He wouldn't be nearly as personally corrupt, he wouldn't be a threat to the continuing existence of constitutional governance, he would somewhat less likely to promote economic policy that is totally mismatched to circumstances (see how Trump's current proposals call for extremely inflationary policy designed to goose demand and restrict supply when we have excessive demand and need supply-side boosters), he would would value competence over loyalty to a greater extent, he would be more likely to favor our allies in foreign policy over the China/Russia/Iran/NK alliance. RDS would also be less of an embarrassment in the head-of-state role.DeSantis would be a worst President than Trump.
Prove me wrong?
On the other hand, he'd be much further right and being more competent would be more likely to get a lot of harmful policy passed. See how Trump tried and failed to cut Medicaid and reduce other gov't support for healthcare. RDS probably would have gotten something significant there.
So RDS would have been terrible and worse than Trump in some ways, but better overall.
