Disgraced former President Trump’s “Make America Great Again Inc” PAC on Wednesday filed a 15-page ethics complaint in Florida against Ron DeSantis, accusing the heels-wearing governor of waging a “shadow presidential campaign” without officially declaring it yet, NBC News reports.
The complaint, filed with the Florida Commission on Ethics, asks for an investigation into Tiny D’s “personally lucrative book tour” and alleges his continued state-level campaign contributions, among other things, “are unlawful because they serve his personal political objectives, are in furtherance of his personal financial gain at the expense of Florida taxpayers, and are intended to influence his official decision to resign from office,” and a lot of other grievances that might’ve sounded just a little bit more sincere if they came anyone other than Trump.
Not sure what to add here considering that, absent serving in elected office at the time, Trump is most certainly guilty of basically all of the same “shadow campaign” shit prior officially announcing he was running again back in November 2022, and that the complaint is meaningless and will almost certainly go nowhere, or that the words “Trump” and “ethics” go together like toothpaste and orange juice. But once you get past all that it’s a shrewd political move to file this complaint, we guess.
