When/if will Trump endorse DeSantis in the FL gubernatorial race?
Trump faces tough decision on DeSantis endorsement — The Hill
Former President Trump is facing a dilemma: when — or even whether — to endorse the 2022 reelection bid of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, one of his biggest potential rivals for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.apple.news
Interesting dynamics at play, alright.
As stated in the article, DeSantis won't come to Trump unless he believes he needs him to win, and Trump won't endorse DeSantis without a pledge of allegiance.
Since DeSantis likely believes he's likely got the election in the bag at this time, no movement from either is taking place.
DeSantis doesn't need Trump to win the governor or GOP nomination, but he most definitely needs Trump to win the presidency.Interesting dynamics at play, alright.

DeSantis is a smarter version of Trump, imo.Trump will not endorse DeSantis. There is no personal benefit for Trump to do so. Trump doesn't give a fat rat's ass about the GOP.
Now, IF DeSantis would enter into a secret agreement to pardon Trump if DeSantis is elected President for Trump's endorsement then maybe. But I don't see that as a possibility.
There is no way I can imagine that kind of agreement between two narcissistic authoritarian slime balls. Neither are trustworthy.
DeSantis is more Trumplike than any other possible GOP candidate. He doesn't need Trump's endorsement. Q-fools, fascists, authoritarian butt lickers, white nationalists and religionists will vote for DeSantis if Trump isn't a candidate.
In that respect, I'm surprised he isn't courting Trump more than he is. Maybe he is waiting to see Trump's fate before he wastes his time?Of course!
Kinda like playing with two like pole magnets……….That (bolded above) is ridiculous. Trump appears to fear that DeSantis will run for POTUS in 2024 and how stupid it would look (and for good reason) if he openly endorses DeSantis (yet again) and later tries to bash him on the 2024 campaign trail.
Trump knows that he would have a very hard time trying to argue that DeSantis has ‘dangerous’ or even significantly different policy positions that he has. Trump has foolishly tried to paint DeSantis as only having being elected governor because of his prior endorsement. DeSantis should let Trump continue to assume that he might run for POTUS in 2024.

What if Trump decided to run third party?That makes no sense. If DeSantis (or anyone else) beats Trump in the 2024 RNC POTUS primary then they would obviously have no further need for Trump. Did you forget that Trump lost to Joe “Where am I?” Biden in 2020?

Even if Trump doesn't run, he could still do damage to a DeSantis race. Can he afford to risk alienating Trump's base when facing an incumbent Democrat in 2024?He doesn't need Trump for the Gubernatorial. And, he doesn't know if Trump will run in 2024.
Actually, the bolded was also in the article.
I don't think it maters what Trump says today, tomorrow, or whenever, in terms of Republican support. Nor, do I think he cares.
But your rationale is interesting, and I won't fault it.
That's Trump being Trump. I don't think it's any more 'foolish' than anything else he does, and he'll continue straight through wit it until the election.

Trump has the power to siphon enough votes away from DeSantis to allow Biden to retain the White House.

For DeSantis to beat Trump in the primary would require DeSantis to sway the Trump base away from Trump. I don't see that happening.
The law is closing on, o wonder if he has an exit strategy…Hell yes, "Trump Has a Decision to Make Soon."
Real simple... get the **** out of politics.
Take your overprivileged band of terrible kids with you, run off with some Russian prostitute to golden show Trump again, and leave the politics to those not quite as morally and ethically corrupt as the whole Trump family seems to be.
I believe you summed it up very well, thank you. I still think trump will not risk another loss, so he won't run.Trump will not endorse DeSantis. There is no personal benefit for Trump to do so. Trump doesn't give a fat rat's ass about the GOP.
Now, IF DeSantis would enter into a secret agreement to pardon Trump if DeSantis is elected President for Trump's endorsement then maybe. But I don't see that as a possibility.
