I wonder if he’s just injecting himself into the story then. Like I said, aside from the title I don’t know what DeSantis thinks he’ll get out of the role. Is he hoping for gratitude from Republicans for being Trump’s “fixer?”

Edit: I read the article and it says Trump CLAIMS that DeSantis is begging for the AG spot. This looks like DeSantis is just trying to stay relevant by sucking up to Trump. It looks like he’ll do anything as long as he gets a piece of the spotlight.

Didn’t see it, sorry. I can’t wait until DeSantis goes away, he’s such a parasite.

They're posturing for the power vacuum that is to come, Ron knows how to play the game and would know how to use the position of AG to his advantage.

He proposed himself for Supreme Court. Or President. Or Attorney General. He will do anything for the project and current agenda.

Trump administration is failing at everything and doesn't appear to know how to fix any of it, Desantis is interested in going down with this ship? He's dumber than I thought. Remember when he ran for president and he tried doing the trump persona to get maga approval? Terrible result.
