he's on a failing crusade. he thought this would make him look cool but it makes him look like an idiot to almost everybody. good job, buddy 👏

A drop in perceptions doesn't matter if they keep electing him.

Yeah, I came here to say this isn’t a blow if it still works for him. I hate the guy as much as anyone else, but it this isn’t anything yet.

Better for him if his ambitions die this year instead of in a bunker with his dog and girlfriend after he's destroyed our economy and ruined millions of lives.

where would Disney go if they pulled out of Florida entirely? it'd have to be somewhere warmish, I cant see them moving to Maine/Michigan/Montana

They do have a large presence in California already. But I don't see them fully pulling out of Florida at all. They'll keep what exists here, but I wouldn't expect much further growth in the short-term.
