Doug Ford says he won’t be going to Florida this winter, and Ron DeSantis couldn’t be happier.

Florida’s governor was reacting to comments from Ontario’s premier claiming the Sunshine State’s tourism industry is hurting — a claim Florida’s tourism numbers say otherwise.

Ford said people shouldn’t let U.S. President Donald Trump ruin their vacation plans, referring to Trump as “one guy” and a “tyrant” while doing so. He also made the comment about Florida’s tourism industry, which DeSantis disputed.

That prompted DeSantis, a master of online trolling, to respond to a clip of Ford online.

“Actually we continue to break tourism records (and win Stanley Cups),”
