This article was written by Brian Joondeph, M. D. Known to the courthouse as the M.D.
being dismissed by HA, because he is a retinal surgeon not an epidemiologist and therefore should not offer an opinion as to Covid.
Well, Brian is not a political pundit and again may well be dismissed by those posting on this forum.
He proposes that Trump is running interference for DeSantis. As Dr. Joondeph states:
"I offer another possibility, or suggestion, as I have zero inside knowledge, only an obsessive interest in all of this. Suppose all the Trump vs DeSantis sparring is nothing but theater? What if the two Florida residents have discussed plans and strategy already? Interestingly, Trump just retruthed a Truth Social comment, “Trump masterfully started this fake ‘fight’ with DeSantis…” perhaps acknowledging this theory.
My theory is that Trump and DeSantis formed a secret alliance, allowing the Trump-hating RINOs to pour hundreds of millions into DeSantis’s potential campaign. The two can feud publicly, sucking the air out of the political room for the next year, then join forces. Not only will they have a huge campaign war chest, but the NeverTrumpers who loved DeSantis one minute will have no idea what to do when they get their wish, except that their guy is running for the White House with another guy they loathe."
This has been on my mind for several months. Few realize that Trump enthusiastically supported DeSantis in his first successful run for the governorship of Florida. DeSantis was a Congressman from a northeastern district, virtually unknown in the rest of the state of Florida. He had little money for his campaign. He was not the preferred candidate of the Republican establishment (Adam Putnam was their choice) in Florida.
Here is a portion of his Wikipedia page, hardly a conservative site
" President Trump had said in December 2017 that he would support DeSantis should he run for governor.[43] During the Republican primary, DeSantis emphasized his support for Trump by running an ad in which DeSantis taught his children how to "build the wall" and say "Make America Great Again" and dressed one of his children in a red "Make America Great Again" jumper.[44] Asked if he could name an issue where he disagreed with Trump, DeSantis did not.
Out of the box thinking to be sure.
