The Internet Is Having A Field Day Over Ron DeSantis Being Physically Unable To Smile Like A Human Being
I hate everything about it.
For some reason that no one can figure out, Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis and the governor of California, Gavin Newson, debated on Fox News last night.
I have no idea why this debate is even happening but this is brutal from Newsom 🏆 https://t.co/XUEcqQiQNS

Clips of DeSantis being steamrolled by Newsom are going viral.

"You're trolling folks trying to ... out-Trump Trump, and by the way, how's that going for you? You're down 41 points in your own state," Newsom said.
Newsom: I’m the only guy here that is a border state governor. You’re trolling folks trying to find migrants to play political games to get some news so you can out-Trump Trump and by the way… how is that going for you? You’re down 41 pts in your own state pic.twitter.com/RezT7tlIT3

At one point, you could see DeSantis visibly dying inside when Newsom said, “One thing ... that [Ron and I] have in common is, neither of us will be the nominee for our party in 2024."
Newsom: But there's one thing in closing that we have in common, is neither of us will be the nominee for our party in 2024. pic.twitter.com/zxdZE9ebyt

In another instance, DeSantis posed with a photo of human shit.
As a former media trainer, I would not have advised DeSantis to hold up a photo of poop. pic.twitter.com/yxzzleO0lb

He even got angry at Newsom for saying he believed in science.
Newsom: You followed science. You followed facts.

DeSantis: That's not true.
Newsom: You even wore a mask in September. pic.twitter.com/M44moG5X6o
It was brutal!
desantis' campaign manager should've demanded no side-by-sides lol pic.twitter.com/f89limlwVZ

One thing that followed ol' Ronnie throughout the debate was his "smile."

In case you didn't know, the man doesn't know how to.
I've never seen an alleged human struggle this much to perform the act of smiling like DeSantis. pic.twitter.com/fHVtf7iihI

Clips of him painfully attempting this simple human emotion are going around X, formerly known as Twitter.
Some political consultant clearly told Ron DeSantis he needs to smile more and this is the unfortunate result pic.twitter.com/H4nDGLCuHo

People agree: He should give up on smiling.

"I don't know who on DeSantis' campaign told him to smile more but it's a mistake," this person said.

Ultimately, the debate definitely didn't go as planned for Ron!
Is there anything creepier than when Ron DeSantis tries to smile? pic.twitter.com/0DdiUAXlgr

After this whole politics thing, VH1 should cast him on a reboot of Charm School. He'd be perfect for that.
The DeSantis fake smile is eerie AF. pic.twitter.com/F79oj42BnG
