I have a different take…
Trump spent a lot of time with professional wrestling.
He understands the elements of story and conflict.
He understands the role each wrestler acts out - and what gets people involved emotionally.
A coronation without a fight is boring.
It wouldn’t surprise me to learn DeSantis is in on it - just as both wrestlers are.
As a reference to this:
“Trump spent a lot of time with professional wrestling.”
BINGO! Trump’s “problem” is because most people don’t read real books. I’ve read the books that Trump has written beginning with “Art of the Deal”. He is a genius but his delivery is not natural for him. He has to over sell himself (he thinks).
