The Trump hate is strong in America.
I love what Trump accomplished and think the 2020 election was far from fair, if for no other reason than the media was against him. They characterized everything he did in the worst possible way, and they accused him of crimes that were never proven. It is amazing that Trump accomplished anything, but since his own Republican party stabbed him in the back, everything he accomplished through executive power alone was rolled back.
I also know that DeSantis will be attacked in much the same way, but he doesn’t start with the same negatives. Senator McCain, for example, was characterized as both a hated enemy and a cherished bipartisan friend multiple times, depending on how much he threatened Democrat goals. DeSantis will be demonized in the same way, but perhaps he has a better chance of winning the presidency in 2024.
I hope Trump and DeSantis come to peaceful terms, because I do not want us to lose the presidency again. Had we done better this election, I would have thought Trump stood a decent chance of winning, but now I think he would lose in 2024. It doesn’t mean I won’t support him, but the media has made his name toxic (and he’s done little or nothing to help fix that.)
