and there’s the problem with DeSantis (and all other politicians) right there: they have to pitch some version of how they want people to perceive them, and that “pitch” varies from group to group ... so you never know what the real person really is and what the real person really believes ... in fact, is there even a real person there? ... in other words, politicians are inauthentic, and anyone really paying attention easily senses that ...
none of that is the case with trump ... it’s a simple matter of trump is trump ... he saves and does the exact same things regardless of the audience ... he’s been 100% consistent since he came down the elevator ... even before that actually, if you’ve ever seen the TV interviews of him decades before he ran for President ... and when he was President, EVERY action was exactly what he said he was going to do ... trump never flip-flopped, trump never kowtow to the media or his political enemies ... in fact, trump went full bore attack against his enemies ... trump in fact always set the agenda in his elections, and was such a powerful personality that he sucked all the political oxygen out of the room and out of the media, leaving his opponents looking like the Lilliputians they really were ...

saves = says ...
