    The headline is misleading. He’s saying they will lose and should just drop the lawsuit. He’s saying they can’t win against the state and that since their “skirmish” Disney hasn’t made a peep.

    He’s bragging and still saying the same things. He raised the same points as before and has the same issues.

    Edit: typo

      he’s trying to Trump his way out of this, but after Dolt 45 just caught 14 more charges of “your’e fucked” today in Georgia (for a total of NINETY-TWO* charges across 4 state and federal indictments), perhaps that’s not such a great strategy.

      *In New York, he faces 34 felony counts in connection with hush money payments to a porn star. In Florida, he faces 40 felony counts for hoarding classified documents and impeding efforts to retrieve them. In Washington, D.C., he faces four felony counts for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

      You’ve almost verbatim repeated what is in the headline. The only part you didn’t repeat is, verbatim, a quote from Ron DeSantis. I’m lost as to what you find misleading.

        I suppose it’s interpretation. I did t read the headline as bragging or continuing with the same fight but rather a plea to get them to drop the case. Because he’s moved on. I feel like my explanation provides more context to that missing piece.

          I did read the OP title as Ron wanting to back down so your clarification helped at least one person. :)
