I don’t like it but Trump sees DeSantis as an adversary in the upcoming campaign. To get the nomination his biggest threat would be DeSantis.Trump knows you have to stay on offense. We may not like it but Trump wants to be President and Ron may be his first obstacle.
At this point it seems that Trump may be the nominee in 2024 (the primary voters will decide) but I think the Deep State will see to it that he doesn’t become President again, whatever it takes. In the process he may destroy DeSantis as a potential nominee in 2028.
