The greatest victory in sports history came when Muhammad Ali knocked out George Foreman to win back the world heavyweight championship boxing title in 1974.
Foreman duly unloaded his relentless bombs on Ali, who spent most of the time leaning on the ropes, soaking up the fearsomely powerful assault.
Nobody could understand this apparently suicidal rope-a-dope strategy other than Ali himself, who had deliberately planned it to exhaust his opponent.
The Greatest didn’t win because he was the stronger man.
He won because he had the smarter tactics, and the courage to execute them.
Donald Trump is the political equivalent of George Foreman — a giant, bruising brawler who destroys opponents with brute force.
But he’s about to face his own Rumble in the Jungle-style fight with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and DeSantis is showing every sign of being the opponent Trump fears most: one who can soak up his punches and knock him out.

you’re talking to a moron from Buffalo NY ...
Again, what you are claiming is not factual.
Trump: DeSantis is a terrible governor who is wrecking Florida and he wouldn’t have been governor except for me.
Trump supporters: DeSantis is Establishment, owned by Paul Ryan and the Bushes, and he ought to wait and lead the MAGA movement in 2028. Unless he wants to be VP.
I must be over the target.
Nope. Nowhere close to it.
DeSantis’s actual record is anti-woke, anti-Establishment. Trump is more RINO, more Establishment than DeSantis, and he keeps attacking DeSantis from the left.
So was Joe Manchin’s.
What? You’re making no sense.
What the hell does that have to do with anything. I referenced you pro war Ukraine propagandist that are constantly posting propaganda that flies in the face of reality. To the point where Bagdad Bob would be embarrassed. But not you, you lack even the slightest semblance of shame.
But you’re not telling the truth. And you obviously didn’t read my post.
The Media helped Trump all through the 2016 primaries. They then turned on him big time, and had wanted him only because they thought he could not beat Hillary. Surprise. Now, they want him again and (other than in this article) bash Desantis as Florida’s Hitler or something, because they see Trump as the one person Biden could beat. Why? Because he has developed such high negatives, just like Hillary. Look, both Trump and Desantis are good men. Let the contest play out. The enemy is Biden and the Orwellian future his re-election will most certainly bring about.
My point is, after DJT’s done, we got no one.
Well if he starts swinging at President Trump that will do it for me.
I never wrote him in
He is probably expressing the same sentiment as I
I voted for DeSantis as GOVERNOR……NOT to immediately pivot and run off campaigning for President
That is true but I am content to wait & see whose star rises during the 2024-2028 term. That’s a long way off and we have much work to do as a Nation.
Do you trust someone who breaks a contract with you?
How long are you planning on repeating that lie, Erik?
The problem with DeSantis is that he’s poor. He has to get the well-heeled billionaires to support him. That means he’ll be owned on many crucial issues. I hate for it to come down to this, but I doubt he’ll be able to break the deep state. The oligarchs support the deep state.
Why do you have to be so ray sis? Knock it off with the “you people” stuff.
