starting to come off the Trump apple. Yes, he was a very good President. Yes, I will always be grateful for him saving the country from Hillary. Yes, he is great in front of a crowd. Yes, he lost in 2020 entirely because of voter fraud. And he was stabbed in the back by Mitch McConnell, Mike Pence, and others. Yes, yes, absolutely.
BUT, have his wheels started to come off, now? Has he lost a step, culturally?
He has disparaged DeSantis a couple times, recently. It seems defensive and more than a bit flailing. Really bad move at a horrible time, in any case. The timing just couldn’t have been worse.
It’s the kind of cultural faux pas that you simply don’t expect from Trump. Add in a totally underwhelming and terrible under-performance by GOP leaders in yesterday’s election, and suddenly many of us are asking some rather hard questions.
Is it time to move on? DeSantis looks pretty dang good…
I don’t think there’s any question but that Trump will try and run again. The question is what will DeSantis do. And how would Trump react to being beaten by DeSantis? Will he use his influence for the good of the GOP and support someone who beats him in he primary? Or will he be sullen and bitter and take his followers and go home?
