just read something wild about byron donalds' ex-wife coming out saying his jamaican accent was completely fake lol. apparently when they met at florida a&m he was doing the whole patois thing, but she says it disappeared within days. his explanation? he thought it made him stand out since most students were from new york and barely anyone from jamaica.

they were married 1999-2002 but she's calling it more of a financial arrangement. they separated after he got his now-wife erika pregnant, and haven't spoken in like decades. when asked about it, donalds didn't really deny it—just said he wished he handled that chapter differently.

this is the same guy running for florida governor in 2026 and he's a trump supporter. wild that this is coming out now. you ever see someone completely drop an accent like that? 👀
