    If he made better speeches I don’t think his base would be capable of following him. He’s the perfect authoritarian for the people he’s leading, as illustrated by the failure of the Republican party to find a substitute for him.

    DeSantis is more cognizant, and happy to ape anything Trump does to get a following. He’s a total failure.

    Trump’s lack of coherence makes it possible for him to get away with literally anything, as you can always chose what you want to hear and what you want to see, and there’s always something he has said that indicates he feels exactly the way you do about things. It’s a talent that is, thankfully, not easily imitated.
