Ron DeSantis's Painfully Awkward Smile Is Going Viral, And It Really Does Gets Funnier Every Time
Last night, the GOP held a Trump-less debate with eight Republican nominee hopefuls.
One moment is the standout moment in terms of "that's definitely going to become a meme."
That moment is Ron DeSantis trying to smile:

Another person compared it to taking a dump.

I'm seeing comparisons to Wednesday Addams.

They're calling him Chandler Bing.
He’s weird. He’s a robot. I’d never want to have a beer with him. He smiles like Chandler Bing did when you take his picture…And I’d want him as my president in a heartbeat. Let’s go, @RonDeSantis ! pic.twitter.com/15MwAojpRd

And this person's comparison to an 8th grader's yearbook pic with braces is pretty spot on:
Ron DeSantis’ debate smile looks like he’s taking his 8th grade yearbook photo and he’s a little nervous about his new braces
