FEMA has been positioning supplies and equipment to deal with the affected areas.

DeSantis won't have to ask. He will take credit for it, though.

If I was an American, I would be tempted to send DeSantis a box of paper towels for him to throw out to his citizens, he wants so much to be like Donald Trump.

11. No because DeSantis wants to emulate Trump and he is as stupid.
