Honestly I think Trump may be veering too close to the sun with the attacks. He's basically hurling insults at anyone who supports DeSantis, including the important governor of Iowa. Campaign also seems kind of aimless right now beyond just defending himself from legal issues. He needs to really start talking about a vision. All DeSantis has is person of gender shit. When Trump was talking about building new cities a few months ago I thought my god...that's brilliant (for a Trump promise that will never happen lol). Get back to that.
DeSantis is a terrible candidate and clearly losing but the danger in my eyes is that he wins Iowa. Trump didn't win that state last time, I doubt he does this time either due to the religious vote. If DeSantis wins the first contest he gets to claim that Trump's early lead is over, he's the new frontrunner etc. The best alternative would be for some other candidate to win Iowa and then fizzle out.
Also I think it's a mistake that Trump plans on skipping the first debate.
