Regardless of whether the agreement stands, DeSantis&#8217; image could take a hit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A big part of his appeal to GOP voters is a claim to governing competence that many believe Trump lacks. DeSantis bills himself as someone who can wield the power of the state effectively and enact big changes. Disney was supposed to be a prime example of that as the biggest public battle of his tenure as governor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Right now, though, it looks like Disney has nullified DeSantis&#8217; power. The governor&#8217;s reputation as somebody who can take the anger of the GOP base and channel it into significant policy changes could take a hit, along with his ability to tout a victory over Disney on the campaign trail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s just the latest stumble for DeSantis, who also has faced criticism for calling Russia&#8217;s invasion of Ukraine a &#8220;territorial dispute&#8221; and for struggling to effectively counter Trump&#8217;s attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"451\" height=\"357\" src=\"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/trump.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-45616\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/trump.png 451w, https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/trump-300x237.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 451px) 100vw, 451px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Trump has been merciless, moving from the occasional jab at &#8220;Ron DeSanctimonious&#8221; to a near-daily barrage of criticism. He has slammed DeSantis over issues ranging from Medicare to Social Security and crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Trump campaign was quick to poke DeSantis on Disney this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;President Trump wrote \u2018Art of the Deal\u2019 and brokered Middle East peace.
