Ben-Ghiat has written several essays making her argument.
"He's clearly readying himself for a national run, whether it's in 2024 or later. And he's a very dangerous individual," Ben Ghiat said. "He's dangerous because he is equally repressive, but doesn't have the baggage of Trump. It's hard to have the baggage of Trump."
"What we do find in history is prosecution, in the longer term, is one of the only things that deflates these guys' personality cults, because those cults are founded on the idea that they are invincible, they are infallible," Ben-Ghiat said. "Now, if that does happen to Trump — DeSantis has already absorbed all the lessons of Trump."
I know it's traditional to pick an incompetent as VP, but let's say that Trump picks DeSantis as VP.
What a ticket! And Trump would have no worry about competing with DeSantis anymore.
Interesting, but I'm concerned that would bring in all the baggage of Trump. I'd rather Trump retire from mainline politics, support DeSantis, and just give Fox news guest appearances.
