The worst person you know just made…

The Trump campaign reacted with equanimity and charity toward the hilarious, Elon-related misadventures of the latest overhyped Florida Republican to challenge him for the Republican nomination:
No one liked Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ campaign launch more than former President Donald Trump.
“Wow. The DeSanctus TWITTER launch is a DISASTER!” Trump wrote on the Truth Social media platform. “His whole campaign will be a disaster. WATCH!”
Schadenfreude — the German word for taking pleasure in another’s failure — might understate the glee Trump and his team felt as DeSantis’ glitch-ridden Twitter audio-chat with billionaire SpaceX founder Elon Musk failed to lift off for about 20 minutes.
As hundreds of thousands of listeners logged off, Trump allies shared images to represent their excitement: a glass of wine and a laughing-to-tears emoji among them. Trump quickly posted a video to Truth Social that showed contrasting images of his boisterous campaign announcement last year and a Twitter screen showing the DeSantis discussion “Preparing to launch.”
But Trump advisers also used the moment to argue that the foul-up was reflective of DeSantis and his operation on the whole.
“Glitchy. Tech issues. Uncomfortable silences. A complete failure to launch,” Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said. “And that’s just the candidate.”
Here’s the replay of the howlingly unfunny debut of the three Putin enthusiast stooges for those who missed it:

Elon has proven beyond any doubt that he’s incapable of being intentionally funny, but inadvertently is another story.
