposition, presidential candidate Ron DeSantis begins the process to align himself with the neocon establishment and labeling Donald Trump supporters as “listless vessels” devoid of principle, who simply “follow whatever comes down the pike from Truth Social every morning.”
Appearing with a young millennial wearing a beaver tail on his head, namely Will Witt from the Florida Standard, Ron DeSantis outlines his opinion that the MAGA movement is only driven by the support of President Donald Trump, a person who has exhausted his usefulness in awakening the electorate. As a result, the high-minded superior intellects of the Republican Party now need to step in, reestablish the core values of the conservative movement, and put the squirming MAGA children in their play pens.
You can watch the entire interview below; I’m just prompting it to the part that best highlights the sanctimonious arrogance of a dim-witted candidate who really doesn’t carry his own policies, only those of the managers and branding consultants that create his talking points. WATCH:
What the insufferable DeSantis and his branding/image consultants pretend not to know, is that President Trump’s America First policies are the driving force behind the MAGA movement. Those policies consist of three main attributes that are non-existent in any other candidate:
Immigration. The construct of a southern border wall, denial of illegal entry and a return to immigration border controls that block illegal aliens.
Economics. The implementation of MAGAnomics that puts incentives behind Made In America. Baseline tariffs on all imports. The removal of the 70-year-old one-way Marshal plan for tariffs on USA products into the EU. Reciprocal tariffs against all nations who participate in bilateral Free Trade Agreements, and a return to America first manufacturing independence.
Foreign Policy. The withdrawal of USA interventionist foreign policy. The respect of national borders and national policies that are the outcome of the independent will of people within sovereign nations. The primary responsibility of NATO funding, support and activity, to the member states of the European Union. The use of USA economic strength as a national security weapon.
Those three pillars form the baseline of the America First policy that President Trump represents. No other candidate comes even close to the policies therein. President Trump represents the vessel we are using to force the professional political class to accept these policy priorities. MAGA is a set of policies uniquely attributed to President Trump, because only Trump willingly represents those policies.
The GOPe know this; so too does Ron DeSantis and his handlers. Every candidate in the Republican field understands this set of policies, and they have been paid by the multinational donors to pretend they do not know. Their collective GOPe mission is to destroy the policy platform; therefore, they must attack the core of the Trump supporters by pretending not to know.


I am rarely on Truth Social either. So who is really not informed, and out of touch!!
Me either – I prefer gettr.
Me either, right here is where I can see what is important on any of the other platforms. Sundance and Treepers keep us all updated on breaking news.
Pushaw wrote it for him. Desantis has no idea what the allusion to truth social is.
Is that a blooper reel? LOL.
Stop digging Ron…
Hello! MAGA is about 100 million strong. How stupid are these people? Well, Hillary always thought she was the smart one.
They’re not “listless”, Ron. They all have you on their list, and it’s not the good one!
Maga members are what put you in the Governor’s chair, and then re-elected you, you dim-wit. Now you done gone and pissed all of them off with your programmed, cue card response. You won’t win dog catcher in dunedin when you are thru w/governor job. What an idiot.
We just can’t imagine how they’re scripting his eventual ‘dropping out’ excuse.
And throwing his support to… anyone but Trump.
That’s MISTER “Deplorable Listless Vessel” to you, Desantis.
“Deplorable Listless Vessel”.
DLV.
Pardon me while I DELVE (DLV) into your monstrously mind bending meatball mistake of metamorphosing yourself into Hillary in an attempt to insult us:
You put the “Duh” in Duh-santis.
The MAGA voters have President Trump up, what is it, something like 45 percentage points over you? Or is it more?
And you wanna insult US?
The very people you *NEED* to vote for you?!?
That’s a SPECIAL kind of stupid right there, lol!
There is no WAAAAaaaay you used that line without poll testing it or running it by the election masters you must please first!
STUPID ON STEROIDS!
Hahahahaha!!!
My name is Greg1, and I’m a “Deplorable Listless Vessel”.
And you will *NEVER* get my vote.
Trump 2024.
Special kind of stupid.
I think you nailed it
“Deplorable Irredeemable Listless Vessel”.
Hi Ron,
Listless Piker here..
GFY 🙂
Looks like the Uniparty has given up on the Meatball, and have ordered him to attack MAGA voters on his way out.
Hey, we may be listless but at least we’re not meatballs.
In the End…
Meatballs gotta meatball.
I tale that as a badge of honor.
I’m a listless vessel.
Ⓜ️🅰️G🅰️
yyyyyyyyYEP!
Methinks Casey D isn’t too happy about these turn of events. Her husband is failing miserably.
She is “big mad.”
Hat tip Sundance 👌
Casey “D” and Ron “D”Santis spell imminent ‘divorce proceedings’ with apologies to the children of these two fools.
“Never marry a meatball”
– Every decent Dad, ever.
Dear Ron,
I have never been on Truth Social but still have your number. You will be at 1% before I can shake a stick because you are an arrogant ass with absolutely nothing to back it up. As my Okie cousin would say, “Your alligator mouth just overtook your Jaybird ass”.
To put it in old Army terms…the fool just sh1t in his mess kit.
Listless vessels…😁…
I think I would like to change my name.
Is Listless Vessel taken yet?
😁👍
“Clinging to their Bibles and Guns”, “Basket of Deplorables” and “Listless Vessels”: these self-aggrandized A-HOLES never learn, do they, that their insults and shadow banning rear up millions of Red Badges of Courage.
Sounds like something Casey would say.
Yah. We wore out Deplorable🤣
Don’t forget…SMELLY WALMART SHOPPERS
I just had my attorney file to have the copyright to that phrase. Since you would like to have it, I’ll trade you for one DEPLORABLE and a hamburger,Tuesday..
lol .. good one
We do not need to convince the electorate to support MAGA.
We need stop the cabal from manipulating election results.
This is the main reason why the Uniparty Cabal is pretending not to notice there is no fair path for anyone but Trump.
Wow! That’s in the same vein as “a basket of deplorables” – Ron is courting the same fate as Hill-Dog, except he’s already at the bottom of the heap. Ugh.
I can’t wait to see the signs and banners displayed once the next round of MAGA Boat Rallies gets underway.
Ron is going to rue the day he listened to the campaign flunky who came up with this turn of phrase.
On the other hand, “Listless Ron” has a pretty good ring to it.
I am sure the next Trump Flotilla Parade on the Intracoastal Waterway will feature a ‘listing to port side vessel’ honoring RDS.
What’s become clear more than anything else is that the people who rule this country hate the people who live here.
PT has exposed who these people really are and they know there is no going back.
Now once a scum bag sellout, always a scum bag sellout!
You don’t poison, lie to, and steal from people that you like
A hero to zero. that lets you know there are others that are hiding in wait… to backstap us later.
WhiteBoard: I think you are on to something. There has to be a reason for this controlled self-immolation. It’s looking more and more like a big distraction.
I thought I was a hero -she rated me a zero…( now I’m off to you tube to find that old country 🎵 song)
Can we start the memes? As useless as: An ashtray on a motorbike
As pointless as chicken nipples.
FRD
Please clap…
Yeah. Like you’re ‘rooted in principle.’ You stepped in it, for sure, Ronnie. Again, President Trump was right. DeSanctimonious certainly fits you.
The RNC better be ready to hear like hell to get Desantis in as the nominee
I knew a long time ago that DeSantis was a fraud. Now I also know that he’s a scumbag.
The only thing “listless” is the RDS presidential campaign. I’ve been trying to convince people on the fence that Ron DeSantis is a complete fraud. Maybe this will finally convince them.
Okay, whatever Ronald. Wasn’t there a leaked debate talking point suggesting that he ” support Trump”? Now MAGA followers are listless? This all you got, chump? These people are very tiresome.
Well, this just killed an already listless campaign. Re-launch right over the cliff, Gov Meatball!!! Way to go.
Please clap.
Is it me but once he went on the campaign trail he lost a lot of weight. His mouth is huge and not proportinate to the size of his small head. I bet Meatball cant wait to eat RingDings and DevilDogs again once he officially loses.
I watched a couple minutes from the cued-up point. This guy needs a handler behind him using both hands in order to minimize the head bobbing. Puppeteer’s strings were likely swaying much, but this little phone could not quite resolve them.
Wow Rhonda is ignorant
Jeb put DeSwampass up to it. Rod, they called me “low energy” when I have high energy for Uniparty rule.
What’s like “low energy” ? Hey Rod call them Truth Social people “listless”.
Great idea Jeb ! The influencers will really like it.
We need to pinch back hard on Ron 100 million MAGA supporters
Showtime
Four pillars. Energy policy is a fundamental underlying strategy to America First economic policy. Full spectrum energy dominance, which would finally defeat the COST PUSH inflation that has destroyed the economy ( along with the rate hikes to crush demand).
This is merely low level Psych 101 Projection as DeSatanmonius is an empty vessel of Deep State Con(DeStruction). Go away Skull and Bones Boy.
Correction: St. Elmo’s Club boy. I guess S & B considered him to be too much of a meatball even with the Bushies as his patrons.
DeSantis is in 3rd place behind Ramaswamy a guy who 90% of Republicans can’t even pronounce his first name!
We should really take this as a queue as to how the RepuliCON “Ruling Class” views their constituents. The Republican Party and Democrat Parties – as we know them – both need to die on the vine after this coup and after misleading the general public and squandering our resources for so long.
Clean sweep. Get them ALL out of here. The cavern is filling with gas and the canary is dead.
They always accuse you of what they are doing.
“LISTLESS” ‘VESSEL”
Sounds a lot like DeSanctus.
Moron. Too bad we all want less Ron, not More-Ron. Looks like he can’t even do moron right.
Like Obama, Ron is passive aggressive to the max.
At least “Deplorables” made some kind of sense COMING FROM a bat shit crazy prog like Hillary and her ilk.
“Listless”?
I wonder if RDS was supposed to say a “listing vessel,” not “listless” because it’s nigh impossible to call MAGA voters who
flock by the tens of thousands to rallies,
organize,
cheer America
go to work every day to care for their families,
raise their children in good times and bad,
work hard at being good citizens in their communities, cleaning up parks, feeding the homeless, volunteering in their community’s schools
exercise their right to vote
fight for the Constitution
volunteer for military service, etc
It’s unimaginable that anyone, even their greatest critics, call MAGA Ameicans “listless.”
I wondered this very thing. Listless? Hardly. We’re the working people keeping the country running, Rob, ya idjit.
You, on the other hand, are running a VERY listless campaign.
Maybe he thinks deplorables like my hillbilly ass are too dumb to know what listless means. But we’re not, Rob. And you sir are DONE in American politics.
I thought the same thing. It doesn’t make sense. Listless means no energy, spiritless, having no desire or interest.
I’m feeling a little listless tonight, but I taped (for painting), caulked (2 tubes of caulk), sanded, and started on the painting of my porch until the temp got to 95 degrees, then quit for 2 hours (to run to the store for more caulk and eat) before going back to it until dark.
Not at all like “the govna” who has plenty of time for meeting, interviewing, talking, traveling, and whining.
Listless – When a ship was listless, she was sitting still and upright in the water, with no wind to make her lean over (list) and drive ahead.
I think he means that we just sit in the water bobbing around and doing nothing but when some big, phony like PDJT shows up (ie., blows wind into our sails) then we just go where his wind blows us with no thought and control on our parts.
As in the doldrums.
there, we will be rocking and rolling;-)
You’re thinking too hard. He just needed an SAT word.
Yes, even though it was an attempted insult, it effectively is saying that these vessels are different, in that they’re not in danger of capsizing too far to the left/right
Well said TL. Well said, and absolutely true. We ARE the backbone of this country!
The one listless is the one lone pointing finger at the millions lot of M’AGA Americans. It’s the one who chose to be the outsider.
This fella has become tedious.
Yup.
DeSantis is excellent at rake stomping. Guess that makes him the Sideshow Bob of American politics. (That’s a Simpsons’ reference for the uninitiated.)
Bingo! Sideshow Bob sums it up well.
Sideshow Ron.
Stompin that Rake since 2023.
Is that what caused that knot on his forehead?
Stephen Wilkins…
Is that like Bidens, Robert Peters
Ron is that you?
Meatball is an idiot and he wants to be President? I don’t go on Twitter/X or Truth Social. Who needs advise from politicians where all the social media nut jobs all spend their time.
meatball will be lucky to finish his term as governor.
I appreciate now knowing about this maroon. I don’t Social Media anything. I’m fully aware of who and what Trump is.
MAGA is us patriots. Trump is just the vehicle. Because he fights the Rich Men North of Richmond.
And Rob wants to BE one.
Not watching…..too listless….
Ron’s ship has come in, listing badly, taking on water, with the R.A.T.S. jumping overboard.
It is the Marie Celeste. The lights are on but no one is home.
LOL. His unsecured cargo ballast shifted when RondeSalvage galvanized a half-baked plan on the wrong boat
Great, that name should stick!
His campaign is like watching a figure eight race where every time he comes into the X he gets hit by an opponent and every time he goes into a corner by himself he drives into a wall.
He’s degraded himself to a real POS.
There’s more of us than GOPe. For me there wasn’t any doubt, but for anyone who actually thought he’d be the comeback kid in ‘28, well, it ain’t gonna happen.
What a POS.
This is truly incredible.
I sit here at our cottage on Vancouver Island, having just read several articles and polls, ( for what they are worth) and everything points to a massive President Trump, and the MAGA agenda moving full steam ahead.
I open up the trusty CTH and watch 2 mins of this truly smug, smarmy, and yes sanctimonious swamp rat and just “ shake my head”
So all these terrific MAGA folks are listless.
F@#k me!
Cheers, and God bless PDJT.
A listless vessel…………
Talk about a listless vessel, what have you (Gov. Ron DeSantis) done and what do you plan on doing about the home insurance disaster that the people of FL are being forced to live through. The bill you signed last year did nothing to relieve the issue homeowners face. The price of home insurance has gone through the roof. the insurance companies are still demanding re-roofing perfectly good houses after 20 years even though the manufacturers warrant the shingles for thirty years. The roofers are happy (anxious) to turn inflated costs over to the insurance companies who then reject them and send the charges back to the home owners. Most reputable insurance companies are so tired of the situation, they no longer do business here. The state run insurance “company” is bankrupt without any funds. When are you going to fix Florida.
A failed small pond surely is of no merit to RDS since he’s on the plan to do on a presidential level what he thinks President Trump (could not) do. It’s laughably insane
If any of this were coherent enough for me to follow, I would be glad to respond. Otherwise, get a bucket and start bailing. Your ship is going down, and the captain doesn’t know how to swim.
He lost me between the light and the dark. Was that red-neck Shakespeare 🤣
Apparently so.
Listless Vessels or Basket of Deplorables. Who smeared MAGA better?
I don’t even have a Truth Social account… now I’m really questioning my existence…
mr. piddles I join you I don’t either, we both are in the listless vessel. He is a True Govnar!!!
