The reviews are in--DeSantis bombs in London:

@MeidasTouch
The reviews are in from DeSantis’ trip to Britain — and they are absolutely brutal.

DeSantis met with titans of British industry in an event co-hosted by Lloyd’s of London — the world’s largest insurance marketplace. And to say they were unimpressed is an understatement.

British business chiefs described DeSantis’ performance as “horrendous” and “low-wattage.”

But that’s not all.

One U.K. business figure said DeSantis “looked bored” and “stared at his feet.”

Another noted that “nobody in the room was left thinking, ‘this man’s going places’.”

DeSantis’ trip abroad was a complete and utter disaster from start to finish.

1. Is this typical of a governor? What was the point of this international tour?

Meanwhile ignoring recent flooding in his state?

And yes - The Brits are seeing what we are seeing. He's not ready for prime time. I wonder if he will decide not to run for 24 and wait till 2028? His ego probably won't let him do that.

And possibly he's looking for experience and connections overseas. Ha!
Glad to hear the Brits weren't impressed with him either.

all willy-nilly like? Does he make a phone and say hey, I'm dropping by, hook me up with millions of dollars in security and perks for the mrs. But then again isn't that just like them, the Christians to force their belief of hate for others on everyone.
