Late in the day, after Fox News shamed Biden on account of his NOT calling DeSantis, the doddering old man was handed the telephone by his staff and told "Here, Mr. President, we got DeSantis on the line...read this script and hang up before you say anything stupid that we have to walk back".

Fox news reported an unconfirmed story that insulted Biden? And, I had such hope for them after they published the truth that Shannon Brandt is not a "Left Winger," but what his friends call a "crazy, drunk," guy who ran over Cayler Ellingson while DUI. They did broadcast a retraction, right?

Wait, what?
What I posted was: "Late in the day, after Fox News shamed Biden on account of his NOT calling DeSantis, the doddering old man was handed the telephone by his staff and told "Here, Mr. President, we got DeSantis on the line...read this script and hang up before you say anything stupid that we have to walk back".
Where in all of that is there anything at all about an unconfirmed story that insulted Biden? Fox spokesman merely noted that as of late yesterday afternoon, after days of the hurricane approaching Florida was in the news, that Joe Biden hadn't made any phone calls to the Governor of Florida.
How is that "insulting" anyone?
I suppose it is "insulting" in the same way when someone on imgflips points out something incongruent about a meme their comment gets deleted and the offender is timered for "insulting" the OP.

Cite a source, other than Fox for the "read this script," anecdote.

Donald Trump has defended his administration's response to a recent hurricane in Puerto Rico by explaining that the island is “surrounded by water”.

“This is an island surrounded by water, big water, ocean water,” he said at a tax reform speech in Washington.

Yo, Stan...check your calendar. Today is 28SEP22. Trump hasn't been in office since noon 20JAN21.
The yahoo in office is Joke Biden.

Yep. He hasn't been in office for over a year. He is in the news almost every day spouting off about something. And you still sit attentively looking for opportunities to spring into action to defend him. I'd ask how much he has promised to pay you, but he is a legendary dead-beat.

Nope. He is in the news almost everyday because one or more of you unhinged haters are talking about him or bringing some kind of hate-fueled lawsuit against him or are invading his home as if he were Osama Bin Laden.
I peruse imgflip on a daily basis and see all the invective and vitriol emanating from your very limited subject matter and I opine. That is imgflips business model.
No, Larry...the only people being paid are those of you on George Soros' payroll and that of the DNC.

Yo, Stan...the conversation here is about the doddering old man in the White House and Ron DeSantis. You keep wanting to talk about someone who has nothing to do with this conversation.
Even you should be able to figure this out.

The dictionary definition of a "Traitor," is "a person who betrays a friend, country, principle, etc."

Like Benedict Arnold, Trump engaged in secret communications with our historical adversary. If you or I had the lowest level security clearance, "Confidential," as I recall, and met with the representative of an ally in secret, we would be arrested and we would lose our clearance. The Tangerine Traitor had access to our most secret, secrets. He met with Putin with no one else in the room. He represented the people of the United States. He had an obligation to represent our interests, not his or Putin's or Russia's. He kept important information about his private dealings with a foreign adversary from his employers, the American people. Processes exist to assure that sensitive information is shared only with those who have a "Need To Know." Committee members of both the House and the Senate had a need to know what was discussed in that room. Russia is the only country that benefitted from keeping this meeting secret. He put their interests ahead of ours. That qualifies him to be called "Traitor."

A Treaty is a legal contract between countries which usually involve mutual interests. NATO is an international organization which we belong to and support by a treaty. In the US a treaty can only be changed with the approval of the representatives of the people, the Senate. The fact that the Tangerine Traitor hated NATO is supported by his dozens of public statements to that effect. These statements undermined the reputation of NATO and benefitted only one country, Russia. This, by itself, qualifies him to be called a "Traitor." In addition, the conservative Washington Examiner reported that a statement issued by him, "conceded that he essentially threatened to ignore the treaty’s Article 5 commitment that an attack on one is an attack on all.” He would have violated our treaty with NATO and let Russia have their way with Ukraine. That qualifies him to be called "Traitor."

Earlier this year the FBI discovered multiple Top-Secret documents, not properly protected as mandated by law, were illegally in the Tangerine Traitor's possession. His oath to protect the country was betrayed when he took property that belonged to the people into his personal possession. He also betrayed that oath by not properly protecting our secrets form people who do not have a need to know them. That qualifies him to be called "Traitor."
Is this specific enough?

All Presidents "engaged in secret communications with our historical adversary", Larry.
Nothing nefarious about it. You just hate Trump and you are a dishonest person. You have ZERO evidence of what their interactions may have involved. With you, it is pure conjecture and a lot of hyperbole.
YOU certainly have "no need to know".
Again, ALL PRESIDENTS engaged in secret communications with our historical adversaries on all sorts of subjects. ALL OF THEM have since the end of hostilities in '45
And stop lecturing me. Any one who goes out of their way to type "Tangerine Traitor" in every paragraph has ZERO credibility with me. Your soliloquy is just so much bullshit. Trump didn't hate NATO. He hated that the other members weren't living up to the treaties financial dictates. BTW...that threat you spoke of worked. They finally started ponying up their share of the burden. Remember, THEY violated the treaty to begin with when they didn't meet their financial obligations.

The FBI could very well have planted evidence that the DOJ wanted planted. They have been known to that in the recent past...

No, it is not. It is all conjecture and hyperbole, as I indicated above

I cannot find an example of another US President having a meeting like this. The leader of the non-partisan Eurasia Group said at the time that the meeting violated "National Security protocol." He must be a "Trump hater!"

All Presidents did not engage in such meetings. Name one other who had an official meeting with an adversary that was designed to produce no record? Be specific.

Who cares what anyone thinks about Trump, other than you, Larry? Why should DeSantis care?
Who do I support? Who, other than Biden, has announced their candidacy?
I will vote for ANYONE other than Joke Biden. He has just abou destroyed this country and totally destroyed our credibility on the world stage. He is a LAUGHING STOCK.
I guess that explains your undying support of this failed and utter joke of man.
Trump is a bombastic, self-aggrandizing, blustering bag of wind...but he actually loves this country and wouldn't do anything to hurt it.
Can't say the same thing about the stumbling and bumbling corpse currently occupying the White House.

Biden pledged to help semi-fascists that are a threat to democracy? Must not be that big of a threat.
"Are Republicans 'semi-fascists'? Biden’s ‘basket of deplorables’ moment won’t play well."
Beyond the hypocrisy, President Biden’s name-calling and condescension to such a large swath of the country shouldn’t be forgotten."

Only by highly partisan people. Rational people weigh the facts and reach conclusions informed by data, logic and the truth. People who have been leaders understand the difficulty of "herding cats," and withhold comment. The smart and good looking highly partisan people blame Trump.

If you cited an unbiased source, I would be surprised. I live in Oregon. The real news, Fox included, reported what happened here. BLM protests were almost always met by right-wing counter protesters. Most of the times both sides kept things peaceful. Some people took advantage of the protests to loot. When they were caught, they were arrested and prosecuted. The counter-protesters on many occasions brought and displayed weapons. Some of them were arrested for weapons violations. One of them who shot into a BLM crowd, received a hefty sentence. BLM protesters who acted violently were arrested. A fire was started outside of a police building. The people responsible have been arrested and tried. Local prosecutors decided to not prosecute cases involving refusal to disburse for some protesters. Local, State and Federal prosecutors have prosecuted and are prosecuting cases involving property damage, bodily harm to others and similar cases.

From what I can tell, what happened here was typical of other states. Not one of these protests was aimed at preventing the lawful transfer of power or was as large as what happened on Jan 6. The list of right-wingers arrested committing violent crimes and trying to get BLM or others on the left blamed, is disturbing. Real conservative Republicans, including some in my family are greatly concerned by this trend. People stuck in right-wing echo chambers ignore this fact. Citing an opinion piece from the far-right Heritage Foundation as fact suggests you are among the latter.

Do you remember when Trump sent medical equipment from federal government storage to save people dying from Covid-19 in New York because that was his job? Well, he publicly refused to do his job because New York is a Blue state and its governor said bad things about him. Try to imagine Biden refusing to help Florida. I'll bet you can't. And I'll bet that you will try to rationalize Trump's refusal to help New York.
