Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis asked whether former President Trump was running to get back at his poltical enemies or ensure a brighter future for Americans.

I didn’t vote for Trump in 2016. I didn’t vote.

In 2020 I voted for Trump because knew Biden would be bad. He has done better than I expected but the inflation is killing me and the focus on the wrong thing isn’t helping.

Early on I was a De Santis fan but my interest has waned as he has taken hard stances on things that need compromise.

    I just don’t see trump violating the law as a good solution.

    He wouldn’t have had to - Obama and Biden didn’t, after all.

    All Trump had to do was not be incompetent. But the same incompetence with which he’s prosecuted his business affairs extended, inexorably, to his prosecution of his responsibilities in office. That simply can’t be denied - he’s an incompetent loser, a failed President.

    Now I do think Trump screwed up by brining in more people who had no clue like faucci into the mix.

    Sure. He screwed up because he’s a screwup. Always has been, and hasn’t changed now.

    At some point he invited osterholm whom I am a big fan of

    Hey, I don’t deny he got some good people in by accident. Occasionally people gave him good advice and he was apparently too disinterested in the subject to gainsay them. Scott Gottlieb was the best FDA Commissioner we’ve had in decades and it’s a shame he’d left before COVID.

    But two objectively-correct Federal appointments don’t redeem the Trump legacy of incompetence. How can they?
