Trump is a bully. People love seeing bullies work over other people they don't like.
It's embarrassing how many people just want a strongman to take care of them. It's embarrassing how many people confuse mentally inadequate people who are bullies with someone is is strong and confident. Trump got elected due to a whole crap ton of people's personal insecurities.
Desantis better be ready to meet trump at the playground afterschool. Otherwise, he will look weak just like Jeb, Ted, and all those other no-spine pieces of crap.
