The real reason Donald Trump is suddenly attacking Ron DeSantis
Trump’s rhetoric of hate
There is nothing original about Donald Trump, least of all his rhetoric of hate. Nor is there anything original about his followers who feed on it. Invective can be addictive.

The bad news: imagine you’re a four times-indicted criminal defendant with millions of dollars in mounting legal fees. You’ve just been handed, in rapid succession, two crushing civil defamation judgments, one for 5 million dollars and the other for a blood-curdling 83.3 million dollars, both for raping and then defaming a woman.
