The Meaning of Ron DeSantis

Edward Luce: “An enduring debate about Donald Trump is whether he stands for a clear ideology or just for Donald Trump. The latter was never in doubt. But it has taken Ron DeSantis, Florida’s governor and the former U.S. president’s chief rival, to fashion a worldview from Trump’s gut instincts, whether you agree with them or not.”

“The irony is that it is Trump’s likeliest nemesis, other than himself, who is doing the most to build Trumpism into a lasting force. Little wonder that Rupert Murdoch’s media empire now prefers ‘DeFuture,’ as the New York Post recently dubbed DeSantis.”
