“Or Trump could be working with DeSantis to Solidify conservatives and praise the work he has done in Florida instead of lying about him.”

Leftists use hatred and emotion when the disagree with people.

They have a view that others have to share as truth. When others don’t share their truth, ridicule takes over. They firmly believe the others whom they must convince feel the same way, that one view must prevail, so tge argument turns into who is most nasty, best at hatred, who can get the mob to join.

From the start, it’s not an argument. There is no belief here. It’s not the religion that the guy believes it is.

It’s a matter of what happened. Neither person knows what happened nor what will happen.

I don’t care about any of that. I don’t care if anyone sees it the way I see it. I’m guessing. I do not hink anyone should give a care what I say. I’m just saying what I think could be what happened

Something happened. There was an interaction among Trumps people and DeSantis’s. The way it looks to me, knowing what little I know about it, is Trump wants DeSantis on board. Trump is a Wharton educated businessman. The few Wharton people I know are people who think so far ahead they make Super Bowl football coaches look like students. One in particular was a guy who, in high school, pre Wharton, if anyone tried to play monopoly with him, within short time there was inevitably a pile of little plastic pieces on top of a pile of Monopoly money he was never going to have to use again

Trump successfully rebuilt many old buildings in NYC thinking ahaed, using his business mentality to gather teams of experts. He applies his expertise in working with people. He does that in tge political sphere. He has said clearly that the tough people he dealt with in business in NY and around the world were not unpredictable as the people in Washington are.

Trump got NATO. To pay their dues, collecting billions of our money. Having lived and worked around NATO for years myself, I know tgat was a task that took a way above average expertise in getting back what is owed from people. I pay a third of what I earn to this government. I was very happy to see others do as I do and pay what they owe to our government.

When he gave DeSantis his endorsement he would have made it clear, here is what I expect in return. But above board. On the table. Take this deal or don’t take it. Some people believe it’s a point about Trump in which they’re at liberty to hate him. I do not.

I imagine, from what I know, and what I have seen in this interaction, tgat Trump went to collect DeSantis’s endorsement. The valuable governor of Floridas endorsement and was met with a ‘hang it on the wall’

Of course DeSantis is allowed to do tgat. I think it’s a bad political move. I imagine he is not alone. A guy doesn’t go up against tge most successful campaign in modern history with a governors salary backed by some military work. Running for president takes serious backing

People who say DeSantis hasn’t announced yet and can do this are correct but DeSantis’s problem is he and whoever is coaching him are pretending he can join Trump at some point. No. He can’t. His opportunity is gone. He has to now run for president and win or be governor at most.

DeSantis will never win a presidential race against Trump in 2024. Therefore it is a mistake. This is an underestimating Trump mistake. I also add in that DeSantis owes Trump an endorsement that he’s not paying.

I don’t look at what people say or as in DeSantis’s case what they don’t say. I look at their actions

I also do listen to what Trump says As a person raised by a big businessman who grew up in Queens myself, I listen to him with a natural filter for tuning out exaggerations as part of the Queens vernacular. I listen to him I know he is honest. He said DeSantis let him down. Trump works for us -the US- in the venture. I tske that to mean DeSantis is not on board with us

This a glimpse of what I put into an opinion I make

No amount of nasty ridicule will change it because it is based on truths I have gathered. State some truth to counter it and say it politely and with respect and I will be glad to consider whether I care enough to listen but I am very busy doing things

I am never nasty in stating what I see events to be. There would never be a reason for it. Either Trump is lying or he isnt. I have never seen him lie. DeSantis has said nothing. People I know find that dignified. My experience tells me that’s sneaky and passive aggressive. It’s not mean of me that I see it that way. The way I see it it’s mean of DeSantis to be that way.

You have your view. And others have theirs.
