Ron DeSantis Is A Greater Threat Than Donald Trump

Marketing and branding expert Donny Deutsch warned America recently that Donald Trump is not as much of a threat as Florida's Republican governor Ron DeSantis is. Deutsch explained that Trump was hindered, to a degree, by the fact that most people just thought he was a "whackadoo," but DeSantis doesn't have that problem, and that's what makes him far more dangerous for the country. Farron Cousins explains why Deutsch is absolutely correct (because that's the same thing he's been saying for months.)

You know, I have been saying for months and months and months and months that I think personally, Ron DeSantis is more dangerous than Donald Trump. And now that DeSantis has gone even more extreme since I first started saying those things, other folks are also starting to come around to it. And one of those people happens to be MSN E contributor and branding, marketing expert, Donald Deutche. And what Mr. Deut said recently on an appearance of morning, Joe echoes what I have been saying for near a year now, but let me read this because he is spot on and I agree with it because I've literally said these exact same things. So, so here it is, I believe DeSantis will be the next candidate. He won't wait his turn. A candidate has a certain window when things are going their direction. And he is a massing power.

When you have basically right now, a punishment against a corporation, because a corporation just spoke their mind about what many people are very, very against in terms of the, don't say gay bill, we're in a scary territory and nobody is using the word scary with this guy DeSantis. He's scarier than Trump because he's smarter than Trump. And doesn't give the other side, the easy out of this. Guy's a wackadoo and this guy's crazy because he comes across in a much more well well-heeled suit. He's a very scary politician. Again, I have been saying that for a very long time, both here and over at ring of fire. And I've given that exact reason, by the way, Trump was held back when he was president of the United States, by nothing more than his own incompetence and insanity. And I'm not saying like clinical insanity, I'm talking about these wilding crazy ideas that he would come up with that were insane.

And the people close to him would pull it back. They'd be like, yeah, we can't do that. Ron DeSantis while his ideas are extreme, they're still well within the realm of possibility. Well, within the realm of something you can sell to public, and that is what makes him so scary. What also makes him scary is the fact that not only has he had these ideas, but he's pulled them off, he's had success. He he's actually doing it. He's doing the things that Republicans had only talked about doing in the last 40 years. Oh, we got a ban abortions. Oh, we gotta, we gotta get this transgender people outta here. And Ron DeSantis said, I'll do you one better. I'll actually do it. I'm not just gonna talk about it. I'm gonna do it. And that's what makes right now in this country. So scary for so many people, but DeSantis has pulled it off and he's pulled it off with tremendous says.

And the other point that Deutch makes is, again, something else that I have said, DeSantis has a limited window. If he does not run in 2024, what happens to him then? Well, assuming he wins the governorship right now in 2022, his term would end in 20, 26. So one, he has nothing to lose if he runs in 2024 and doesn't get it, he comes back. He's still the governor. But if he wants to run after 2024, he have been removed from office for two years. Now, two years may not seem like a lot of time to you and me, but in the political world two years is everything. Two years ago, nobody in this country was paying attention to Ron DeSantis. Nobody noticed him. Nobody gave a crap. Now suddenly he's the big topic of the news. You can't go to any kind of liberal website, you know, or even any news site at this point and not see a story almost every day about the latest insanity from Ron DeSantis two years ago, he didn't exist in their world two years later.

He's the biggest thing. So if he had to leave office for two years, because he would not be able to run again in 2026 for governor. So by the time he runs for president he's old news, right? If he waits till 20, 28 he's yesterday's story he's oh yeah. I think I wouldn't that the guy in Florida that did all those crazy things. Yeah. That was weird. Another Republican could rise to the top of the heap in that tim
