DeSantis views the world thru a lense of freedom while Trump views the world thru a lense of what is best for Trump. There are so many people who I tend to respect on the right that just cannot realize that Trump is only about Trump. Don't get me wrong, if Trump wins the primary we need to make sure he wins the General because Trump being about Trump is good 75% of the time, but this nonsensical, undying support for someone with so many shortcomings has to stop.

Not to mention the very strong stance by DeSantis regarding pharma and the public health establishment, while Trump pushed the vaccine and still pretends it's safe and effective.

Great points Jordan. Please address in further posts what has transpired in the world since Trump was president. I keep hearing that he will come in and “set things straight “ again. Much has changed. The East and South are moving from the dollar. Trump is not going to come in and bully Russia, China or anyone else. The collective west is diminishing and new strategies need to be developed.

Trump had his chance. Yes, Trump would be better than any Dem and most of the RINOs, but he had four years to drain the swamp, put "her" in prison, investigate the previous admin's corruption, and keep all the other promises he made. Now he's out (illegitimately, but that doesn't change the fact he's out) and the swamp he failed to even attempt to drain is now draining themselves of any last vestiges of conservatism, trying their best to put "him" in prison, and continually investigating him and overturning pretty much everything he did accomplish. Sorry, but Trump's a sucker to not see that would happen. Bannon called it and Trump threw him out. At least with DeSantis it won't be four years of BS investigation after investigation simply because the Dems have a Trump fetish.

Yes, Trump's second term would be all bluster and blowhard and no action -- again. Screw that.

In addition, Trump poisoned the world with Warp Speed. Therefore, Phuck him forever.

Trump is a unabashed dope who allowed Fauci, the deep state, and the neocons to bamboozle and intimidate him. The best thing he could do for the country and the GOP is to drop dead.

No one gets to be governor of a state without first kissing a ring or a wall. You can say the same for the President.

DeSantis is also a warmonger

In his private life, Trump was a creature of the debt markets, his stance on monetary policy should be no surprise. Oh, and he doesn't read books. I hope DeSantis wins.

Hi Jordan, nice post, my main quibble is that bitcoin and all cryptocurrencies suffer from the same monetary printing issues as the dollar via tether, which prints tens of billions of dollars out of thin air to inflate or deflate the entire crypto-space as argued here: https://neofeudalreview.substack.com/p/misconceptions-regarding-viewing

Both are Israel first, America second. We need a true America First conservative.

The key question for me is, does DeSantis understand why Trump imposed tariffs on goods made in China, and will he resume Trump's successful but incomplete (due to Covid, which is why China was complicit in that whole operation) trade war aimed to reduce the trade imbalance between the two countries?

DeSantis didn't question the stolen 2020 election. Any political person who won’t call the 2020/2022 elections for what they are isn’t fit to lead. Nothing else matters.

Hard to believe you are still plugging bitcoin in the wake of the FTX fiasco and flight of billions of dollars from the bitcoin marketplace.

The CARES Act passed Congress by unanimous vote. But the one person you blame it on is Trump, who could not have stopped it if he wanted to? Incidentally, DeSantis welcomed the money when he got his.

Hmmm, another reason I’m leaning towards DeSantis over Trump...

Except the top issue is not getting nuked over the dumb Ukraine War, with Trump the peace candidate and DeSantis waffling.
