any role in Trumps administration is a dead end. Just ask Rick Perry.

He is better off not serving

“any role in Trumps administration is a dead end.”

Yes, I’m inclined to agree. DeSantis is doing just fine on his own, and closer association with Pres Trump could wind up being dangerous for DeSantis down the road.

DeSantis has been the most competent Republican in the United States (not including the Presidency or even Marco Rubio). I would love to see him as the next USSC justice.

Whoever is in this Administration with the non stop leaking is absolutely RIDICULOUS at this point. During Biden, NO ONE leaked to ANYONE because they knew to keep their traps shut

Yeah. Total hearsay, and plausible deniability to boot.

I don’t doubt that for a second. That Trump claimed it, to be clear.
