Trump wanted to be loved by lib backstabbers like Woodward. It’s his fatal flaw.

Sure he did, or maybe, just maybe, he's not afraid of them and is willing to face off with them no matter what, while DeSanctimonious sits in the corner and calculates what type of trouble he might get into before he puts his little toe in the water to test the water.

You see, one leads from a position of strength, while Trump's Mini-Me is to calculating, too afraid to actually step out and take them on. Just like the good little lawyer he is, he wants to make sure he has calculated all the risk, instead simply leading and taking the fight to them in ALL situations.

I always believed the issue of frivolous lawsuits was over blown. No longer.

The difference of course is that DeSantis is winning his fights whereas with Trump, it's always, "LEEROY JENKINS!!!"

Or maybe Trump thinks he can win them over and then he never does. And then he never stops talking about them.

Reference his never ending tortured relationship with Maggie Haberman. What a waste of time.
