Charles Foster Kane or James Bond? Jake Hoffman Can't Make Up his Mind

He held his campaign kickoff at American Social in Tampa. But before jump-starting his campaign at one of the most overrated bars in Florida, Jake Hoffman spent his time gallivanting around the globe with his sugar baby partner (why do they all come from Tampa?), pretending to be James Bond in his Aston Martin, and taking cringy photos along the Insta-gamut.
Hoffman needs to fire his consultant(s). Immediately. Anyone giving him advice needs to be run out of political life. Does the flashy imagery espoused by the so-called serial entrepreneur really attract voter's praise? Well, maybe the wealthy, crabby retirees on the west coast. But if his ambitions lie beyond state office, he must rethink his game ASAP.
What's more, for the GOP (which constantly derides freeloaders and welfare queens), Hoffman should also revisit his decision to borrow thousands in PPP loans while living the life of Howard Hughes.
Two days after Christmas in 2020, Hoffman took to Instagram to show off a birthday present to himself: an Aston Martin V8 Vantage. “It’s probably not the best idea to stunt at the end of 2020 with all the pain and suffering across the world,” Hoffman acknowledged in the post.
The upstat politician claims a rags-to-riches story, ignoring the situational apects that led to success for himself.

The Florida tax code is a disaster. Believing in low taxes doesn't mean no taxes. The burden our state places on the property tax is directly pinned to the fact that Florida maintains a policy of no income taxes. High property taxes equal no meaningful manufacturing jobs. But Tampa's serial entrepreneur wouldn't know that. He's too busy jet-setting around the world and telling his "inspirational" life story to study economics.
Like his elderly constituents freeloading off of Medicare and Social Security, Hoffman and his company pulled more than $450K in federal loans while he racked up bills for new cars and luxury vacays.
He wedded in May in front of an Irish castle and honeymooned in Monte Carlo and Saint Tropez (not exactly the cheapest spots on the planet).
No word on if he plans to give the money back.
