From a Jack Shafer Fourth Estate column on politico.com headlined “How Trump Can Squash DeSantis Once and For All”:

Donald Trump can’t think he needs any help repelling Ron DeSantis’ gestating presidential ambitions, now entering their third trimester. I’ve got this, Trump must be musing, having just posted three new videos ripping the Florida governor as “disloyal,” a “Mitt Romney lover” and, narrowcasting to Iowa caucus voters, an enemy of ethanol.

Checking the fresh Fox News poll, which expands Trump’s lead over the unannounced 2024 hopeful (now 54 percent to 24 percent), he seems ready to coast on his tested campaign strategy of insults, rallies, anti-establishment rhetoric, political transgression and wild social media rumpusing.
