All politicians are grifters, no exception. The only question is what the grift is and who it benefits. In the case of (relatively) young, ambitious rising stars, it SHOULD be to get voters and keep them happy. After a while the politician gets settled in, and there's no more battles to win, or maybe they get bored with the office - then their goals shift to supporting special interests who will help them get more money or power. They all go through the life cycle, with how corrupt they are determining how fast they reach the end. All we can do is be mindful of that and watch them, pushing their actions to benefit us. Make sure they know we are watching. Politicians are tools. Use them until they stop working then dispose of them.
DeSantis has learned that "Be Like Trump" is the best way to win a constituency and keep it. As long as that aligns with his goals then he will keep doing it.
