On COVID-19, Florida Gov. DeSantis is the perfect Trump ‘protege’ | Letter to the editor

Your article in Sunday’s edition concerning Gov. Ron DeSantis’ lack of answers to the Florida COVID-19 crisis was interesting to say the least.

What further struck me is that if you replaced the name “DeSantis” with the name “Trump” you would not need to change the text of the article! The article would be the same!

Often cited as a Trump “protege,“ Governor DeSantis clearly proves what he is or perhaps is not.
