Gov. DeSantis is faced with a difficult decision: possibly anger President Trump by keeping a 50% occupancy mandate in place, or face blowback from Floridians increasingly concerned about the spread of the virus.

sweeping through his state could help decide whether President Donald Trump gives his acceptance speech next month at the Republican National Convention to a packed crowd — or to a lot of empty seats.DeSantis enacted to combat the spread of the coronavirus, which requires all big sports venues to operate at no more than 50 percent capacity, the governor's spokeswoman, Helen Aguirre Ferré, confirmed.

However, it's the"governor's call" on whether it's safe to lift the 50 percent mandate, Curry spokeswoman Marjorie Dennis said Monday via email."Mayor would not have to sign off." Florida has recorded 282,435 cases and 4,380 deaths, according to an NBC News tally. And the two-week death total is up by 90 percent over the previous two weeks. There were 487 deaths June 15-28 and 927 more June 29-July 12.Democratic governor of North Carolina

In stepped DeSantis, a loyal Trump ally, with the offer to help the president and bring some much-needed tourist dollars to Florida by holding the splashiest parts of Trump's renomination in Jacksonville.

Both are failures

Florida coronavirus death toll today 100+. Republican mantra; kill as many as possible to please Trump.

He should tell trump to piss up a rope donny's gone in 24 weeks 🙄

Ooooooh, trumps anger! Desantis is a coward and a traitor to the people of Florida. The whole state should be shut down.

GovRonDeSantis should resign, both he and 45 are negligent and irresponsible.

Why doesn’t GovRonDeSantis admit he was wrong about the virus spreading & do SOMETHING for the people in Florida?

Nothing to debate DeAthsanta, cancel convention and concentrate on flattening the curve which has yet to happen despite your big man attitude back in May. Admit that you FUBAR’d the situation & make it right.

He's a wimp... he'll do what Donald says.

This is nothing new life is fully of risk, it’s up to the individuals. The China flu is one of several new flues we handled in the last several years. It’s the fear mongering from the corrupt media & the left thats the most dangerous & contagious

Who do you serve GovRonDeSantis ? *trump or us, your constituents?

MSNBC is a disgrace

Hmmm. Should I show loyalty to the president or to the people I've been entrusted with keeping safe? Decisions decisions

Desantis ARE you SCARED of trump? If not...well BE AN ADVOCATE FOR THE HEALTH AND WELLBEING OF YOUR CONSTITUENTS IN FLORIDA PEOPLE BEFORE PROFIT VOTE FOR JOE WEAR A MASK BLACK LIVES MATTER SOCIAL DISTANCE SCIENCE NOT SKEPTICISM 🗽🗽🗽⚖⚖⚖🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😷😷😷✌

GovRonDeSantis hmmmm don’t think he’s up to the decision DeSantisKillsFlorida

Worry more about the people that voted him in, instead of one old man who will be out on his ear come November.

....GovRonDeSantis also needs to start worrying that “out of control” Florida is directly staring at also being quarantined by 49 states; and that’s gonna kill the tourism biz in Fl. he’ll be finished politically.

No this is simple. Do the right thing for your state. Why are morons always in charge?

Cancel it

Imagine that sending thousands of people to their deaths may be the cost to Florida if DeSantis decides not angering his boss Donnie the Deluded and Dangerous is more important.

Skepmi Kill or sicken your constituents to keep Trump happy. Or don't. This would have been a much accurate summary/tweet.

Well-we just have to sit back and wait for it....

By now the people must know that the “Republican Virus” is, at best, very scary & 138K deaths in USA. It’s a choice between forcing the morons not to cram into the Trump rallies or letting them self exterminate. Were it not for the collateral damage.....nah! ..too close to call!

This is an easy answer for anyone with healthy morals: He doesn’t serve the President. He serves his constituents. Do what’s best for them.

Florida first DeSantis NotDyingForDeSantis NotDyingForTrump WearAMask

He’s not facing anything, he’s handling this perfectly!

50 percent mandate for sports is being ignored all over the state.

A familiar story. DeSantis flies too close to the sun (tRump) and gets burned like the rest.

Or just admit that you and the people who voted for you are Aholes and then resign

GovRonDeSantis it’s not difficult, do what helps and saves Americans. 🤦🏻‍♀️

His re-election isn’t ON DeSantis and this one decision. Trumps already blown it. Floridians lives are infinitely more important than a re-election blow. So is getting the economy back open.

Trump's Republicans harm Americans, more like enemies of the people than leaders. 😥

Grow a pair and say NO!!!! Life first!

trumper, citizens trumper, citizens Such a tough choice for any GOP governor or lawmaker to make. Unfortunately, the corruptor-in-chief always wins. Lives are at stake!!!! Do the right thing NOW!!!!

Maybe a spike after 4th of July. Who is getting tested? Do they have symptoms? So many variables to Have answers too. It is so very sad that we can’t trust the media anymore to give us the correct information

Wouldn't it be wonderful if DuhSantis would do the right thing, but I find it doubtful.

What an amoeba without a spine!

Trump is only one vote in Florida he might wanna consider the rest of the voters

Nothing about committed to ensuring less cases and fewer deaths?

Is a convention for each party even needed anymore. This year the risk vs the reward isn't worth it. Overall I don't think its needed anymore.

The question is why should there be divided loyalties?

America is not surprised that ANY state our President wants to campaign , miraculously the numbers will go up! Sick of the hypocrisy. It’s very sad that Congress does not not work for America. Greedy. WalkAwayFromDemocrats

Got my popcorn ready.

Anger the king, how dare he!

RonDeSantisFL Do what’s “right” for your fellow humans in Florida. Not what “pleases” realDonaldTrump

Is it really so hard to choose between the lives of people in your state or appeasing the big dumb idiot?

He’d rather kiss trumps ass then help the ppl of fl....

Easy decision if based on saving lives.

More FAKE NEWS! DeSantis, got this! So STOP CREATING STUPID FAKE FEAR! Florida is going to be fine!

If We Ever Get Our hands on Trump's Tax Returns, it Will be such a Tutorial

Or 3....ignore the panic porn and falsified numbers and let you propaganda pushers and leftist zombies keep pissbagging. I would go with 3

Sure

ETTD

Have mean things said about you or be responsible for thousands of deaths...

Either serve the people or serve the party? Is that a tough decision for you governor? VOTE ALL BLUE FLORIDIANS! It's time to start undoing your mistake!

Got to put people over POTUS45

To hell with trump 👹

Well this is your test: Humanity vs Trump

Make Trump angry or let thousands die. Man that is a tough choice.

These governors in the cult made one fundamental mistake. They failed to acknowledge that cults don't exist for the members, but only for the 'infallible' leader. As with all of trumps plebs they will be put to the torch when it suits him. He will take away ALL your guns one day.

Anyone see freddurst lately?

NY death 32,000 Florida 4,200.

I’ll take one guess at what he’ll end up doing...

For some reason the news only seems to focus on Red states. Odd 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hmm... I could save hundreds but it might upset the Rat King.

What happened to the herd immunity goal using the young and healthy? Won’t happen if they are in lockdown. Would have to wait for vaccine. And when will that happen?

The Las Vegas betting line has GOP Governor DeSantis bending to the will of Herr Trump 8 to 1. Or you could say he's bending over.

Cram as many traitor trump drones as possible into that facility. The more the merrier.

The recession is coming and virus has a low mortality rate. It is watch your future disappear or get a mild cold.. your choice ... libtards are such ScumMedia lemming CNN BBCBreaking ScumMedia

He will give into Trump’s demands. There are already 15000 cases of coronavirus a day. So what if another 10000 a day is added to that. At least Florida’s governor will make his friend happy.

Oh, shit. Ronnie better kiss Donnie’s fat ass. Oh, wait, Donnie isn’t his girlfriend or wife. Florida is his job. Is Donnie Ronnie’s job? Hmmmm 🤨

DeSantis is a model Trump Republican—No brain.

If you are a politician and you are not focused on saving lives right now...you are f--king up!

Open everything up.

This should absolutely be standing room only. The party rejects science, let them own it with their bodies. GOP

By all means please don’t consider doing what is right!

He’ll choose Trump.

Just keep the mandate-the safety and health of his state is the most important thing-grow a spine-to hell with Trump SocialDistancing

I live in California, I have family all over california. They have friends all over california. No one directly or indirectly knows anyone who tested positive. Can people sound off if they actually have friends or family with this virus? Honor system please

He wanted the RNC. Not he's got the RNC. Good luck with that.

They virus will spread no matter what. Everyone will eventually get it, many won’t even know. People need to chill the fuck out. And media needs to calm down.

Virus is a media hoax.

Really? That is the decision? I would have thought that as a governor of a state, it would be deciding which action would save the most lives. Exclamation point!

I hope desantis is ready for jail because that is his next stop

Pedal to the metal baby!

False. As a FL resident, along with the many I speak to, we are all voting for both of them again.

go ahead, and fill up that venue... shoulder to shoulder, shouting loudly without face masks - the MAGAites, many of whom are high risk category for COVID-19 infection... when the people in charge don't give a ratsARSE about other people's lives...

We are having our convention.

It's astounding to me how often Republicans have such difficulty with just doing the right thing.

Maybe remind him who’s vote matters more

Trump tanked on his own, he's Incompetent!

How the fuck is that a ‘difficult decision?’

choptopmoseley You shouldn't have to be worried about pissing off the 'president,' POTUS should either have the fortitude to handle it like a grown adult or resign.

And if we know ol' Gov. DeSantis, he will make more poor choices.

Even that older supremacist who was yelling something about white and power left FL by now.

He will please his master

Repeating bias stories now. Great.

Hmm? Trump or people’s lives. I’ll help you make the right decision. “Trump SUCKS! Who gives a shit about him!!”

If DeSantis sees this as a true dilemma, then he is a low life. Don”t let Floridians die unnecessarily to avoid a Trump “mean girl” tweet. COVID19

GovRonDeSantis is another GOP AntiChrist. His eye is on GOPconvention. We are running out of ICU beds, Remdesivir Plasma PPE. He needs to phaseback. We’re tired of hearing testing too much for Coronavirus increases ’s. It wouldn’t increase Hospitalizations & Death

'increasingly concerned'

GovRonDeSantis should stop worrying about whether or not Trump is happy and do the job he was elected to do...the health and safety of Florida's residents should be his ONLY concern!!!

lol Republicans afraid of the wrath of the least popular president in recent memory at the absolute nadir of his power

GovRonDeSantis Should have never opened Disney World and other attractions. How many people are going to get infected or infect others with Corona Virus? How many are going on vacation to DIE?

Gee I wonder what he should do? Give me an effing break right now, Why the hell is this even a concern? Save Floridians or risk re-election? What the hell kind of world do we live in?

Trump is playing nice to all minorities Black and Hispanic latinos, talking really good words that he doesn't really feel because he is trying to fool us like he did in 2016. Not this time he is all done. ✌

Ooh, tough one. What are the betting odds in Vegas right now?

Cry me a river.

What's difficult about saving lives?

Naw, he’s fine! You’re fake News!

This perfectly captures how badly US journalists have failed Americans. This headline implies that there is an actual choice between protecting public health and avoiding dumbass realDonaldTrump tweets. What a fucking morons

Difficult decision of his own making.

DeSatinKillsFloridians trumpKillsAmericans DeSatinUnqualifiedtolead

Go with your people. Trump is toast. If you do right by your people, humble up, help save lives, you might be able to turn it around and come out a hero. Just sayin. Help the people. They are the key.

De Santis is a bum licker, he will sacrifice people to stay sweet with the Man-slaughterer in Chief...as he already has.

Desantis is an idiot

Guessing he will pick Trump over the citizens of Florida...just a guess

Hmmmmm. Either have more blood on your hands from thousands of people, or cause a temper tantrum from a man child. Such a tough decision.

509ShawnG GovRonDeSantis has do what's best for florida an not realDonaldTrump COVID19 is real not a hoax

Trumpers such Covidiots

We are not concerned. It’s a bad cold. Elderly stay quarantined like every flu and respiratory outbreak. It’s not complicated. Stop manipulating the data and the people. Security at the expense of privacy is unconstitutional! Trust God not government! Rise up!!

GovRonDeSantis are you the Governor for the people of Florida OR the Governor for Trump ?

Oh he is actually dumb enough to make the worst decision in history! Either way he is out! Out in Trumps eyes or out of office for killing so many Floridians!

How about focus on saving Americans lives.

The question he needs to answer is who he works for.

What is difficult between saving the lives of your constituents or pissing of an orange petulant child?

He doesn't care he will kill them all for the little king of he needs to.

This is so stupid. Please a tinpot wannabe dictator that will be voted out in less than 4 months or save lives. What a toss up. Great headline there, folks.

He put himself in this position. And after listening to him speak today, it's a wonder he actually has the job he has. Time to decide if he wants reelected or be a trump gopher.

Or you could just do whatever is best for the state that elected you

North Carolina must really be glad they tossed that hot potato

I live in Florida these allegations on the corona virus is false. Numbers are made up

Trump or literally the state you run hmm

Seriously? Hasn’t Trump pretty much let Governors work the problem the best for thier states? But go ahead and try to build more divisions in our country.

Call it ‘a protest’ and anything goes!

FLORIDA OR OTHER GOP STATES DESERVES PUNISHMENTS FROM PRESIDENT BECAUSE WHY THEY VOTED TO HIM? BECAUSE OF REPUBLICAN PARTY SO NOW PARTY FROM SENATE TO HOUSE ARE BLINDFOLDED!

Why is anybody afraid to anger the man child. Seriously, the guy's a complete joke.

Desantis will lose w trump! Trump’s campaign manager is a felon. His deputy campaign manager is a felon. His national security advisor is a felon. His foreign policy advisor is a felon. His personal lawyer is a felon. His long time advisor is a felon.

Smorgasborg! This is how the virus sees us. There are no 'States'.Jumping lung to lung, it travels freely. We're playing whack-a-mole. We, as a Nation, must shut down or millions will die. The States must Unite! COVID19 realDonaldTrump GovRonDeSantis CAgovernor senatemajldr

Am I the only one to who that style of the stage and screen he's on and in front of looks just so '3rd Reich'?

KennethHowardC3

Serve the people, Governor

It’s life or politics

Or maybe look at it like.... maybe saving some lives?

FL is likely to peak in the next 7-10 days and start a slow decline, then a fast decline in early August. Late August this isn't likely the consternation is looks like it would be on 7/13.

I would be concerned... but I'm not 90.

Time to serve the people you represent, your homie isn't your homie if he doesn't care about your people.

Now when you say 'difficult'...

I say you listen to your damn voters and residents GovRonDeSantis CLOSE YOUR STATE.

why does he have to consider how the orange would react

Florida and Oklahoma are in some kinda contest for dumbest state.

You act in the best interests of the people of Florida. Is it really that difficult to do what’s right?

Lol DeSantis is an incompetent

If Desantis wants to save his state, he will close it down completely, no half measures this time. Life and death, Mr. DeSantis.

He's busy trying to push Tx Gov Abbott out of Trump's ass.

I live in Jacksonville and this is not against republicans even if it was democrats or anyone else. We should not be hosting a convention in the mist of pandemic and while Florida is hottest of spots right now. It’s should be canceled.

Trump over people that elected him

Too me it’s an easy answer. GovRonDeSantis needs the votes in Florida, which I hope he does not receive. realDonaldTrump is most assuredly not going to get DeSantis reelected.

Hmmmmmmmmm........what to do..........what to do........ ...........try and keep more people alive or make trumpy happy? We all know which one DeSantis will pick.

I’m sorry but who elected GovRonDeSantis in the first place...realDonaldTrump or the people of Florida? Seems like an easy choice....but I don’t live in the swamp.

Difficult? Only cowards find it difficult to to the right thing. The rest of us just do it.

This should not be a difficult decision at all.

Count on him to make the more gutless and wrongheaded decision.

Either way it's the Dems fault, amirite? 😉🙄

Just a matter of time.

Why is this even a 'thing'. Obama, Bush W, Clinton, Bush HW, Reagan, Carter, Ford, Nixon - NOBODY WOULD CARE. Piss the bitch off, idiot. Do it, or you will be the idiot. Your call, boss. Fucking pussy.

I’ll take “face blowback from constituents” for $200 Alex🧐. The governor started off so well. He is like the cow that gave a good bucket of milk and kicked it over. At this point, he’s either gonna lead or follow. What’s your decision GovRonDeSantis🤔 prove me wrong.

Wait what? Make one person angry or have hundreds, if not thousands, die? How is that difficult? How?

MAGA 2020

One of these options could save thousands of lives, and the other is placating a child. How is this a difficult choice?

Anger a baby or allow your people to die Tough choice....

realDonaldTrump GovRonDeSantis When it comes to lives that's an easy decision Mr DeSantis and its FUCK TRUMP

Desantis stole the election and no one looked into it and now people have died as a result. What a joke.

OR, realize thousands of people a day are being tested, so that would account for an uptick in infections but not hospitalizations!

Whatever the wrong thing is ... that's what he'll do.

He will happily commit political suicide. Trump will promise him something on the back-end if he wins reelection-cabinet position of some sort. It's always transactional with DJT. But he never keeps up his end of the bargain, so...

Anger one or kill many. Shouldn’t be a decision at all if you “care” about your people. Don’t worry, he will find a new target the next day. Do the right thing!

There is no choice or decision here. ProtectThePeople

Imagine being that morally bankrupt. I’m thankful that our governor (GovPritzker), along with a few other governors, have done the right thing in order to save countless lives.

“Trump be mad at me or let 1000’s die”.....hard choice for the cult.

FedtheEffUp1 Spoiler alert: He’s gonna choose trump. They all do in the end.

geoff9cow Hmm, get drumph angry or kill tens of thousands of citizens? Tough choice😠

Loyalty to trump or lie and deceive people adding to the higher illness and death

Make him accept it virtually from his bunker

FFS.

GOVERNMENTS HAVE TWO PROBLEMS TO SOLVE: ✌ COVID19 AND THE ECONOMY. KEEPING 40 DAYS WOULD STOP THE PANDEMIC NATIONS MUST UNITE AND SOLVE THE ECONOMY.

Gov. DeSantis is a tool like all republicans! Simple - Stop killing Americans!! Lock them all up!

50,000 Floridians will DIE before Labor Day Weekend comes to an end.

DeSantis should give his so call jewels to trump like the REST OF THE GOP. LET HIS VOTERS JUST CONTINUE THE PATH OF NO RETURN.

FL like every where else needs to peak so we can get back to normal faster. The vulnerable should stay at home and quarantine. No one wants you to get sick and masks aren’t protecting anyone.

No matter what lives should be saved. Haven't we lot enough people?

If he actually thought of himself as a public servant it would be an easy decision.

Sorry, I do not understand how this is a decision for anyone with morals.

Why in ur opinion there are only 2 choices

This dude cares more about not making Trump angry than whether Floridians live or die. 🤦🏾‍♀️

DeSantos we really going to vote you Out if you kill or harm us. Do the right thing!

Not true

sherylkahn Yeah he is definitely not getting re-elected by Floridians

I would worry more about the safety of the people in Florida! If President Trump wants to catch the COVID-19, that is his choice!

Don’t want to anger daddy.

If he chooses trump which all signs point to yes on that account, then he like trump will lose their next election.

Do you really want your child asking you why only white people can eat at a restaurant or drink from a fountain? Or seeing black people randomly beaten on the streets? Have you really thought about what white control of a nation means? Wouldn't you rather a nation of kindness?

He LIVES in Florida whose citizens should be his FIRST concern but he's corrupt like his 'boss.'

How about..just do the right thing...I know..I know..to polically correct

I bet a miracle will happen and all the Covid numbers will drastically reduce by mid August allowing DeSantis to drop the 50% rule.

Choose keeping people alive please GovRonDeSantis

He opened Disney world with indoor activities.. let us have a convention fur a few days !!

DeShithead won't do anything to upset the Fuhrer.

Upset his master or let a few thousand more people die. Very difficult choice.

This is such bullshit speculating reporting

Hmmm, who does he work for?

Trumps a sinking ship, you would think a smart guy like Desantis could figure that out! 🤣😂🥴

Anyone is an idiot if they are taking Covid advice from DeSantis or Trump.... when is the last time you went to the emergency room & called a politician over a Doctor

Don’t worry, no one will show up. And if they do they’ll all be wearing masks and social distancing. LOL

This picture is the stuff nightmares are made of.

Trump speaks for God just ask his spiritual adviser

They are more afraid of Trump than dying from the virus?

Does governor desantis have no balls or something?

GovRonDeSantis if you're more worried about realDonaldTrump 's feeling than those of your constituents, who elected you and trusted you to put their interests and concerns first...JUST RESIGN. It's a no brainer.

I give up. We're all dead.

If I had to guess. Desantis will stay hidden up trump’s ass.

F DeSantis. That's his job to make hard decisions in the best interest of FL. He wanted the job, now do it properly. He's already botched it royally.

He just needs to do what is right and not what he thinks is popular

How is this difficult

With a whole 132 hospitalizations across the entire state of Florida today? NBC - The fools.

Pull up your Big Boy pants, mask up, 50% good start. The life you save could be mine. This virus is going away next week.

If he cares about that weak, small, sadistic sociopathic narcissist, who has no control over him or the State of Florida, instead of about his own residents, he deserves to be run off out of office this very second.

Ron, if you just frigging resign, human race will thank you. Tuck Frump!

If any gov was so concerned about the spread of the virus they would keep protestors off the streets

How about: do whats right for the safety of the people in your state and forget everything else. GovRonDeSantis dotherightthing

Don’t worry .. when you have a job with Drump after the election. Openings.. dishwasher ?

Go to Florida as planned....forget the libs and fear mongerers

The president made it official today. He is now by far the smartest person to ever live.

Govenor DeSantis, it’s now time for you to ignore Trumps ignorant and devastating behavior and focus on looking out for your people in FL! Grow up please!

❤😍

Trump and his family are safe. They have all the equipment they need to screen everyone for the virus. They have temperature guns and misting stations. You on the other hand are forked.

This is only a difficult decision if you’re a complete sociopath.

They are both losers

Whatever Trump has on this little twit must be really good!! This one has lost control and people are sick because he let his guard down!! He is a coward and needs to do what is best for the people, not Dopey!!

I feel picking the health of your citizens should be a no brainer, but DeSantis would need a brain first.

Easy call for the governor. He'll go with Trump.

Easy call! You are a servant of the people. Do the right thing for the people.

FloridaNewswire floridanews__ floridanewscast recall this sob now before it is irreversible level, tourism is going to die because of him

Is Desantis governor of Florida or a disciple of Mr Trump? While you doing nothing Governor.Make sure the voting machine are working properly this year.Thank!

OMG. People who voted him into office, give yourselves a pat on the back.

Desantis is a COWARD and a FAILURE. He doesn't care about Floridians lives all he wants is to please trump.

Difficult decision? He’ll ignore the law and put in 50% more people beyond capacity

It’s too late. DeSantis is better off doing what he did earlier, which is nothing.😒

That would be sooooo sweet. So glad NC got rid of trump.

Maybe the Gov. should grow a pair and keep his citizens safe! screw45

He cant piss off Trump. Open up the state, 100%. Let all of them run wild and then he can blame it on all the alligators, snakes and ocean.

Again with not just reporting news. Had to insert a “possible anger President Trump” to make it political, and show how incapable you are of just reporting a news story.

Quite a problem, upsetting a imbecilic dotard or saving lives of your voters. What to do what to do.

Republicans are greedy, moronic cowards. That's why we're in this catastrophic disaster.

CoronaDon Floridacoronavirus DeSantisResign

Is this why DeSilly was not invited to sniff along behind 45 during his SoFlo visit last Friday?

He enthusiastically encouraged the RNC move to Jacksonville, so you get what you sow...

Anyone attending a convention during a pandemic gets what they deserve. If the Governor of Florida allows the convention with large crowds should be charged criminally.

Profit over life... ☠☠🥴🤬

You govern in the best interests of the people!

It’s not just the RNC. DeSantis is failing us ALL in Florida. He is lying to the people who elected him and downplaying the severity of our outbreak. He is trying to force schools to open in Phase 1 counties against his own guidelines!!! DeSantisResignNow

So does he want to kill more people or make Trump mad? Wow. Tough decision.

Let's see...stand tall for the people you were elected by to look out for, or; weak blind subservient follower fealty to a CrookedTrump IMPEACHED IMBECILE idiotinthewhitehouse ? Smart actions per Science to get COVID19 down to mngbl lvls & SaveLives or DerelictionOfDuty ?

Look at that dumb face.

What concerned of spread floridians? All that's happening outside of Miami is outrage of unconstitutional mandates like mask .

You know what makes the decision less difficult? Actually considering the Health and Welfare of Floridians. That should make it easy to know what to do. Spoiler, It's all the things he hasn't done.

At least Desantis can talk. Although he is about as bright as his boss. I do not understand how we elect people who are so disconnected with citizens. Why don't they listen to science? It's in their face every day and they cannot see it. Hospitals are to capacity in South Florida

Politics vs public health? There should be no question as to the next move. Just say you were wrong and do the right thing.

Lets see.. Care about the voice of 1 or 21,000,000 ?

Keep open

Make trump mad or kill your constituents, who can say which way he should go 🤷‍♀️

Who's gonna elect you if you kill all of them off?

An audience of one, or an audience of millions? Obviously you favor the one, at least if you succeed and everyone else is dead, that one may reward you.

Another COVID-19 rally , it’s a hoax ........ the president of the divided states of America has this handled

Sweet Jesus. Is this a difficult decision for him?

For people who think voting is a waste of time: look at what's happening in America under Trump or Florida under De Santis. Register and vote in November. And help save America.

It’s scary to think that a decision actually needs to be made as to whether he should try to save lives or risk receiving mean tweets from a middle school bully. What is there to decide?

RonDeSantisFL Time for you to grow up and make a big boy decision!

How is this even a decision? As a governor, to care for your people or kowtow to a lunatic whose approach to this pandemic is killing people in your state? This country is insane.

Lol why aren’t y’all talking about New York’s death rates

Look at trump's history..... the same will continue happening... America will get morally, economically and spiritually bankrupt! CNN foxnews DictatorTrump conman EVIL StableGenious distroyfreedom unamerican

Open up entirely. You say masks work. Then open up! Not 50%, 100%!!!

Trump needs to take his convention somewhere ELSE! We are NOT Florida’s political pawns!!!! Do the convention virtually or go to another Red State NOT FL

Life and death isn't that hard a decision for most people

50%? That's probably still too much. More new cases in Florida then in all of Europe combined? Tell DeSantis Florida is now the worst & stop trying to 1-Up NY/Cuomo. That ship saild long ago & just look foolish trying. Cuomo beat DuhSantis by a mile & still humbly offered help

Blow back? Desantis should be dragged out office for his total failure handling coronavirus in Fla. gall to brag boast covid19 over hyped. Floridians infected by 10s thousands, dying by the 1000s VoteOutGOP SaveOurDemocracy SaveAmericanLives TrumpDeathToll135K

He can go one step further and deny indoor events for more than 50 people. Then again, perhaps only 50 people will show up. Trump ain't that popular anymore!

Political careers that live by trumpism will die by trumpism.

First, grow testicles.

Ron DeSantis couldn’t lead people out of a broom closet. Florida would be better off if he resigned and operated an ice cream truck, instead.

Being a leader for entire state requires tough decisions. Does not require being a lap dog to the dictator

I would go with common sense above political stupidity.

To hell with trump and what he thinks, do what's right for the people.

It's really not a difficult decision.

Stop 🛑 the hypothesis! Be serious!

A hell of his own making.

Floridians know that covid hysteria is a hoax intended to destroy they country and elect Biden to rebuild in the globalist model.

Hows it that even a choice?

All lives matter? From reading this, maybe. Who will Gov. DeSantis choose?

You live and die by your choices. It’s as simple as that.

It's really not difficult at all!!!

corona-tion convention

How about this: Take care of your state & your people for the next 4 months, get your state well and tell realDonaldTrump to eat your asshole. Vote him out of office and we pick up the broken pieces and rebuild. Or, kiss his orange ass & your state, your people & job goodbye.

Tallahassee Trump tool Ron DeSantis failed to prep for the fall of Atlantis. COVID caseloads? He shrugged; never once seemed too bugged. For constituents? A praying mantis! Stonekettle TheRickWilson RonDeSantisFL RepValDemings 🗽

F*** Trump! He doesn’t care about people.

At this point might as well fill the whole place up with trump supporters and let Jesus decide 🤷🏽‍♀️

GOP GOVs IN TX FL AND AR. ALLOWING TRUMP TO MAKE LIFE OR DEATH DECISION ON THEIR STATES. TREASONOUS TRUMP SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FOR CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY.

His choice will tell Floridians all they need to know about his priorities.

Choice do what is right for the people of your State who elected you, or anger Trump who may be out the door in a few months...

Why is the decision difficult? The FL governor need to do the right thing to mitigate the spike! What is so difficult about doing that?

How is... safeguarding the health of my constituency to whom I've sworn an oath vs. remaining in the good graces of a volatile, vindictive political figure framed as a 'difficult decision'?

He’s the people of Florida’s Governor, not realDonaldTrump’s. If he’s loyal to Trump & not the people, he needs to go. We need to elect better humans as our leaders.

I don’t know, this just seems like a no-brainer to me. Then again, we expect too much from these soulless ghouls.

Thoughts should be about the people! Their well being. Scrap that Covrally!

He's still an asshole...either way.

If you have any moral compass at all do for your citizens and forget about the Clown 🤡 in the White House!

GovRonDeSantis can go to hell. He is a wuss and lapdog for the worst President in history...but that’s ok. Ronnie is following suit as the worst, most incompetent Governor Florida has ever had. 15000 infections a day! Great job Ronnie!

Sounds like he’s between a dick and a hard place there

Keep allowing this idiot to dictate your every move Ron. Floridians will not forget or forgive you for not protecting them.

That is a difficult decision? Why be governor then?

You have a headline regarding Fl numbers but no mention of the numbers in Cali? Why is that? Cali is way worse...oh, I see...it’s political and your not allowed to talk about blue states.

A solution would be to cancel the election to insure that everybody stays safe and then have the election in 4 years.

Why the hell is that a difficult decision Do what science dictates, and tell Trump to pack sand.

People's lives matter, this is a no brainer which makes it extremely difficult to understand for Trump and DeSantis!

Do the right thing. Enforce the capacity

It should be an easy decision.

Hmmm, please the narcissist in the White House or take care of the public health? Oh whatever shall he do?

Everyday I tweet Mini Trump to get off the Trump train! Instead he stays on the Trump train, LIES and DENIES to Floridians

it's not difficult

He doesn't work for Individual q, he works for the people of Florida.

(Hopefully) President Flunk is about to lose his job, and that will be the end of him (outside of any future lawsuits and/or jail time). Floridians will not stop being Floridians until they die. This should not be a difficult decision.

Shouldn't we frame this question in terms of health rather than political outcomes?

Floridians should demand DeSantis' immediate resignation. When stupid decisions result in lives lost, throw him out with the other garbage!

'Difficult decision' says it all.

Grow a pair RonDeSantisFL

He’ll support Trump. He doesnt care about his constituents anymore than Trump does. GovRonDeSantis
