And the fun continues. LOL

“Ron DeSantis got elected because of me,” Trump said. “You remember — he had nothing, he was dead, he was leaving the race. He came over and he begged me — begged me — for an endorsement."

"He was getting ready to drop out. ... He said, ‘If you endorse me, I’ll win,’ and there were tears coming down from his eyes,” Trump said.

Nothing new in that…

Does anyone really believe that story?

DeSantis is playing it so smart by not responding. It just makes Trump look desperate. Flailing even.

Could be worse. He could be foundering floundering.

I’m surprised how little attention DeSantis’s speech in Iowa has gotten. He basically came out as a candidate, and started laying the groundwork for his Trump offensive… And then today…

This is the beginning of the attack that I’ve been waiting for. It’s more about Fauci right now, but he can easily twist it to Trump and Biden, both. This is where he can turn some of Trump’s base.

Trump is so very vulnerable. So is Biden.

With regard to Trump, perhaps DeSantis is adhering to some advice attributed to Napoleon:

Never interrupt your enemy while he's making a mistake. That's bad manners.

I would simply run an ad with trump announcing the 15 days, then when he extended it another 30 days and then… All with Fauci standing back there…

Piers replies.

If there was ANY doubt about DeSantis running, that should be pretty much gone by after today.

I’ve always liked Morgan. I know a lot of people don’t.

The NYP says Trump is bringing his own camera crew for his arrest (if it happens).

Arrest him and he'll go up by 20. Especially...Lindsay Graham testified in Georgia and he said that if Trump's phone calls are taken in context, there ain't much there, there.

Scenario...The arrest in New York happens, turns into a circus and Trump leaves laughing, as his bird flies back to Florida. This shakes the Georgia guys and a shaky case causes them to back off. The Resident's pet Justice Department declines to open up a can of worms, because if they go after the Don, they gotta go after Biden. And Hunter's influence peddling becomes more well known to the general electorate.

Throw in a bad economy, and what could be the end result?

I don’t think I have watched anything more than a few random snippets from his interviews.

Can’t compare him to anyone. How does he rate against the BBC’s Stephen Sackur? I rather like Sackur’s hard ball but well informed and prepared style.
