As I keep saying, Republicans and independents could've had most of the same policies without this stuff with DeSantis.
I have zero problems with the things Trump has said about other politicians and press members. He singlehandedly ruined Liz Warren's presidential aspirations for eternity with giving her the "pocahontas" moniker, and she earned all of that with her lying. I think telling embarrassingly-biased reporters to their faces how poor of a job they are doing is great. A lot of Americans need to read about the rhetoric of American politicians in the 1800s. Much of that rhetoric went well beyond what some consider offensive today.
