Governor Ron DeSantis is either getting his messaging mixed, or admitting he would be half as effective a President as Donald Trump.
Trump, playing to his experience in the job, goaded the Florida governor this week, stating: “When [DeSantis] says eight years, every time I hear it, I wince… because I say, if it takes eight years to turn this around, then you don’t want him… as your president.”
When told about Trump’s remarks, DeSantis snapped back: “Why didn’t he do it his first four years?”
But speaking on stage in Iowa, DeSantis said: “Let’s just be clear, it really does take two terms as president to be able to finish this job… And I don’t think he could fix it in one single four-year term.”
His messaging doesn’t seem to be working.
“Trump’s strength is his term as president,” George Pierson, a college student from Waukee told CNN.
Still, good news that DeSantis admitted Trump’s four years in office were his “first”. Conceding so soon, Ron?
The buried lede in this clip is that DeSantis says "first" four years, implying a second four years to come.
Conceding already, Ron?
