Do you really want a president who is willing to do that? Haven't you had enough of that?

Governor DeSantis is currently on a foreign tour of Japan, South Korea, Israel, and UK.
I had to laugh at the part of the article:
QUOTE
The governor is spending this week abroad on an international trade mission that will also take him to South Korea, Israel, and the United Kingdom. The trip will give him an opportunity to expand his foreign policy chops — which are typically a smaller part of a governor's portfolio.
UNQUOTEExplain to me how a 1 week tour of four foreign countries will increase his foreign policy skills? As someone who has been involved in this, he will fly in, meet some "important" people, shake some hands, get some photos taken, give a talk, maybe sign a few papers, etc. and then leave. The odds of him really "seeing" any parts of these countries is about zero.
I am sure his handlers (and maybe even himself) thinks this will be good for his foreign policy skills, but it is kind of laughable.
(I know that Gov. DeSantis is not the only politician that does this. And I laugh at the others also.)

What it actually does is let a few foreign folk know that he exists, so that when he runs for President their initial reaction isn't "Who?".

GOP mega donor billionaire: definitely not Trump, now maybe also not DeSantis.

Despite the current polls, I think Trump is seriously worried about DeSantis. The other day he suggested that DeSantis not run this year.
"If you're catching flak..."

He's certainly been a real competitor in terms of the news cycle over the last few months, if not GOP voters. That is probably enough in itself to focus Trump on taking him down a peg.

I don't know a lot about DeSantis, but I assume all politicians are products of what they think their voters want. I would prefer him to Trump, for sure. The cultural baggage of Trump isn't worth it.

@jon-nyc said in Trump vs. DeSantis:
Trump's very first TV spot of the 24 election season.
Saturday Night Live has really gone downhill of late.

No doubt intentional.

And the Democrats continue to smile and rub their hands, hoping that President Trump is the Republic candidate.

They better rub their hands and hope Biden is not the Demonrat nominee.
But I think they are working on that...

Made me like DeSantis a little more…
But as to the quality of the ad… Seriously? Of all the potential Sci-Fi futures we could have selected have we really decided on Idiocracy?
