DeSantis curious — The Republican Party kink of trying out Ron “pudding fingers and white rubber boots” DeSantis; as opposed to sticking with and getting screwed by Trump and Trump drama. The most recent example of Trump drama being Trump being found liable for the sexual abuse in the E. Jean Carroll on May 9th 2023. The idea being: it may be better to be pudding fingered by DeSantis than to have the Republican Party FUCKED by Trump. Unfortunately or fortunately, Ron DeSantis doesn’t have a personality; so, actually trying out pudding fingers is usually quite disappointing. Urban Dictionary
