Heels-wearing Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and disgraced former President Trump may end up crossing paths in person Saturday at an important sportsball match between the teams representing two opposing educational institutions based in that one corn state all the politics sites keep talking about when covering the smashmouth gridiron championship contest between the star offensive standouts charging down the field to the Iowa caucus kickoff, the Washington Examiner reports.
DeSantis will show up to a parking lot in which supporters of the two sportsball teams – but predominantly the “home” team – gather to consume large quantities of partially burned meat products and foamy yellow fermented alcoholic water dispensed from metal barrels. DeSantis will feign loyalty to the “home” team and is likely to have memorized a number of factoids about their past successes in matches that occurred in prior years in order to convince the supporters that he is just like them. For his part Trump will simply mumble that the “home” team is tremendous at sportsball but the “visiting” team is formidable as well. A marquee showdown may develop on the GOP field if the feud between Trump and DeSantis develops into a key matchup in person and the smaller, lighter DeSantis is forced to put up a Hail Mary offense while Trump runs the scoreboard.
In all non-bizarre rambling bullshit seriousness we’re hoping they get to meet in person, it gets caught on camera, and – most importantly – DeSantis grows some balls and says something that really pisses off Trump in front of a bunch of people. Unlikely, but it’d be one for the highlight reel.
