In early 2020, nearly everyone - including Trump - supported lockdowns, and for far longer than DeSantis.

Dunno about the tax increases.

Re: Ukraine. He had the right instinct, in saying that he didn't want to get involved in a border dispute in the east of Ukraine. The backtracking made me suspicious too that he is a closet neocon, but it was probably just the fact that the anti-neocon vote was already locked up by Trump. I bet he will make his anti-neocon position far more obvious in 2028 as Trump's successor.

Yes, which is why I didn't say that Trump implemented lockdowns like dim-witted Democrats claim. He verbally supported them, and criticized some governors for getting rid of them. Ergo, supported them.

Trump supported lockdowns for longer than DeSantis.

Which is OK, people can make mistakes. But DeSantis was rather good on the coronavirus far sooner than the rest of people.

As of 22 April 2020:

“I told the governor of Georgia, Brian Kemp, that I disagree strongly with his decision to open certain facilities,” Trump said at a White House coronavirus task force press briefing, doling out praise for “strong, resolute” Georgia residents.

RINO Brian Kemp was stronger than Trump on this issue.

Yes, 1 month later he was saying that states should open up, but it's ridiculous to try to deny that Trump initially supported lockdowns. Which is fine, because people can make mistakes.

If Trump loses in 2024, the deluge will probably sweep away any Trumpist candidate, including DeSantis.

Why do you think a massive loser in 2024 is going to be the candidate in 2028? That’s not how any of this shit works. Biden, a previous loser, had to be installed.

Reagan: massive loser in 1968, slight loser in 1976.

Of course, DeSantis is no Reagan, at least qua charisma, but your general rule definitely does not apply.

Look, I have no ill will toward DeSantis, but this is bullshit. The fact is his donors hit the phone a friend button.
