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.

He owes us some splainin.
Trump will pound him!! To use another Boxing phrase, Everybody has a plan till they get punched in the Nose. Mike Tyson.
ROFL. So Trump is going to get exhausted? Hilarious analogy.
You got it wrong, man! It's actually called the Youcraynian Spring Pride Dance.
I wish Clarkson knocked this fag out. Talk about loser Brit politics, gun grabbing shirt lifter.
Ya all have your reasons.. think on this..
THEY ARE IN THE PROCESS OF DESTROYING OUR NATION.
They got by with a coup and got a senile old corrupt treasonous joe in as president. Republicans could not have done that.
I still am beyond puzzled on how a joe who isnt all there.. is accepted by the media and the not caring voters, to represent the United States of America. He is an embarrassment and makes us look weak
DeSantis isn’t even in my top three.
Sounds like every other GOP Presidential candidate that came before Trump. They were all gutless wonders. Sat in the corner like a scolded puppy with their tails between their legs, and never said a thing to defend themselves. It was the accepted behavior in the past. It won't be tolerated, nor is that behavior anything the majority of Republican voters find attractive in a candidate. Wishy-washy is out.
“I’m at least willing to see how the first few debates turn out.”
What! An open mind?
“all you pro war Ukraine propagandist are also desantis supporters. “
That is just a slightly broad brush. That is every DeSamtis supporter? Junior high thinking.
No, it’s every pro war Ukraine propagandist. You know who you freaks are.
Biggest issue is maga has no bench.
We laugh and mock the dems for their shallow bench, but ours is DJt and that’s it.
What total BS. The only reason RdS is even involved is his high hopes that the Uniparty/Soros kangaroo courts shut down Trump. That is his ONLY chance. RdS is already out swinging. Someone needs to cut him down as the corpse is beginning to smell.
“Most of us true blue conservatives are wanting Trump in 2024 and DeSantis in 2028. Let Ron run now too for the practice and PR for the next cycle. There’s really no need for Trump or fellow conservatives to rag on him. Let it play out without the attacks on a fellow conservative warrior.”
Trump trying to destroy DeSantis is just what the Lefties love. Guaranteed they will use it against him if and when it is useful for them - 24 ir 28 ie 32, Reagan had no “practice” and Trump certainly didn’t.
I agree. We absolutely need to do this. We need to make them choke on Trump.
I don't think that's true, I think they are just saying that because they want people to feel as though Trump is the only choice.
I feel that Trump is the only choice, but I wouldn't have any problem voting for DeSantis in 2028.
I don’t buy it. The Establishment already has their hooks in him and have nothing to fear from DeSantis, whether he’s elected in 2024 or 2028.
But even if that was their true agenda, it doesn’t say much for DeSantis’s judgement that he’s falling for it.
“If De Santos wants to lean back on the ropes and let Trump land haymakers his chances of ever being POTIS is dead.”
Trump is throwing them alright but they aren’t landing. Who, with any knowledge whatsoever, believes DeSantis is a RINO. One keeps hearing from Trump’s propaganda mouthpieces that DeSantis is beholden to the establishment when everything he has done as governor is just the opposite.
