Because his attack on DeSantis was petulant.
By his own actions he signaled his weakness; the strong move would have been to congratulate DeSantis and belittle McConnell for pulling out of winnable races.
Trump has never had good political instincts. He is only good at serving up red meat at rallies.
He HAD good brand instincts. But the older he gets the more his preference for personal loyalty takes precedence over projecting the proper image.
90's Trump wouldn't have made such a mistake as punching down at someone who just scored a big win.
Plus, why the attack on Youngkin? I don't think that there's anyone who seriously thinks that Youngkin is a major contender in the Presidential race.
Yep. It was punching down, and punching down is not a sign of strength.
