With this government official insanity in the US, Disney might be better off to move outside the US completely.

Literally all DeSantis tried to do was to remove special, preferential treatment that Disney had been receiving, and have it treated the exact same as every other business under Florida law. That's why all of Disney's legal challenges to this have failed. For that same reason, I can't understand why anyone would choose to side with Disney on this.
Also, you may be unaware that Disney already has theme parks overseas at multiple locations. If Disney believed it could make a profit by opening more parks overseas, it would do so regardless of what was going on in Florida because you wouldn't be moving those physical assets, but rather just building entirely new ones.
What you're really talking about is Disney closing ( not "moving") Disnew World, and constructing an entirely new park somewhere else in the United States that would be accessible to the same customer base.
For a variety of reasons, including the modern practical impossibility of acquiring that much usable land in a desirable location, that won't happen.

If business is going to be regulated, the law should apply evenly. Disney Corp got a sweetheart deal in the wake of Walt Disney’s passing. Walt’s successors did not follow through on their end of the deal. A theme park was constructed rather than a “city of tomorrow,” and the district left them with a competitive advantage. The district should have been abolished long ago, before it was racked with debt.

Trump can kiss my grits. I am absolutely disgusted with him. He's despicable!

Maj. Bill Martin:
I suspect this kind of political and personal vindictiveness, regardless of harm caused, would be exactly what we could expect to see of Trump if he somehow managed to get elected again. And the targets would include a lot of good Republicans whose only offense was being insufficiently deferential to Lord Trump.
