>>”Which shows all along Trump was just playing politics and really respected Desantis.”
No offense but. you’re very gullible if you believe that. Was Trump just playing politics when he was trashing DeSantis or is he playing politics now? Anyone who has paid attention to Trump over these past 8 years, knows the answer.
Anyone who wants to mend fences with Trump will usually get his wish. It’s the way Trump operates. No greater friend, no worse enemy. But does that mean Trump respects him? Trump’s not naive. Respect is something you earn and DeSantis lost a lot of that when he decided to challenge Trump rather than support him. Can he ever win it back? Maybe to some extent, but it’s doubtful Trump will ever fully trust him again.
No I think you are wrong, yet I appreciate the politeness.
When Chis Christie dropped out Trump said “no one cares much”. He clearly said nothing as kind as what he did to Desantis, this shows respect.
Trump on Nikki Haley: “ I know her very well. She’s not tough enough. She’s not smart enough. And she wasn’t respected enough. She cannot do this job,” added Trump,”. Although she has t dropped out yet.
‘I can’t find his comments on Asa H and I’m not going to spend an hour looking. Trump rightly recognized Desantis as his main threat in the primaries and devised the strategy to mock and attack him.
It partially worked although I think Desantis obviously could have had a better strategy.
