Ron DeSantis had it coming, but Donald Trump’s attempts to paint the Florida governor as a scarier right-winger than he is deserve to fail. What DeSantis has done in Florida — virtually ban all access to abortion — Trump has come close to doing to the entire country. Trump is just better at playing all sides.

Trump said that the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, which guaranteed a basic right to abortion, was bad for Republicans. He was right about that, witness recent lopsided pro-choice votes in Kansas and Wisconsin, not exactly liberal strongholds. And the public’s unhappiness only grows as Roe’s fall unleashes the right’s war against reproductive rights in shocking ways.

“Some people maybe say it’s my fault,” Trump has said.

As a candidate in 2016, Trump promised to nominate Supreme Court justices who would overturn Roe. And he did. His three justices provided the majority that took down Roe.

1. Hell yes it's your fault, you bloated tick on America's rear spreading contagion while sucking blood

Excuse my fury--I live in Florida, so--you know.

2. You're right to be furious. What Republicans did to Florida is criminal. nt

3. They've been working toward this for decades. They include enormously

powerful organized political action groups like the Heritage Foundation and religious right factions who made opposing abortion, including court appointments chosen and/or at least approved by them, a condition of their support. It still is.

We know tRump doesn't care a flick for "the unborn" or for abortion rights, except his own. And he loves to break campaign promises -- when he can -- to show how powerful he is, and to abuse and hurt his own followers, vulnerable to his manipulation -- because he can.
