During a speech in Ohio, former President Donald Trump made a series of aggressive comments towards Ron DeSantis, comparing his attacks on DeSantis to the military strategy used against ISIS. Trump claimed to have hit DeSantis 'hard,' 'low,' 'high,' 'in the middle,' and even 'from under the ground,' stating that by the time DeSantis announced his campaign, 'nobody knew what the hell happened,' and he was 'a shell of a man.' These remarks have sparked discussions on Trump's approach to dealing with political rivals, with some interpreting the comments as a metaphorical comparison of his aggressive tactics rather than a literal comparison of DeSantis to ISIS. Critics argue that Trump's strategy aims to dominate media attention and diminish DeSantis's standing by making him the subject of controversy.

Why wouldn't Trump want DeSantis? Trump gets to be the showman, the dealmaker, the brand guy; meanwhile DeSantis runs the shop in the shadows. Trump offloads to DeSantis all the parts of the job he hates.
